Default headlight bulbs?

Buy stock replacements. I use GE Nighthawks. Great output and they last hella long. All 96-00 Civic headlights use a single bulb that has dual filaments. High and low beams are concealed in the same bulb.

As far as size, they should be H4 bulbs unless you have JDM headlights which are H4H. If you have some sort of ricer headlight then I cant really help you.

No, no. Like what size? H4/H3 etc. edit: nevermind

Although I do suppose I need some recommendations for what brand of bulb, so keep those coming too.

9003

Any of those silverstar bulbs suck IMO. Well they're ok, but not worth the money

You need an HB2 (9003/H4 are the same) bulb. Stock will last longer then the other junk.

Yeah 9003 is H4. Same thing just different numbers.

Go for the GE Nighthawks. Theyre one of the brightest stock replacement bulbs and theyre only about $20. You can get them at Wal-Mart and probably most auto parts stores.
