Ebay has plenty of the blacked headlights. Used to be called "Depo" headlights. Now if ya just type in Chevy HHR headlights you will find plenty.

Ok, got the message.

they do make tinted film for lights & headlights, it is flexible & using a heat gun, or hair dryer will get it to conform to the headlights compound curve.

Me, I like to see best I can at night..

Well, a few weeks ago an older lady made a turn right in front of my daughter's HHR.

My daughter stood on the brakes and swerved as far as she could without going into a head-on lane. The damage was minimized and luckily it was a 30mph road, but it still took a hit.

Gads that’s Oldblue! Yikes!! Is your daughter ok?

it looks like just the bumper cover and the inner fender and the hood are damaged!

Today, I started stripping the finish off the 18” Cobalt SS rims, I might just end up painting them.

Yes, its oldblue.

The hood, bumper, and passenger side fender are damaged. Also, the headlight, inner fender, and bumper beam.

The worst part is the unibody frame extension that the bumper beam bolts to is bent and buckled further back. I am hoping to straighten it out enough to attach the bumper beam. I have my old 2006 (that had the deer hit) that is off the road for spare parts. The hood, bumper, fender, headlight, and bumper beam will come from there.

My daughter loves her car and was upset that it got damaged. It looks so far like nobody got hurt. The lady that turned in front of her had a Chevy Equinox that had the airbags go off. Her (other lady's) insurance company is paying for the damage, but the HHR is totalled. I am buying it back for the "salvage value" and hoping to fix it.
