I already did the interior lights and like you said they are great ! , I have a bunch of LED 194s so I will swap out what I can ! As for headlights I do not want to mess with a resistor ! But tomorrow with a few choice words Ill get the reverse lights changed lol Did that on my truck and like it alot

I think I'll give those a try. Pretty sure this is the same thing, Same pictures and description, same city, "different" seller, slightly cheaper.

Well finally got the reverse light socket out to put in the 921 LEDS :) . Man that drivers side was tight ,the passenger side easy ! Now to get dark out and see how they do on the HHR. Like them on my truck :)

Will take the HHR out tonight and see if my MPG is still at 30 mpg .
Running my Snows at the factory rated 30 PSI
If it stops raining this week Ill vacuum and was interior. A 3 y/o brings in a lot of dirt lol. Look ok but I know there is something hidden lol
Glad I have a Bissel Hot water extractor :) come in handy for a lot of stuff
Have a good day and Thanks for the input about the radio and speakers

You did test to see you installed those 921’s correctly? If they don’t work remove and flip the bulb.

Yup I folded down the back seat and left the lights exposed. Then started the car and tested. My neck is no long enough to look at the back of the HHR lol
I believe these Lasfit LEDs were not polarity driven ,
My 194s were polarity sensitive

Tinted marker lights

The orange marker lights were bugging me for some reason today. Was in the auto parts store on something else so I picked up a $10 roll and had at it. It was 35% tint - didn't want to go too dark, just wanted it less orange, especially with the color of my car. Of course had to do the rears. It's actually easier to do them while they're on the car - just be careful when trimming.
