My HHR did not come with the fog light option. Does anyone know if the harness is already installed at the factory, and would be ready to connect to if I install these lights?

 

My dealer told me it was there, the harness and the connectors but after unwrapping the harness from the headlights to the engine compartment it is not there. The parts guy insists that there is only 1 forward lighting harness for the HHR. However they have never installed factory fogs at the dealership, they sent it out to a local shop who wired them. There is an extensive factory fog light install thread here just try the search feature.

See if this helps.

 

Thanks.....

 

just put my switch in tonite, although im confused because the switch doesnt have a locked position like the hazards do, im worried i got a bad switch, can anyone with the fog lighs let me know does the switch lock down like the hazards switch does or is it just a push button type?

 

The switch does not lock down....it is a momentary switch, and in order for that switch to work correctly you need to get the BCM reprogrammed by the dealer....Regards

 

thanks much rude, i knew i needed to reprogram, just was worried it was a bad switch... woo hoooooo one step closer to havin the spyder lights set up...lol

 

Like your avitar.

 

Ok, this is getting wierd now.

I put on factory fogs a while back, but still had to wire them in. My dealer insisted the wires and connectors were there. As I stated earlier in the thread I looked all over the drivers side and couldn't find anything. So I bought and aftermarket fog light harness off ebay for the HHR. It is well made and comes complete with a lighted switch. It completely by-passes the BCM and the need to have it reflashed.

I went to install the harness today and started on the passenger side, but wait what is this? a wire routed almost straight to the fog light with a plug on the end of it. ???






Could it be???


Not so fast.... Plug vs Bulb


So I stopped in my tracks and am trying to figure this one out.
Are there any GM insiders that could shed some light on the forward lighting harness and adding the fogs at the dealership level? It can't be that hard to do, there must be a service guide to doing it. I know all about the install thread but there has to be an easier way.

 

Looking at that middle photo, I'd guess that's the outside air temp sensor.
