Sounds like the 2nd generation of sensors for the '01 - '04 cars. As you discovered the hard way - they are not cross compatible. Replacement sensors should look exactly like the ones you removed. Maybe you can return them for the right ones - or sell them. How much did you pay? The 2nd generation sensors are less expensive than the 1st generation ones.

The best price I've seen on the 1st generation sensors is about $80 a piece - but I don't know how much that would in Canadian dollars.

Thats stinks. If the Tire Rack won't trade you, you may want to consider posting for a Want to Sell and Want to Buy sensors on the Parts for sale forum.

Sounds like you have the newer style sensor. They are definitely smaller in size than the '97-00 ones. If the vendor sold you the wrong type, give them a call and have them exchange them for you.
