Be aware that the upper and lower lights are actually shaped differently. You will need to do some modification to get the red lights fitting in the bottom holes.

Nice job!! Your HHR is starting to look really good.

Extra points for creativity and doing it yourself.

Thank you for the heads up "prod", had to do some cutting but I got them in there and they look awesome!

I posted a video also in the Appearance section, look for "Custom LED Tail Lights - Not IPCW"

Again Im very happy with how the project turned out, if you dont mind some sheet metal cutting it wasnt that hard to do. Overall I spent a little over $100 for everything.
