Hey i was planning on road tripping with my loved EG in the upcoming weeks.
Would like to know if there were any type of universal or any bull bars that would fit a civic hatch?
Why?
My headlights are shocking for the night roads and i would like to use some more effective lights that attach to the bar.
Anyone know of anything that can help?

Kmart use to have a light bar, where you screw down to your numberplates.

get brighter adr compliant bulbs, ensure theyre aimed properly as per the handbook, possibly buy aftermarket eg factory replica foglights from a kit on ebay
still alot cheaper and work better than (non factory specific/engineered to suit the car) hids

yeah thought abt changing bulbs of the car but just want something that will DEFINITELY light up the dark highways
will look into aiming the reflectors and will try HID's from my other car.
keep the ideas coming

foglights arent mean to improve your visibility, they only improve your cars visibility to others during foggy conditions. meaning, your car is easier to spot by truckies and other drivers.
i say maybe buy globes of around 5-6000K rating and drive with the high beams, and adjust your headlight beam. just dont get globes that exceed your standard wattage.

have changed my globes, theyre still the raybrig ones from new, but they're angled slightly, same with my headlights, everything is based on good trigonometry

Foglights have a really wide dispersion so you can't really 'aim' them, that's why they're illegal to use in regular road conditions. I've had a few different foglights on my car and none of them really helped with lighting the road ahead, even with different bulbs.

The headlights ability to light up the road has never concerned me. I just noted how the fog lights were useless in every aspect in lighting up the road.

Haha, some of the Civic wagon's came stock with these.

Swap out your foglights for driving lamps.
