Twist, pull and replace.

Most of the controls need to be soldered with resistors. I put links to sources and full pics of each mod in my build thread if you're looking. 194's will work in the footwells, but the actual bulb has the same base with a larger bulb.

thanks, im assuming you clicked the sig pic and are talking about my bright LED's. they are insanely bright. each bulb is 12 led's on a circuit board. i think they are actually called ULED. ive also got led tail light bulbs, 3rd brake light, map lights, door lights and DRL's. basically almost every bulb has been swapped to LED or HID except the high beams because i never use them lol.
you will also see a few of my other mods in the photobucket.. the throttle body coolant bypass and the hacked airbox, also my headlight eyelids are on there too.

Yeah, those are nice I'm also digging b1heqh54's interior shot. I've been looking at eventually repainting my Blazer and the diamond white is one of the colors I've been kinda looking at.

i hope you have a good paint hookup...its the most expensive factory paint GM uses..
its a Tri-coat paint and apparently its very hard to get the pearl done right, if its too thick or too thin the color changes. i was getting quotes of $300 just to paint my bran new stock grill white.
i eventually found someone who was a friend of a friend that did it for $120, but he said that just the paint cost him a little over 100.
i would love to see a white diamond jimmy though, that would be sick!!!

Yeah, It's a very expensive color but it does look nice. Just something to look at as a future goal for now.
