I've also been trying to determine a way to do this. I'm tall and hate having to lean over to see the stop light.....
Short of having the bar that runs side to side under the back of the seat cut, notched and welded I don't know what to do. And then I'm not sure about the front either.
It'll be interesting to see what others may have come up with.

I have the light-n-sight installed on both of my HHRs and they are great!

I use the light-in-sight also.
But, if the seat were lowered another 2", I'm 6'2", the humongous on-star mirror would not be as major an issue as it is right now.
At 4-way stops, I have missed cars to the right making left turns right at me. It is only a matter of time for a major oops/fender bender.
You can only move the mirror up so far, and that is way not enough.
Give me 2" lower on the front seat and I won't need the light-in-sight and would probably see into intersections much better also.
I just can't drive with the seat back leaning back, I have to sit up-right. My ex and her kids learned to drive while leaning back and I just can't see how they do it, especially with a clutch to work with.
