If you want good quality bulbs that will last for years, i'm running H4 Raybrig 4900k (which are very close to pure white) in my EM1 Civic Coupe i've bought cheap bulbs before in the past and have lasted no more then a year until one of the bulbs go. A set of Raybrig bulbs will set you back about 90 - 120 bucks but i've have no dramas with them in my Civic so far. Polarg are also a good brand of bulbs which were the previous ones I had that lasted me for just over 2 years before one of the bulbs went. They will set you back around the same price.

I know my passenger side bulb is a bit hard to get at because my power steering fluid bottle gets in the way, my driver side is easy as my CAI is there allowing free space to get my hands in there. Not sure what the setup is like for a CRX though?

Philips 4300k have good quality. It comes with free T10 wedges. It's a trusted brand.

u can get hid kits 6000k for $70, better than buying these bulbs

..if you want illegal (and dangerous) bulbs, which automatically negate your car insurance.

The safest, brightest bulbs are either Philips X-treme Power bulbs, or Osram Night Breaker bulbs - the Osrams are also sold as Narva Blue Power bulbs, and are available just about everywhere.
