Product Description
Honda Civic Sedan 2012-2015 Stainless Headlight Accent Trim, 2 Pieces (HL12214)
HL12214 is a two-piece headlight accent trim for the Honda Civic 4-door Sedan, model years 2012 through 2015, four years on one Fitment row. The catalog is specific about placement: the trim adheres to the front bumper, underneath the headlight. It goes on the bumper surface below each lamp, not on the lens; the photos show the exact shape.
Both Civic pieces are 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA. For the Civic's headlights, each accent attaches by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. The kit installs directly over the existing surface, without drilling, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
The row is tagged 4-door Sedan only. The same sheet lists a two-piece pillar set, PP12212, for the 2-door Coupe, but the headlight accent isn't tagged for the coupe, so call before ordering for one.
Look closely at the area under each headlight before you start. Repair chips and any peeling or flaking paint, because the tape needs a firm painted surface. Then wash the area with soapy water, rinse, dry, and wipe with a degreaser to remove wax and road film. Use the product photos to tell the two pieces apart, and hold each in place with its liner on to check the fit along the bottom of the lamp. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel one liner at a time, set the piece on its marks, and press firmly along its full length, then go back over both after a minute. Stand in front of the car and compare the two pieces before the tape sets. The Installation tab has more detail.
The Civic sheet has a long list of cross-listed parts for the sedan. GC12214 is a one-piece gas door cover trim, LP12214 a one-piece license plate bezel, and RB12214 a one-piece rear bumper trim accent. Pillar post sets come in three sizes for the sedan: PP12214 with four pieces, noted with a crease on the side of the pillar, PP12215 with six and PP12216 with eight. RD12214, TH12214, TH12215, WP12214, WP12215, WP12216, WQ12214 and WS12214 are listed by number only. Check each listing for its finish and photos.
Polished 304 stainless gives a bright, reflective line under each lamp, and 26 gauge keeps it slim against the bumper. Install on a dry, mild day and let the tape set overnight before washing. Afterward, mild soap and a soft cloth keep it clean.
Before you order, confirm two things. First, the model year: the row covers 2012 through 2015, and your records will show it. Second, the body: this kit is for the sedan. If both check out, the headlight accent is a quick way to brighten the front of the Civic, since it's only two pieces and the placement is spelled out in the catalog. If you're also considering the rear bumper accent or the license plate bezel, check each listing so the front and back are planned together.

Installation tips: Head Light Accent Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
