Re: civic light

Low beam element is burnt, replace both bulbs.
Do not touch the glass part on the new bulbs.

Re: civic light

New bulbs can be bad, highly unlikely - you may have got the wrong bulbs. Low beam element / high beam element are the things inside that produce light. When there is only a single headlight that serves as both high/low beam, there are actually two bulbs inside one - 2 elements. Similar to a brake / tail light, light is dim when tail lights are on, light brightens when brakes applied due to the 2 elements. If it were a fuse then the lights would not function at all.

The correct bulb # is 9003
