Sylvania SilverStars and other bulbs with a blue tint are also suboptimal:

IIRC your Civic uses H4 bulbs. The best performing standard wattage H4 bulbs you can find are in order:

1) Philips X-treme Power
2) Osram Night Breaker
3) +50 bulbs (Philips Vision Plus, Osram Silver Star (NOT Sylvania Silver Star), Narva RangePower+50, GE Night Hawk)
4) +30 bulbs (Narva RangePower+30, Sylvania XtraVision)


You SHOULD be safe using the lowest power overwatts too (70/65w vs 60/55w - more light than all of above - off road use only ), but there is always the risk of melting wires/housings.
