First of all, welcome to the GenVibe! Here is a link to a great post regarding all of the exterior bulb numbers: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=6871 Also, check out this link to Sylvania.com and you will get the bulb numbers from them for the Vibe. The Sylvania Silverstars are really nice. A lot of members have switched to them including myself.Hope this helps!

How hard is it to but them(Head and Fog) in the Vibe? My Impreza was a pain.

Hi myredrs...I had the Sylvania Silverstars in both Fog and Headlight... The headlights lasted about 6 months so I switched to a regular Sylvania bulb for the headlights but still run the Silverstars in the fogs.THey are relatively easy to change though if you have a big hand or need to see what you're doing, you may need to remove the battery to get to the driver's side headlight. I changed both head a fog lights without really looking. The headlights have a gasket which you can pull off.. there are 2 rubber tabs on the gasket which you can use to pull it off. Unplug the bulb, pull off the gasket, unclip the metal tension clip and it comes right out.THe fog lights don't have the rubber gasket. They attach kinda like a child-proof medicine jar. Twist to remove, pull out, unplug, plug in new bulb, then replace in reverse orde of how you removed em.I would suggest doing the passenger side headlight first so you know what to expect on the driver's side. Just remember the metal tension clip must be pushed in slightly to be released. It's not too difficult to do.Dave
