Can i grow hair grass with the lighting from this aquarium kit?

I doubt it. i'd just go with java moss.
 
do u guys think i can find a replacement flourescent bulb for that lamp?

I doubt it. i'd just go with a 5.5G and get something like the coralife mini aqualight for it.
 
You'll need to replace the lamp since the ballast for fluorescent lamps are designed to work with a specific wattage.
 
I have a 10L setup and one of those clip on 9w lamps.

I am growing these plants below successfully with that light and co2 injection

Alternanthera reineckii
Bacopa monnieri
Limnobium laevigatum
Java Moss
Tonnina
Some kind of Hygrophila plant (from amazon, purple)
Windelow Moss (?) or something that looks very much like it.

Why not try dwarf hair grass? It says "ANY" light is okay.

Hairgrass neds more light then that. If it does not have enough light it will just turn brown and die and that is not very pretty.
