looks like a photo sensor,some one told me its part of the new system for daytime running lights. my HHR is a canadian one,as we have had daytime running lites yrs in advance of american friends due to federal driving laws.would some one be so kind as to clarify this for me.

It's the light sensor that turns your headlights on.

It's for the auto headlights. It senses the light and determines if it should turn the headlights on or not.
