Default Sealed beam or Composite headlights...easy question???

I just purchased a 96 S-10 blazer and need to replace my front grill and parking light lens. I've looked online and seen I have 2 choices.....sealed beam or composite? I know I have 2 separate lights on each side (parking light lens and headlight lamp). Can I buy a grill that is made for the one piece headlamp and buy the one piece lights? What exactly is the difference? I found a nice billet grill I want but it said its made for the "composite" style lights. Hmmm....thanks in advance for all the input.

Thats a good question. If I were you I would replace it with the grill that was originally on the truck. I'm fairly certain that the actual ends for the plugs for the headlights are different. One uses lamps, one uses bulbs. Mounting is probably the same, but not sure.
