Welcome to the forum Alaska700, hope we can assist you. Are you currently using sylvania's Cool Blue lights, or the SilverStar? These are quite bright without adding additional bar lights. Or are they the stock lights.

I upgraded to the brightest bulb(the sylvanias I think thats what the Napa guys said was the brightest), but its still not very bright. I think because the lens are yellowing over.

Im not looking for anything fancy, or to make the civic look fast, because its not.

A good clearheadlight that is reallybright.
Any recommendations?

Get some 3m polishing compound liquid, and polish the headlight cover, do it gently and most of the film will clear off and the light will be faily bright again. most light cover lenses do yellow or appear to fog up.

I also have this issue, but I use StreetGlow Xenon 65W bulbs. They're bright but when driving at night in the highway, it is pretty difficult to see that far ahead.

I've considered getting a HID kit. Would that help?
