Oh man, is that ever some serious ownage! Some people have no shame, sheesh! "Let's just do a random search for a car on the interweb and hope we find a picture to use for our e-bay sale! Those look CLOSE ENOUGH to what we're selling! What the hell, people are stupid, so it doesn't matter, we'll just use this!" Yeah, tell him about it... And be sure to let him know that fogs aren't optional on these cars too. Get yer facts straight, Mr. Bling Bling and use actual PHOTOS of your actual PRODUCTS actually INSTALLED on the actual VEHICLES you are selling them for. Maybe when they go to sell yellow fogs, I'll find pics of my ol' Vibe that they dug up.

Just saw this Sam! What the deuce!!! What a thief! I mean obviously he probably got the pic from this site! I would email the guy for sure! The Internet is very large but in some ways small and the chances of you finding this or someone telling you about it were still there. Nice of him to show a car with fogs that are not his product! I would not buy them from the guy based off that but the average person would not be able to tell I am sure! I do searches myself to see of any morons are coping my idea every now and then. BEWARE other people who want to steal ideas, I search ebay too and will call you out on it! I applied for a patent with mine too!

I'm sure it probably is...but what gets me is the "effect" of the lights in the new photo. It's a swirly Photoshop bullet of some sort pasted over the foglight...LOL. So I did the "Ask the seller a question" thing and asked, "How do these lights actually look, since your image appears to be a Photoshopped-in swirly blue bullet over the foglight?"

His completely unhelpful reply to my e-mail:Hi,We carry many different lamps in stock. This particular kit has a deep blue output. Hope this helps. thank you-JasonEdit: And yeah that new listing's large photo is a Vibe alright! Complete with the Dodge Ram frontend bodykit and a lift kit. The blue Vibe is psychobroker's I believe.

LOL Even if they were real they would not be very useful. They did a marginally better job on the Ram but still not very believable.

That Vibe rocks man, I love those swirly pinwheel fogs! Reminds me of those damn candies! And...WOW! They sell HID's for my Hyundai! And the picture is right on, too - check it out! IT'S A SUBARU!!! The pic of the headlight shows a SUBARU! lol!Geez, you'd think they could have at least listed it with a fake pic of the real car like everything else! Hell, I'll help! But then again, the other Vibe listings with the DODGE RAM and 300C!

YOU ARE BIDDING ON "BLINDLIGHTS" PREMIUM HID LIGHTING KIT FOR PONTIAC VIBE! Those you meet on the road will NEVER live to tell about the experience. This is the ultimate weapon against darkness! Two ten billion candlepower headlight thingies and associated deelykabobs for connecting are included. Also, don't pay the extra $300 for the standard fog lights that are optional on the Vibe! Included are two TURBO CRYSTAL YELLER ION HID fog lights that you can replace your Vibe's standard optional equipment fog lights with.

Look up I-Pods for sale and look to see how much most of the USED I-Pods are going for....lol Its funny to see the Used I-Pods selling for more than you can buy one brand spanking new.

i hope you pointed out that you belong to a LARGE vibe owner community and the longer he takes to remove your photo, the more potential vibe owners he is alienating and will not receive orders from....and we'll tell 2 friends, and so on, and so on...there are a lot of us!!hit him in the wallet and you'll see that image taken down so fast you won't believe it!

Hmm, I see something new! Unless I missed it earlier. On this listing:Psychobroker, care to explain this?Donated by Psychobroker? I guess that's cool that they received the picture as a donation or whatever, if that is the case, BUT... I think it would be a friendly gesture if they state THOSE ARE THE STOCK FOG LIGHTS and NOT the Xenon fog lights they are advertising. I could be wrong, they look like the factory fogs to me, I could be seeing things, but I doubt it.
