Just be aware that load resistors get really hot. When you do install them, put them somewhere they don't touch anything that will melt such as wires or plastic.
I have never done it in my HHR but did in my GTO. They got so hot that it melted the covering on a wire and caused a short. It was an easy fix with electrical tape though.

Race and Street is a vendor here, you can check her site. The clears look amazing on Black HHR's check out UMA's pictures here. Todd has these lights on his ride as well.

I have the clear LED's on my HHR and ABSOLUTELY LOVE them!!! It was a mod that money was well spent on.

How much was shipping or at least an estimate? I found a set of the bermuda black on ebay cheaper but shipping can make a big difference.

I think the standard shipping rate is $19.95 for the RAS ones.. So roughly $280 there.

Where as I saw on ebay, it would be $249(ish)+$25 for shipping.. Roughly $275.

Personally I would rather buy from a vendor, than ebay, because with ebay, you really never know if you are going to get a lemon...
