Aftermarket 2004 headlights

Post by Wingnut »

Anyone know if anyone out there sells aftermarket head lights that look different then the ones that are OEM? I have searched for days and can't find any type of aftermarket "custom" headlights. I was thinking something with a projector or carbon fiber inside and I can't find anything but OE replacements. If anyone know's, please let me know. ;)

Unfortunately, nobody makes those headlights for our cars. You'd have to retrofit the projectors yourself. Many people here have done just that, pop the headlights in the oven to soften the sealant, take the lenses apart, modify the inside, and then put it back together.

Keith at Ultimate Retrofit could do it for you, he's around the board fairly often. He's got a web site you should check out for more information.

I will do that. Hard to believe they don't make anything. I found some for the Matrix. I even found some for the aztec. But not the vibe. :o

A little bit of $$$. You need a quote from him though.

My con in the whole thing was the loss of my DRL. It's worth it if that's the look you want, I just didn't want it enough.

It's a shame that they make them for the Aztek but not the Vibe. IMO, Aztek's are hideous!
