According to the Sylvania Replacement guide, it would be an 1157.

Attempted it last night. Going from under the car the difficulty is in the small space that you have the reach up and locate the bulb. You have to reach up to about mid-forearm and maneuver around what I believe is the washer fluid bottle. Might be easier with the car raised up via jack/jack stands or a lift. My attempt was unsuccessful because the bulbs I have (1157's) are the wrong ones

Then here is another change Acura made to the 2012 refresh, they have now gone to a 3157 front parking/turn signal bulb. The 1157 bulb that I tried to install last night is the "twist and turn" type but actually the socket now is for a "plug in" type.

only 1 way to find out, take a look at your stock bulbs. it should have some type of writing or imprint of what model bulbs they are
