LED bulbs are very much different than halogen bulbs.
Why Focus Matters for LED Headlight Bulbs
I do not endorse their product but they explain why LED bulbs would never match the performance of a halogen bulb inside a housing made for halogen bulbs. People are also getting a mixed bag on quality as shown in the video. Each bulb has a different measurement and design with no set standard, unlike the halogen.
LED bulbs are a completely different technology when compared to halogen bulbs. They do both emit light, but the way that they do it are different.
An LED bulb produces light by passing the electric current through a semiconducting material—the diode—which then emits photons (light) through the principle of electroluminescence.
Halogen bulbs work just like with incandescent light bulbs, the electrical current enters the socket and travels up to the tungsten filament, heating up the filament to incandescence. The enhancement with halogen lamps is that the filament is enclosed in a quartz capsule filled with halogen gas.
If we compare the two bulbs above, we can notice how the LED tries to mimic the halogen as best as it can. However, there is one big flaw, the LEDs can only emit light in one direction, that is perpendicular to the surface that it is mounted on. There is also a large heatsink to draw away the heat that the LEDs emit. On the other hand, the halogen can emit light from all direction (omnidirectional) and does not require a heatsink.
How does this affect light output? Here is an LED bulb when it is turned on. The large heatsink and the way the LEDs work, create a massive dark area that light would never reach. This is critical in a headlight as they are designed to focus light in certain areas and at certain intensity. Just slightly altering the angle at which light comes out of the headlight can translate to a few feet of light being casted somewhere where it is useless to a driver. The same thing happens in a projector housings as well. The focal point at where the light is focused inside a projector is moved. Very similar to how our eyeballs work and how people can have nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Here is how an LED looks like in a reflector headlight.
In the end, there's nothing that you can do to try and fix the light output of the LED bulb, because physically, they are completely different. The diodes of the LED will always be out of focus when installed into a halogen housing.

LED headlight bulbs, especially in reflectors, are not upgrades. They are downgrades in every way. The only problem they solve is making whoever sold it to you less poor.
It was found that these 9 LED bulbs, tested in 3 different headlamps, failed the most basic photometric testing. Usually, photometric testing consists of measuring light output at a few dozen test points in the beam pattern. These scientists only tested 5 points, and all 27 combinations of LED bulb+halogen headlamp failed. Most produced excessive glare, and even those that did not produce excessive glare actually produced less distance vision light. In other words, chances are LED bulbs both create glare for others and don't light up the road as well as halogen bulbs.

>Several different LED replacement bulb kits, each designed to replace a conventional 55-W H11 halogen bulb, were purchased and tested in three different low-beam headlight units. [...]These findings suggest that using after-market LEDs to replace halogen bulbs can compromise headlighting performance.
You might think LED bulbs light up the road just fine and dandy after a test drive, but that's because of the excessive foreground light produced by unfocused LED chips. Excessive foreground light--defined in the literature as 10 to 26 feet in front of the vehicle--is highly correlated with positive headlamp impressions. However, when travelling 40 MPH (60 feet/second), is seeing what's 25 feet ahead of you relevant, or is seeing what's 150 feet ahead more relevant?
Have you ever wondered why no car manufacturer makes or produces their own LED bulbs and just swap them out from the halogen bulbs? People would be more inclined to buy directly from a dealership instead of buying LED bulbs online from companies that they have never heard of before. Sales people could easily up-sell LED bulbs if the same claims that online sellers make are true.
Instead, car manufacturers spend time and money creating new headlamps specifically for LED technology. They even go as far as over designing these headlamps to get a perfect score from IIHS.

Another downside of these LED bulbs is that non or them are DOT or ECE certified, meaning you are getting a mixed bag on quality. They are not regulated and therefore the light output, power, lumens, etc. can vary greatly from brand to brand.

I would also check to make sure that your headlights are properly aimed. Over time the adjustment screws can vibrate loose. Whatever you do, do not install LED or HID bulbs into your headlight housing as they are not designed to have them in there.
Side not, the reflective type headlights on the 10th gen Civic perform very poorly. If you were driving the 2021 Honda Civic Touring or above trim level LEDs in the headlight housing, then it is no surprise that you could see much better at night.
Install some high quality performance halogen bulbs as the ones installed from the factory are designed for longevity. You can get close to a white halogen, but you will never get something like 4000 kelvins. This is due to the technology of the bulb.
Some halogen bulbs claim to be true white by coating the entire bulb in blue tint. This actually reduces the performance of the bulb as the yellow light wavelength is filtered out, effectively reducing the amount of light being thrown out. Ingeniously, manufacturers have figured out that they can coat certain areas of the bulb in blue tint to give off a white light, but still output its full performance. For example, see the bulbs listed below.

Whatever you do, do not install LED or HID bulbs into your headlight housing as they are not designed to have them in there.
This is mostly likely an optical illusion. The daytime running lights cast more light in the foreground (area directly in front of the vehicle) than the low beams. This gives a perception that they illuminate better, but they do not as when you are driving, you are not looking at what is 50 ft of less in front of you car, instead you are looking hundreds or thousands of feet in front.

These won't be a bright white like LEDs, but they won't be as yellow as normal LEDs. I also don't recommend a completely blue tinted halogen bulb, as it filters out the yellow wavelength of light and reduces the light output.
