What kinda of blazer we talkin about?

2nd gen - factory headlight switch panel is what I'm gonna do. Unless you have factory fogs then the fog button is in the way.

well depends on if your 4 wheel drive or not. i have a 2wd so there is a nice place to put it where the 4wd switch would normally be. ive been planning on doin that myself

ive tried 2 different spots. the first one was below and to the right of the steering column. it was the junky swithc that came with the fog lights and started to melt on me. so i wired in a new one where the headlight switch is and it looks alot better than the first spot.

Kennybopaloo, Put your vehicle information in your signature and attach it to your posts -OR- setup a 'garage' for your vehicle which will put the information below your screen name like many other people have. This will restrict the number of posts where people have to ask you for your information. Do this NOW!!
