Hello everyone!

Just joined the forum and glad to see so many Chevy enthusiasts. We just purchased our 2007 HHR 2LT (sport red; shiny chrome) in August '06 and couldn't be happier (pics coming soon).

My questions concern LED light bulb replacements. In my experience with my 1999 Saturn SL1, I placed LEDs in the tail lights and burned up a couple fuses within 2 blocks of driving. To my recollection, they did not have load resistors and considering that Saturn was basic transportation, it did not have a flasher equipped to deal with low load resistance of LED lights. If I were to replace the factory bulbs (model for model) with the correct LED light (or cluster), do I need to purchase and install a new flasher and / or a load resistor??

Is there a certain type or name brand of LED that is suggested for HHR? I've seen some products on amazon.com and superbriteled.com, but I don't want to purchase the lights if they're going to blow my fuses.

Thanks for your insights!

 

You can always check with our Supporting Vendors. I know SoCal HHR's sells a tail light kit that includes resisitors for a good price. Check'em out.

there are lots of LED out there most if not all will need resistors. spiderlites are real cool, a bit high on price.
socal has them. do a search on this site or go to vendors
