I got generic H4s that compare to piaa and superstars for $12/pair. They haven't blown yet and I've used them for over a year. I'd give you a brand name but there is non
Make sure you're not touching the bulbs directly with your hands when installing them.

The recall is not on all 01-02 Civic's.. If your was involved, you would've gotten a letter from Honda.
And the recall is the switch harness, not the headlights themselves.. Sounds like you got some electrical issues with that specific light (right side). MAke sure the seal is completely on there. There may be moisture getting inside there causing the bulb to burn out..
