I have a question to see if anyone else has run in to this issue. The first thing I did upon acquiring my HHR was to upgrade my headlights to LED bulbs. They are much brighter than the standard halogen bulbs, hands down.
Now the question is..... has anyone else run in to the issue of the bright light not projecting out?
With mine, the first set of bulbs were a square light, meaning the LEDs were in a square pattern, three LEDs on four sides.
The light when on the brightness mode projects sideways but not out frontways. With this I decided to "upgrade" again to a six sided bulb, thinking well maybe it'll go bigger this time.
Well, the new ones did the same thing, sideways not outward.
I am going to guess that it has something to do with the reflector for the bulb.
Has anyone else run across this issue, and found a solution?
My first guess is to change/upgrade the assembly. But that can get expensive. I've found them anywhere from $50+. It may be a thing where I'll have to contact a vendor of the assembly to see if they are projector style or factory.
But anyway I wanted to see if anyone else has run across this.
Thanks

The bulb should light up with the low beam LEDs pointing straight up. You should be able to adjust them, depending on brand. There should be a how to video on YouTube.

 

You can see here how the bulb is positioned, these are 6 sided led bulbs
