My high beams went out on the driver side so I have to replace the headlamp. How crazy is it that you have to remove the inner fender to replace a headlight bulb?

 

It's the first vehicle I've ever had that required you to take the wheel well apart. I did have a Jeep Cherokee the required me to remove the batthery.....or was that my S-10? BTW -Gambler, what do you mean you centered the HHR and LT? Got a pic to post??

 

That sucks that yoiu have to replace it already.
I'm still waitting for cool blue to come out with bulbs for the HHR.

 

He's referring to this (cool-ass) mod:




What type of bulbs are you using as replacements? If you're staying with halogen, I would recommend some Sylvania Silverstars.

 

Thats the mod i was refering to.

I havnt decided on the bulbs yet. mainly because i dont want to go any brighter, i keep getting flashed as it is.

 

Same here. I even checked the aliment to see if it was out, but they were dead on. GM got bright lights on lots of things on this car.

 

Yea a lot of trouble. I would like to get different lamps, but the plastic pins concern me. When I mounted the rear flaps, I pretty much had to cut the top of those pins off because they wouldn't come out. Fortunately, I had screws that came with the flaps to replace them with. Has anyone had luck getting the pins to come out AND then being able to re-use them?

 

Yes. A 90 degree pick is your friend...

 

They make H13 Silverstars? I keep checking all of the local auto parts stores and can't find them anywhere.

 

You're absolutely right... I have done an HID upgrade, with H13's, and didn't even think to look up whether Sylvania's making SilverStars in H13 yet. I take back what I said earlier, and suggest you wait for SilverStars in H13! LOL
