Default Headlights

Owning a 98 Jimmy I want to replace the headlights with the diamond edition lights (look like the envoy lights), but they are impossible to find, and no one makes euro style headlights for the jimmy, at least as far as I know.

The question would be can the euro lights for the blazer be adapted to use on the jimmy, without replacing the front clip?

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance

Well considering the Blazer headlights are split into 1 pieces because of the "bowtie bar" the runs the entire front of the grille I doubt it would look good. I'm sure it will fit, but you'll have a large gap in between the headlight and the corner.

I thought of that, but right now anything would be better than these stock headlights, they suck.

Anyone know if the Envoy style lights from the diamond edition are sold anywhere?

Thanks in advance

I'm sure the dealership sells them. Nut up and lay down some cash.

Why don't you like your stockers?

They just are poorly designed, don't throw enough light, and just can't get them to aim right without them looking like they are going to fall off.

From everything I have read the headlights are the most complained about and I totally agree.

I even tried some aftermarket oe replacements with some silverstar bulbs and still not much of an improvement.
