I'd like a set of those, although I guess I should fix my non-functional rear washer before I do anything about the headlamps.

That's kinda funny! Best part is they didn't even modify the center console shifter for this application. They just put a different shift **** on it, but kept the location over on the left hand side of the console!!

That reminds me of something odd. In some large trucks with multispeed transmissions, there is a splitter button on the side of the shift **** that's activated by the thumb. in LHD trucks, it's on the right side of the shift ****. In most RHD trucks, the truck makers have shift ***** with the splitter button on the opposite side for use by the left hand. But I've noticed that Volvo trucks don't have a reversed shift **** in RHD trucks, the splitter button is on the same side. I guess drivers in a RHD Volvo semi-truck have to split the gears with their pinky, lol.

Because of the ECBM, Brake booster & master cylinder, etc that take up all of the space where the HVAC housing, coolant overflow bottle, and PCM were before (which now have to be on the other side as well). Radiator is mirrored as well.

I like the idea of headlight washers myself. I wonder if it can be done as a mod. Just take some from the junkyard, bolt them to the bumper, and run a split washer line. Hahaha, nice clean blazer though. It just seems weird probably since right hand drive.

I'm sure it wouldn't be a hard mod. I don't think headlamp washers are required in the UK but since they builtBlazers for sale in other European countries, they went ahead and included them in all Euro-market Blazers. IIRC, headlamp washing systems are required by law in Scandinavian countries.
