What headlight bulbs to get?

Hey everyone, ok btw i did use the search button and found another post like this but the dude was asking for suggestions on bulbs that were purplish...im not . Ok well I was first wondering if anyone has bought the $30 bulbs from walmart, dont know if there anygood but im just wondering, and if so how good they were. Also I am looking for bulbs that give out a nice white light. BTW this is going into the stock headlights. What brands do yall reccomend and how much do they cost? Thanks.

should be fine, long as there h4's and you have 01-03 civic. They should fit. The 04 civic uses HB4 or part 9006.

slyvania? come on now.
trust..........get POLARG for the small bulbs
and headlight bulbs...there are a million that are good just remember you usually get what you pay for. and NEVER buy APC. i had two bulbs burn out after only having a month. apc bulbs may be the best at pep boys but there is much better out there
