Silverstars are pretty.

I don't know the socket size on the Civic, but if it's a 9006 ... do a Silverstar 9005 conversation.

i honestly didnt notice shiet when i did a 9005 conversion. sure it was a bit brighter, but the coverage was different so it kind of negated itself.

the silverstars dont last long.

i just stick with stock bulbs. that way when they blow out, you're not pissed that you threw your money away. sorry.
