I just took off the whole grille and painted it. Need to repaint it. The clear coat I used killed it, and I need to wait longer before touching it next time. Oh well, job for another season.

You can probably buy them off eBay though. The black Xtreme's came with a black grille.

I haven't stopped working on the Blazer, just most isn't worthy of posting!

Got a white LED dome light. You can see the rear dome light in the back. The LED gives off a crazy amount of light compared to incandescent. Hate that yellow glow.



Got my blue floor lights too. They are pretty bright too. I don't lose any visibility thanks to the dome light.



I also got white LED's for the license plate lights. I hate the yellow glow of incandescent!

I still need a white LED for the rear dome and some blue LEDs for the HVAC.

My replacement tail lights should be here soon since the other ones melted.

Edit: Holy man! I just noticed that even the picture of the dome light is blinding!!

The one side completely collapsed from being melted, in turn wrecking the bulb, in turn giving me hyper-signal. I was going to install some LED's and a flasher again (Sigh), but they wrecked way faster than expected.

I sent an angry email today. I will be very unhappy if they do not send a replacement set of tail lights. These are about a month and a half old.

Did you hear back from them?! i never did...
Im pissed... i cant believe they are such poor quality!

They did get back to me. They agreed to replace them for the $55 shipping fee, which is actually a rip off, but if I turned that down I would have nothing.

I think the quality is okay, just the design is a complete failure. Every set they sell will melt. These replacement ones would melt if I wasn't going to put LED's in em.

They are addicting aren't they!

So you have all these LED's running off the modified stock flasher? I wonder how it will handle it with incandescent front lights and LED rears.

It works fine, When I first got the leds I ordered red leds for the front by accident. So I had leds in my tails and incandescent front turn sigs.

Ah so that's good! Now if only the tails would get here. I hate the stock ones.

Dear good people of Blazer forum:

Please do not buy the same tail lights I bought. The first set melted and every set will melt unless you get LED bulbs. Which is what I did. I was installing the second set today and had just finished wiring them all up. I went to put the last screw in, and the mounting tab for the screw snapped off.

The quality is junk! Save yourself some pain and don't buy them if you were thinking about it!

I am sorry man.... I know your pain... My blacked out turns were like that, I was putting the second set in, and it went to click like it was snapping in... and two seconds later, pieces were on the floor....
