I know that there are OEM taillights that have white bottoms and red tops. I'm pretty sure they come on other models, but I know for sure that they come on the Honda Integra SJ in Japan. Good luck finding them though. An importer might be able to get you a set if you ask.
Remember that since you have a sedan, there are a lot more parts available to you out there. You just have to research it yourself and you should be able to find out a lot. I don't think there's any other model based off of the 6th gen Civic coupe or hatch, but there are a lot based off of the sedan.

Hellz yeah - that's what I have on my EJ8 - '99/'00 tails - looks very good
.
The red/white(clear) ones like that look pretty good - the altezza just makes things look crappy.

I thought you had a coupe. Those are sedan taillights that were never sold in the US. Those also fit '96-'98 sedans, not the '99-'00s.
Since we're talking about the different options available for other cars, this could possibly be considered tech too (different markets and all). I disagree that anything that has to do with looks should go in A/C. A/C to me is more of a "post photos" section imo.

Here's a pic of a set of the 1.6EL taillights for the OP.

If he wanted the '99-'00 taillights, he'd need a new trunk.
This thread is about an LX sedan, not a coupe.

The OEM lights we posted above are from the JDM Honda Integra SJ (NOT like an Acura Integra - the SJ is based off the '96-'00 Civic sedan) and from the Canadian Acura 1.6EL.
I don't drive a sedan. I drive a coupe.

I'd get one of the OEM sets shown above. Either EL outers or Integra SJ full taillights.
