They are the type of bulb to use with various applications. The Civics use an H4 bulb (JDM is H4h). I believe most of the projectors use an H3. Google is your friend.

9006 is meant for a single filament headlight with a projector bulb
the 9005 is a single filament for a non projector housing, usually for hi-beams

the 94-2001 integra uses 9006 for low beam and 9005 for high

modify the 9005 bulb to fit the 9006 socket. its a matter of removing one of the tabs and shaving down the grooves inside the bulb socket.
