i read some forums about replacing the fog lights, and i still have unanswered questions, first should i get the exact replacements for my entirely broken fog lights and cases or should i rig it so i can fit two aftermarket circular foglights inside it? which would work better? and if i do buy the stock replacements, what are the exact bulbs that should be put in it if i would like that ultra bright insanly white look, ( would those bulbs also work in the headlights of my 03 vibe, i want everything to be the brightest possible. thank you ahead of time.

Wow you have a lot of questions lol. Just find some OEM replacements, they look better. You could get some cheapo ones from Autozone to fit, but they wont look that good. And your probably thinking of HID's. You could convert your lights to HID's but it ain't cheap.

yeah the HIDs those are sweet, do you know what the whole 9005 and 9006 means, because they were talkign abotu how thsoe were the way to go for the bulbs, but i have no idea what they are.

wow no answers to the question above? its been awhile

I would just go to autozone or walmart napa anywhere like that and just get the fog light number replaced mine awhile back I thought it was a 9003 but maybe a 9005 it will tell you exactly in the book or just check sylvania.com that will have it.

the number refers to the type of bulb the light socket usesvibe headlights use 9003/h4vibe foglights use 9006. however 9005's can be used IF modified.

are those HID?

It's what I did when I was his age.. 9003/9006 are the bulbs BASE, as Keith mentioned.. There are only about 20 different bases in use and only about 4-5 common ones.. If you go looking, you can make the visual comparison.. AFA the broken housing, Ebay.. They aren't hard to install, but you need to set the new and old side by side and make sure everything is the same... When I replaced a set for one of our now exiled members Darkmatter(SP?) I had to swap over the adjuster screws...

yeah thanx, i did read it fast, but i seriously doubt anyone else that is sixteen whom has a vibe ( if they exist ) wants to do anything of any sort to their car. Im sixteen i bought it, your polly 20-100 and u have one, i have years less experience, so please ber patient. thank you sublimewinbd for all your help.

When I was 16, I thought that the displacement was my horsepower. I had a 305 V8 and I told everyone I had 305 hp. Live and learn. It will all come in time for ya. At least you have great site here to clue you in a lot of things.

lol. I'm def not a car guru now, but I def know some things, and everytime I think back to when I was telling ppl that, I tend to chuckle at how little ppl probably thought of me at the time lol.

I've spewed BS like that i'm sure in the past...lol... i'm just having a hard time now remembering WHAT... I'll tell you what though, my first car, a 92' VW GTi, was a TOTAL pile of crap... It was always broke somehow... I VOWED that I would never get rolled over a barrel again, like I did with that car.. (this was "just" as forum sites were switching over from the oldschool bulletin boards..) If I have a problem, I know I can find an answer online, these days.. lol.. I still haven't found a Chevy Aveo forum yet though... lol.. (My GF's car)

haha lol, so has anyone mad any sort of protective thing for the fog lights that will protect the rocks from breaking the glass, it seems like that piece of plastic material some vibe owners use wouldnt cut it.

Of course someone has!!http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=16180

If I could find aftermarket spring/struts for it and some poly motor/tranny mounts. The Aveo could REALLY be a micro-car force to be reconned with... lol... I would also love to be able to get a lightweight flywheel for it to... The motor LOVE to rev, but the darn flywheel is always there keeping things "slow".. lol... Sport Compact Car ran a seies where they built one for Time Attack... put the CBSS turbo motor in, full cage, full coilovers... the whole 9... lol.. I wanted that car.. BAD..
