A quick and easy guide to replace the headlight bulb on a Chevy HHR. No jackstands or wheel removal necessary.No jackstands or wheel removal necessary. A quick and easy guide to replace the headlight bulb on a Chevy HHR. Depending on which bulb is being replaced, turn the wheel inward towards the wheel well. In this case, I am replacing the driver's side bulb, so the wheel is turned to the right. There is a 7mm bolt and 2 snap clips to remove on the wheel well cover which will gain you access to the headlight bulb. Use the flathead screwdriver or small pry bar to gently pull the clips out. Careful not to damage the clips as they will be reused. With the bolt and 2 clips removed, you can now gently pull back the wheel well cover and reach your hand to the bulb. Give the back of the bulb socket a clockwise turn and pull back to remove it from the back of the housing. You can see in the pic the bulb has been removed from the housing. Gently pull the socket/bulb out from the cover to replace bulb.

Pull the burnt out bulb straight out from the harness. Using care NOT TO TOUCH the glass on the new bulb, plug it back into the harness. Pull back the wheel well flap and guide the bulb back into the back of the headlight housing using care as to not bang around or hit the bulb glass. Be sure to line up the tabs of the bulb socket to the housing so it sits flush. Give the socket a clockwise turn to lock it back into position. Replace the 7mm bolt and 2 snap clips back into their respective locations. The Basics Behind Headlight Bulb Replacement Services at Tom's Tire Automotive Service CenterHeadlight bulbs provide visibility for drivers and alert both pedestrians and other motorists to a vehicle’s presence. Bulbs are primarily composed of glass, a low pressure inert gas, a filament, and wires. Using the electricity provided by a vehicle’s charging system, bulbs produce a strong, steady light. A motorist can alter the bulb’s level of brightness to a low or high beam setting.

Motorists tend to use low beams at night or during periods of inclement weather. In contrast, drivers generally use high beams at night when it is especially dark and other sources of lights are unavailable. When bulbs produce light at the high beam setting they can also cause glare, so drivers should be careful when using high beams around others. Some higher quality bulbs will function at optimal levels for several years. All headlight bulbs will eventually require replacement as their filaments fail from use over time.Why Should You Have Headlight Bulb Replacement Services Performed at Tom's Tire Automotive Service Center?When your lights no longer illuminate the road as brightly as they once did, it might be time to visit us so our service staff can replace your headlight bulbs.

They were no different than the ones I currently have in my Escalade. So I stuck them back for spares. Not much brighter than original lamps. On high beam they flicker....may not last. So far so good. Just have for a few weeks. See and discover other items: car headlightsA while back we asked readers to submit videos of their Chevy HHR problems; specifically, we’d asked for videos where readers were telling us their HHR won’t shut off. A number of readers submitted videos, and we’ve had hundreds of HHR owner comments going off on HHR problems. While there hasn’t to date been an official  recall over at the NHTSA, some of our readers did report receiving a letter from GM stating that they could have their car fixed at no cost—however, it appears not everyone got that letter and the fix depended on what the HHR VIN number. In the meantime, we’ve just received this comment from a woman whose HHR wouldn’t shut off when she pulled in to buy some gas—with an infant in the car, mind you—so she was forced to leave her car running while she fueled up.

What was that about safety at the tank that we’re always told—? Something about NOT leaving the car running… Hmm, guess GM didn’t hear that one… Just went to get gas and couldn’t get the key to move or engine to turn off – had to gas up with it running! As a woman alone with an infant in the car, Thank God for my smart phone and all you folks posting some “quick” fixes to put my mind at ease that I wasn’t the only one! When I got to my inlaws, I was able to pull the fuse for the transmission/engine console and the engine cut off. Key is still stuck so had to pull fuse for lights and disconnect battery cable also. Not happy to hear this isn’t covered under warranties but I am going to try nonetheless. More pissed to be losing the time from work to fix something so ridiculous! I do not have time or patience for this. And just this morning we hear from a senior citizen who’s been put in a bind with Chevy HHR repairs. Read what she has to say: I do not have a video but I have a 2006 Springtime Edition HHR and about 6 weeks ago the key stuck in the ignition and would not shut off all the power and ran down battery so had it towed to Chevrolet Dealer in Vicksburg, MI and it cost $420.

Now tomorrow I have to have it towed again because it would start and stop at stop light so took it to dealer and he put it on the computer and told me it was a short in the brain and estimate is $437.00 Could not decide to pay that much after having the earlier $420 so took it home and now it will not make it out of the driveway. Chevrolet should be ashamed of themselves for having a vehicle with problems like this, I only have 39,000 miles on it. I am a senior citizen with limited income and thought I bought a dependable vehicle but will never buy another Chevrolet. I intend to let Chevrolet know that I do not believe these problems are isolated but there are other people who bought HHR’s with problems much the same as mine and they should be responsible for the repairs. Let us know if you’ve had Chevy HHR problems, and how you’ve fared with GM service (or not).
