Is the HHR the toad or the towing? I don't know why you would need to run wires all over the place. The tail light wiring is easily accessible either in the rear or at the BCM. And, as I pointed out earlier there are wireless options that cost less than wire; might need to add a layer of tin foil to your hat.
