Headlight repacement with lawnmower lights

Post by blankmonkey »

I seem to recall on this site hearing that there are headlight replacements that I can buy for a riding lawnmower that are the same as the ones I need for my vibe ('06 gt), but are a fraction of the cost. I have been searching and searching and cant seem to find it. Has anyone tried this? what part is it?

hey all, i found the link, it was a tractor bulb. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=42241But I still have 1 question. Do the HIR bulbs fit, or do I have to use some modification kit, or 'mod' the bulb??Is there separate high and low beam bulbs?

Everything you need to know about HIR bulbs .The HIR bulbs are a direct replacement for 9005 (9011) & 9006 (9012) bulbs, but they do require some slight modifications to fit the 9005 & 9006 harnesses. 2003-2008 Vibes use 9006 bulbs for the fog lights.2009-2010 Vibes use 9006 bulbs for the low beams & 9005 bulbs for the high beams.
