Cool Project 91 s15 emergency response

I bought a 1991 GMC Jimmy S15 back in Feb, and finialy got it through inspection, licensed it as emergency service vehicle, received permits for amber/red/white lights.



my plans are .. new paint job, new rims/tires, new stereo system. and minor work.


I have a bunch more work to do here is a short vid with what i have done so far with equipment.

Nice job, not obnoxious on the lights like all the cops in my area. Also, I would never expect a Blazer to be a ems. I was also wondering with the HID conversion did you just buy the kit and did you have to do anything to get it to work? I've been looking at buying one myself because the stock enclosed headlights suck at night.

The HID conversion I did includes, Glass H4 conversion headlamp enclosure,
BiXenon HID kit includes the Ballasts blubs & plug n play harness. I had to cut out the stock headlight holder in the back to accommodate the 2 1/2 inch rubber grommet that seals the back of the headlight assembly.

every thing is very simple to do with minor modification.

I have the 8000k bixenon kit from ebay about 165$ USD.

pix coming soon soon.

I like the look of it all, the only thing i'd try to change is to put the radios in a custom center so they're no all out there but... thats me being me, great job on it all

I would have loved to do that however what is preventing me is the 4x4 stick shifter on the floor behind the radio's and i dont have a split seat, i have a center armrest and the seat is not open in the middle.

I will get some pix from inside to show you what i mean, I do have a center console that i removed from a crown vic, and my Excursion has a center console.

I started sanding and painting the rusted areas for now until this summer when I plan on getting a new paint job, I went to the bone yard today, found a 91 caprice with this light mounted to the pillar.

Its now mounted on my pillar.
