Great pictures and awesome Vibes! It's always great to meet new people who share your passion :D.

The owner of the white Vibe really needs to get some new headlights though :shock:!

Great to hear meeting up with some fellow Vibe owners got you passionate about your own Vibe again :)!

Glad to hear he's looking into getting new headlights. The ones that are on there now ruin the entire look of the Vibe :(.

Just restore the headlights, way cheaper than buying a set of new headlights

Using a restoration kit isn't going to get everything though. The lens may be already screwed cuz it was all on the inside as well so it could and may not clear up a lot but should be better than now.

the problem with the restoration kits are that when you use it, you are peeling off the initial protectant that the lens comes with to protect the burn marks on the lens. Although, not saying it doesn't work great as I use it myself on my 2006 with 126k miles, but, the best thing to do is get a protectant film that you can order online to overlay the headlights with it. This will help prevent the headlights from doing this again, in most cases.
