Hey Fellow HHR owners. I Need some suggestions. I orderd a pair of the Black Depo head light for my 08 SS. Now my problem is in the install. I know I need to remove the bumper and all that but I'm not too skilled with my car and I feel like I may do more harm than good. So my question is what should I do? I was considering the local check dealer here but I'm sure they would charge me a arm and a leg. Then I was thinking of a small shop but I'm worried they won't know how to remove the bumper at all and just cause more damage. What should I do? Risk it and do it myself? What do you guys and gals think?

Removing the bumper cover is simple..

 

I asked my body shop they wanted $100 installed if there was no wiring to change on the lights. decisions....

Well that doesn't look that bad. I guess my main concern is messing up the paint or breakin a clip as I remove the bumper. But I suppose its a risk either way

 

What shop would that be? Are they reliable? I see ur southern Cali.

 

It really is pretty easy, but do be careful with the clips. I broke one on mine and the corner juts out just a little bit. Annoys me every time i see it, but I don't want to pay to fix it because surely some a-hole will hit me in a parking lot or something soon anyway.
