Everyone likes different mods, but I like the stock lights, & chrome rings.

If I swapped for anything, I'd do 1959 Caddy tail lights 'frenched-in' in the oem holes.

 

Ohhh....now you're talking! That would be su-weet!

 

Personally, I think the stock tail lights are one of the best looking things on the car, so it isn't for me. But I think it's neat though.

 

Refresher for all................

Hmmm, i kinda like the 55's, but they'd look better on a retro styled HHR, or even with just a rim change. I try not to knock anyone for their choices in mods, as you can see i got different tastes too .

yeah, wish i woulda just used the stock holes, coulda saved allot of time and money

 

thats sweet man i like it

 

If Monet, Picaso and Di Vinchi were the same, you would have never heard of them. It's all about being a bit differant in your own way .

 

Are you kidding ? Yours turned out Sweet !!!

 

I think they have potential but to install them as show they would look horrible.
it would look like you glued some crap to your nice HHR, it would be just decent looking if you molded them into your car, but if you were to do that you could just buy some patch panels from a 55-57 reshape them then weld them in for much cheaper.
as far a bolt on mod for someone without power tools or knowledge I dont think
this is something you wouldnt regret doing
