Those things look great! Definitely a new look for the Vibe. But I still stand by my believing that some 03-04 headlights would look great on there!Wait a second.... what happened to the front fascia extensions?

As you can see from my sig, the 03-04 headlights have black in all unnecessary-for-lighting areas, whereas the 05+ are totally chrome. Bluecrush has some 03-04 style headlights on his 05 Vibe.

I assume so. Bluecrush has 03-04s on his 05. You'd probably just need to adjust the lights to where they currently are, and in that case all you need is a 10mm wrench to adjust.

Quote, originally posted by DJ_Losch_411 »one thing though, the tire shop couldnt locate the tire sensors anywhere on the wheels... any clue where they are?Wheels look menacing. Regarding the sensors, actual TPMS sensors in the wheels didn't arrive until the 2008 model year. Prior to 2008, tire pressure monitoring was accomplished by using the speed sensors of the ABS system to compare wheel speeds. I hope that answers your question if you didn't already know.Enjoy your new wheels.PlatinumVibe08
