Ok, so first thing noticeable is the painted headlights. Along with the body color headlight housings are... BC Mirror caps, BC Rear Beauty Bar, and BC lower bumper plastic and removed the front plate holder. What you don't see are BC Fuse panel cover and BC ECM cover under the hood. Here are some pics and after the pics are some explanations to help with questions I know will be asked... So without further ado...

Rear w/ BC beauty bar, BC taillights and dual exhaust.

Now for some explanations...
* Rear beauty bar is straightforward. Couple bolts outside and couple bolts inside behind plastics.
* Mirror caps were removed VERY carefully and essentially just pry off
* Lower bumper piece has to have the front bumper removed to get it off
* Headlamps. This I don't suggest ANYONE do without having a spare set around. We BROKE the first one and had to buy a replacement from eBay. The headlamps are NOT held together with typical silicone sealant. I say this beacause our local car club has done SEVERAL pairs of STOCK cobalt headlamps and have gotten REALLY good at doing the painted headlamp housings. Almost all edges of the headlamp housing on the HHR's headlights are cracked or broken. Sealed back up with a combination superglue, silicone, and something else we had (cant remember the name).:lol: So, the stock headlights are held together with a VERY strong black substance. We tried the oven approach, hot water approach, and even a heat gun. Am I happy with this mod? VERY!!!! Would I do it again?? Not unless the price was right! :D


***I thank my local club Kemikal M Balance especially Richie and Kat without whom NONE of this would have been done. Richie, thanks for being patient and Kat you are a GODDESS with a spray can! :one:

How hard is it to remove the headlight assembly?

You have one of the sickest HHR's I have ever seen keep up the great work. The headlights are very nice. Your car is part of my screen saver.:one:

very nice, love the fogs, they really pop. Az has got the hot HHRs, Ca needs to step up LOL, Todd (Uma)

How hard is it to remove the headlight assembly?

it's not that hard. it's more time consuming. you do have to remove the bumper though. just loosen the front portion of the wheel wells and open the hood, then you'll have access to the bolts. around the lights is just clips.

i do have to say, these were the hardest set of lights yet. but well worth the outcome.

Where did you get those headlights from....i would like a pair!!!!!!

Looking Good, Way to go Bud.

We made them. They are a stock pair taken apart and painted. We may be willing to do more sets for the right price.

I just purchased a set of depot black head lights simular to yours . Not color matched of course. Anyway how tough is removing the headlight assemblys from the car ?

Holy Old thread!

Talk about back from the dead!!!
