Cool, I'd love to see these on a Vibe (especially a Black one). Doesn't seem to be any actual pictures, even at the manufacturer's website.

Those generally scream "PULL ME OVER AND GIVE ME A TICKET", but they sure do look cool. I know a picture has been posted here of someone (drunken?) who had them on his Vibe.

They should be ok for day light driving but when its dusk and you have to have ur lights on, they should be taken off. or the warning is "off road use only", either way i wanna see pics of these installed :D

I had a set of these on a civic years ago. It wasn't too bad, even at night. If you're driving a lot on roads without street lighting it can seem like you're driving in fog Although having the fog lights on would help a bit. I wish they made these a little more translucent, like maybe 35% or 50%. Hopefully someone can post a picture soon. I might have to get these... How do I explain this one to the wife ? The tint I can say it's for blocking the sun. Maybe I can tell her they are to protect the Headlights. That is one of the purposes but we all know that it's all about the looks

installing and removing takes about 5 seconds apiece! they will not fall off in the car wash either; you have to open your hood to put them on and take them off. you can see your headlight through them, not much during the day, but somewhat more at night. this is prob why you dont get pulled over for having them on at night.

on a side note, ive had them on since about a month after getting my car (3.5 yrs ago) and my headlights look flawless! just like brand new, no chips or nothing! (obviously, they are covered)

When I was in highschool EVERYONE had these.. I had a 92 talon.. now.. I DID take mine off at night, but here is why.. they were CLEAR covers, and had been masked with like 2 small circles.. then painted RED on the inside to match the car. So at night with lights on they would kind of glow "red" and that will get you a ticket for sure.I'd like to get a set of clear covers for the Vibe, mask out some design, and paint the inside Neptune.. I think that'd look cool.

Nothing done to the taillights since nothing is really available. I think I have the front view that shows up on the left side but I can't seem to find it. I can take some more pics if you want. How do you want them, I can take them tonight before dark?

you know how i like it jk.hmmm a upclose pic of the light with the cover on, then a front view that is semi close (showing the whole front of the car) and you could snap some pics from the diagnal of the front corner of the vibe. I just need a feel for how they look, maybe one with the lights on? THANK you so much for doing this

Now the sides of the headlights look a lot darker now because I have the grafxwerks side cover stickers to eliminate those side reflectors!!

Wow those are awesome, they would look pimpin' on my Abyss Vibe. I was thinking about waiting until next Spring to get them but I might have to go for it now. Any place in Canada sell these ? Not a bad price on e-bay it seems but probably get dinged with customs/brokerage fees.

Found these at driverfx.cahttp://www.7453217467431.com/p...tab=1Too bad they aren't a little cheaper. It says no shipping surcharge so at least that's good. Still might end up being cheaper going through e-bay and having them shipped from the U.S.Here's a pic although it looks like they just blacked out the lights with a graphics program...

I tried to contact the e-bay seller for these twice but got no response. If anyone else tried to contact seller, did you get a response. I was going to order these as long as shipping to Canada wasn't too bad. It only lists a shipping price for US and says to contact seller for shipping outside US. I hate e-bay sellers that don't reply to questions. Anybody have another place to buy these from ?

Thanks everyone for posting photos - they look damn cool. On an Abyss I think it'll really look sharp. Good find! I too had these on my 87 Mustang GT - the night before I was going to hand over the keys to the new owner - some assbag decided to rip the bra off the car to get them off.
