Talking New from New york

hello i recently picked up a 1997 Chevy blazer 2dr 4x4 ls. i absolutely love driving it. but the head lights are wimpy. i bought a set of baja off road lights and i need some suggestions on how to go about installing them. i am thinking about mounting them above the license plate in the middle of the grille. ohhhh yeah i forgot to say my truck has a 190,000km on it what can i do to it to insure i make it to 250,000 or more. i had my mechanic look it over and he said it was spotless other than the transfer case and tranny were rebuilt.

Welcome to the forum! I agree about the 95-97 headlights looks whimpy...but there are kits that allow you to swap it out for a 98 or later front end, when they switched to the split headlights.
I'd mount your baja lights on the roof. If you have a roof rack put it on the from cross bar. BTW..got any pics of your ride?

[IMG]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/blazer.jpg[/IMG]here are some pics. they are not very good. it had large rust holes in the typical Chevy quarter panel but that was fixed with magic tiger hair.
