what have you gotten done on your blazer today?
I changed oil & filter and installed the Flaming River U-joint on my Blazer today. It was far easier than replacing the rag joint in my wife's Jimmy. I love how the Blazer drives so far. I only took it out for a short trip as it was late and I was hungry. I'll take it for a longer trip tomorrow and see how I like it.

turns out the truck was totaled. Now we play the waiting game for the insurance company
That's all fine n dandy if you want to get into a pissing contest lol but HID's in stock lenses just don't belong. All they put out is a really bright splash all over the place because the reflector wasn't meant for that shape, design & output of that bulb. I've seen way too much "rice" with them.

I see HIDS everywhere and the only ones that bother me are the ones that people get to be extremely bright (10000k) and up and its just not cool. My headlights are (6000k) and are aimed down so that they dont shine in anybodys face, and you are right about the reflected textured material in my headlights they dont put out the way they should. But all in all nobody hi-beams me or gets pissed. Theres alot worse around here. I think alot more people should get them. You can see so much better in the dark. I see your not a huge fan of them though.

I took the blazer to the yard today and found some nice 40/60 leather back seats. They still don't have a head rest, but they are in great shape. I think $20 for em will buy em. Good deal? haha.

also, 4-6K are the color least likely to draw attention to you from the cops because they are so close to stock coloring. anything else will give cops something to hassle you with

technically the brightest are the the 3000K but are stupid looking. 10K is very blue, 12K is blue almost purple. I work with HID kits a lot on weekends helping out my cousins shop. He does HID installs, window tinting and vinyl work.

I suppose a LOT depends on the manufacturer or retailer, what they're trying to sell & their rep/quality etc.

Oh, I forgot to post a pic of my brushguard lights when they are on at night. So here we go.
And chances are I will pick up those leather seats and swap out my cloth seats tomorrow at the yard. They have good prices on seats.
