Nice lights. I went the opposite way with mine, thought all clears would go better with brown. But petty's right, depending on where you live, the cops may hassle you a lot. (at least, that's what they do here in Pa)

I'm sanding the reflectors off of my stock tails for my led conversion. I hope I don't have too much trouble...

Yours looks great though.

Lol, I normally have a pretty good luck when it comes to cops in my area. I hope they dont nag on me for my tail lights as it makes the truck look way more attractive in my opinion. I see about 10 blazers a day and nothing makes them stick out in any way. Just trying to be that one blazer people look at when they are stopped at a signal haha. As for now, I am gonna paint the side-mouldings...the chrome part of it and the "Blazer" Black as well, just to see how it turns up. Ill post pics when we are done!

But if you'd followed that link to the google search, and read some of those links, you'll find that the catch is.. no matter how bright the bulbs.. they also serve as reflectors. Thus a safety issue.
{And I dont think they're all that bright}
- dont fret. I knew that and didnt think about it, either. Fortunately mine were tinting covers and I didnt have to replace the lights themselves. Just had to carefully remove the stick-on goo.

You may get by quite a while till you're stopped.
lol, pictures never do any kind of brightness justice imo. And THAT STICK ON GOO is something fierce. I burned through some fingernails and decided just to take it to my bodyshop, have them remove it.

OH, ANOther IDEA: what do you guys think of painting the inside of my rims black, I have the stock rims and wanted to paint the grey areas a nice black, maybe flat, cant decide yet.

Black where gray is will probably look good. Cant tell tho, until you look at entire picture.
Dont go flat.. harder to clean. Semigloss is best.

Looks good man! Nice clean touch!

I got pulled over for my windows being tinted but he didn't say anything about my tail lights oddly enough.

Thanks man! Trying to put the blazer together piece by piece. Heres a pic of the truck from a side view, does not look bad at all, in the next few weeks ill have her lowered 2 inches with custom rims and a decent audio setup.

Heres a pic:



Also, Anyone have any good ideas for a white led light bar for inside the cab? good placements? I am still pondering where to put some at.
