Default 2001 chevy blazer projector headlights + conversion kit

Alright I'm looking to get dual angel eye projector headlights found the ones I like but just stumped on what conversion kit i need. I'm new to this just trying to make sure I get the right parts.

Heres the conversion kit.

There are multiple threads on this. Those housings you linked to are not made for HID bulbs. Putting HID bulbs in those is dangerous and illegal.

to do it right you would have to retrofit HID projectors into a headlight housing.
The best place to get the projectors is https://www.theretrofitsource.com/co...rojectors.html

and a good source to learn about how to do it is www.hidplanet.com

Alright is h1 the socket/bulb size what the description of the headlights says its supposed to be led not hid. Just needs a hid/xenon conversion kit to power them.

The description of the headlights is describing the 3 white LED driving lights.

The rest of it says "Includes Wire Harness To Connect To Your Stock Setup. Come With Free Halogen Bulb ( High: H1 Low: H1 )" Because the headlight housings are designed for halogen bulbs, like I said in the first place.


If you actually want HIDs in your vehicle, the ONLY legal way to do it is from the 2 links that I linked you, and opening the housing and mounting real HID projectors in them.

*Whispers* "That really isn't legal either..."

However, I will agree that the way explained above is the best way to upgrade your lights. You can install a HID kit into the halogen projectors, but I've seen melted reflectors in person and it doesn't fill me with much confidence that they'll last long, or not catch fire.

If it were me, and you don't want to do the retro. Just get the halogen projectors, and leave halogen bulbs in them. Easiest and cheapest option.

Well true, still illegal even retrofitting projectors.. but "less" illegal.. and a hell of a lot less dangerous too.

my buddy had an s10 with halogen projectors like that in his truck and put HIDs in it and I have never seen something throw light in so many different directions before.

I didn't notice it said that it worked for the stock setup, never planned to use HID, hate the damn things cause i get blinded by people that use them. Anyway I ordered some different headlights I think they look good I'm happy with them, what's a good site to upload pictures on.

I use Photo and image hosting, free photo galleries, photo editing as well. Real simple to use.
Once you upload the photo you can copy the direct link they give you to the image and insert it as an image on here by clicking that little mountain with the yellow background icon above the reply area.
