Awesome! Thanks for the compliments guys. If any of you have done retros too, I wouldn't mind having you post them in this thread as well. I would like to see more ppl doing these projector mods to their HHR's.

I know you're planning to use amber LED's as your turn signals, but if you really want to keep the cool blue/projector look for all the forward facing lights you can go with white turn signal LED's. There's a loophole in the California Vehicle Code that would allow it....

"Section 24953. (a) Any turn signal system used to give a signal of intention to turn right or left shall project a flashing White or Amber light visible to the front and a flashing red or amber light visible to the rear."

Or, you can do like I am and use the switch back, white/amber string.

The only problem I see with the switchback LED strip is the fact that it is not very bright in daylight. That was what made me decide to make my own custom board. I am planning on putting 4 Nichia White LEDs in the 4 corners of the Panamera shroud, just like how the factory DRLs are on them!

Looks good! I started to do that but one retro fit was enough for me.
