Hello,
I have an 07 HHR and the console flood light has burned out. I cannot find a replacement anywhere and the dealer wants $30 for the "assembly," you can't buy just the bulb. This is the small LED bulb that goes to the rear of the sunroof switches, but before the onstar microphone and shines down on the power window switches at night. Does anyone know of a cheap replacement or where I can get one of these bulbs without spending a fortune?

 

From a "How to" post by captain howdy in 2005....

"It uses a standard 5mm LED. I replaced mine today with a high intensity blue LED. All you have to do is pull down on the little cover in the roof and it will pop off. You will see the little LED holder. Pop it out and the factory white LED is in a little socket. Just pull the factory LED out of the socket, trim the new LEDs leads to match the length of the factory LED, and plug your new LED in the socket. It takes about two minutes."

Head to Radio Shack and they'll fix you up with with a new LED for about $1.99, much cheaper than the dealer.

 

Thanks you very much! Looks like I'll be heading to Radio Shack, then.
