are these your stock bulbs? the gooey stuff is just sealant so moisture doesn't get to the connectors

how long did you have them? because if you touched the glass when you installed them that can make them explode.

would it be the fuse went out and not the light bulb? check the fuse box in the driver kick, or the one under the hood. there have two different fuse boxes on civic. last time i asked a similar question on here. and NO ONE TELL ME THERE IS ANOTHER FUSE BOXES UNDER THE HOOD.. it took me a long time to find it out. Good Luck~
