Now I am thinking of getting a set of these for my Vibe. Can anyone tell me what the number is? They have 9007 and all that code stuff lol, unfortunatly the book I was looking in didn't have Vibe, not even 2003. The guy thought he had a couple for the Vibe but he said there was no return for an open box even with proof of purchase.And did you replace headlights and foglights when you put those on? if so what was the fog light number?Also opinions, I read some times the lights do not last long, seems most have been going strong still but any further thoughts as in how they actually help out visibility would be great. I haven't had probs with the stock lights but might as well do something else to make my Vibe stick out eh?

9003 heads, 9006 fogs, usually last at least a year. They are super bright and make a huge difference in night vision. Also do a search, there is tons of stuff. They are around $25-$27.00 each and worth every cent! Got mine at Canadian Tire.

I am sure you can find the info easily if you do a search on "Silverstar"Off the top of my head.... since I lazy to do the search too, I think the headlights and fogs are 9006 and 9004 respectively or the other way around. I am fairly sure 9004 and 9006 are the numbers.

Yeah $27 at Canadian Tire, I looked this past evening but I don't want to buy the wrong ones lol. That 9003 also the GM AC Delco headlight number? If the numbers are the same, I'll look that up at work tomorrow. Right now I just wanna try headlights and see how it looks before buying 4 lights.Thanks guys.

It describes a double-filament bulb with 3 electrical contacts, in a square-shaped arrangement. This style bulb is used on dozens of different vehicles.GM part number for the stock headlight bulb is 91171148 ($24.60 US). Fog lamp stock number is 9441733 ($14.22 US)

I was only off by 1.I am probably going to install them in spring too but given my skills... they may not last as long as they should.

Well I'm going to pick up two tonight and install myself, it looks really simple and I change them all the time here at work on other vehicles, Grand Am is the hardest to do.Anyone thinking those bulbs are pricey $27 a piece... its $39 canadian for regular bulbs.I'll let you know how it goes, just remember to NEVER touch the bulb with your hand, use a rag.
