I posted something awhile back about it. You will need to purchase the reapiar kit from the dealer which will give you the new harnesses and plugs and just splice them and plug in. there is a total of 5 wires (signal,hi beam,low beam, driving lights and i believe ground) something like that and everything else is plug and play. will take you about 2hrs total. Good Luck

you want to replace your HID housings with non-HID housings?

I think you really want your Civic back.

If you don't have BIX then you will not have self leveling and just by changing headlamps you will not get this without additional parts.

Please search some more since this has been addressed previously.
