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.

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...
