You didn't mention, how the information is stored. But if you have numbers in your combo box and you can fetch the information with that number, you need to trap SelectedIndexChanged for the combo box:

 Help with Code Tags 
 VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
  ' Get selected VIN number
  Dim ThisVINNumber As Integer
 
  Try
    ThisVINNumber = CInt(ComboBox1.Items(ComboBox1.SelectedIndex))
    ' Fetch information for this VIN and place it in the labels
  Catch ex As Exception
    ' Handle exception
  End Try
 
End Sub
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
  ' Get selected VIN number
  Dim ThisVINNumber As Integer

  Try
    ThisVINNumber = CInt(ComboBox1.Items(ComboBox1.SelectedIndex))
    ' Fetch information for this VIN and place it in the labels
  Catch ex As Exception
    ' Handle exception
  End Try

End Sub

Hope this gets you started. If you still have a problem, you need to tell more details about how you store your information (database, a file...)
