It would be a lot easier to install smaller switches under the factory headlight controls (where stock fog light controls would normally be)

Installation was kind of a bitch, but they look OK in my opinion:

Those will most likely be like daytime running light brightness.

Custom Accessories Non-Slip Dash Mat - under $4!!

Tip: I actually purchased 2 mats (One mat is used as instructed, sitting in dash area. Works very well, as advertised), with this idea in mind:


I, like most (assuming..) have that 1 inch or so storage shelf!? sitting right under the single-din aftermarket head unit. Here is a pic just in case:



After noticing that items slid out of the space rather easily, I got the INGENIOUS idea to fix this little issue!!

So, after cutting down one of the mats to size, it fits in there nicely, and there is no need for any type of glue or adhesive as well....

Slip Problem fixed!!

Your Welcome!


I did the same thing! works great.

Forgot about these, even though im not a big fan of anything "chrome", or in this case, "plastic-chrome", but for $7 i decided to take a chance:



Ive decided to part ways with Walmart on my next purchase. Saw these on another Blazer actually, looked pretty damn nice IMO:

I've seen them priced anywhere between $45-95

(The 3 holes were already there when I purchased the vehicle, probably someone mounting a cell phone holder, etc.)

Weeeeeee!!!!! Looks pretty good whatcha think??

I haven't bought anything from Walmart in the automotive section since I had to get a trailer tire in a hurry a couple of years ago. Before that? I can't even remember. When one tends to get a bit of age behind them they don't go for the flash, just for functionality.

Please remove the stick on chrome crap they make any vehicle look cheap and ghetto IMO!! Oh and the tai lights please don't disgrace your blazer with them. To much of the APC look going on for me and that's not a good thing for anyone who remembers American Products Company lol.

In the end it's your vehicle an you can do what you wish but I would spend my money on other things
