What year is your Civic? You can replace your bulbs with LEDs to make it brighter. Just gotta know what specific vehicle you have to further assist you.

swapping the bulbs to LEDs are about the brightest you can get them. or you can do a custom LED setup using addiction2bass's DIY for a 96-00 civic which is a little brighter than bulbs but is more complicated and time consuming. or you can get the glow gauges off ebay but highly dont recommend those.

i think civics 2001 and newer are plenty bright, its the 2000's and below that could use some more light

I recommend against doing this because you have to hack up the cluster a little bit, and the Oznium LED strips are not very reliable... replacing one if it burns out (they normally burn out in 3-bulb sections) will be a pain in the ***.

it is going to take some custom work. i did mines this way because simply i just wanted to try it. LED bulbs are going to be the most convenient and simplest way to get brighter lights. i highly recommend doing it this way
