What Did You Do To Your HHR Today?
Today, I go out to see why the passenger side headlight is not lighting up, squirrels? Loose ground? Cheap EBay led bulbs?
Stay tuned!
Then this afternoon Sweetie starts round 4 of chemotherapy, so a trip to the hospital for her appointment.

My best to your wife on round 4 of the Chemo. Prayers for her!
Bummer about your new headlight bulb not working ! Will look out for the update !
Long thought to write or not to write, all the same car forum.
I decided that I would write very briefly without emotion:
I came home from work, turned on the TV, there was a TV broadcast of a meeting of the Russian Security Council, which in itself is very unusual (as if a meeting of the heads of intelligence and the Pentagon was broadcast on your television).
In short, Russia recognizes the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. The meeting is still ongoing, no decision has been made. But it looks like everything has already been decided.
In a couple of hours, your media will tell you on TV, of course in a negative way.
Moderator, if the message is not legal - delete it.

Sorry you’re in a predicament beyond your control, geg. We’ll leave this one up, and hopefully the super powers will resolve the issues.
I just got in from inspection of the led bulb, the pins are loose in the connector, they appear to be bent then pushed back thru , when first connected, thankfully, I have a spare set here in the garage, new bulb installed, I’ll repin the other one later.

seems to be a logical step, but... how will they behave? I have experience in operating standard lamps made in China - the experience is negative, it do not last long.
I'm afraid to pay more and get a disastrous result. I'm even more afraid that the lamp will heat up and melt the headlight housing.
Well, I do not believe in the quality of Chinese products, although they are evolving quite quickly.
Russian manufacturers also make led-bulbs, but ... in Chinese factories with Chinese hands.

LED’s vary wildly in quality and effectiveness. There’s little reason to think a headlamp assembly designed for an incandescent lamp will cast a anything like the same beam with an LED lamp, and what you get will vary with the emitter arrangement. Still fun to play with, but the standard bulbs last long enough..

I bought the LED because the old Sylvania’s kept burning out every 4 to 6 months!
The LED’s produce a great light pattern and much brighter elimination. And for $12.00 CDN , a much better price.
The bulb works, I just need to repin the connector
