So I've decided to swap the front end of my 1997 blazer to look like the on the 1998 and up models. I already have the rad support, grille, grille clips, and the headlight and turn signals. But before I start I want to know if there is anything else that I need before I begin this process. My '97 Blazer does have the halogen headlights if that helps.

 

Here's a link to a thread about it already!

Halogen headlights? You mean your blazer has composite headlights instead of sealed beams? And it is always easier of a swap from 97 composite to 98+ composite than it is from 97 sealed beam to 98+ composite so you're good there. But you will want to change out the bumper too so you don't have so many turn signals as the 97 has the turn signals integrated into the bumper and the 98+ doesn't. Good luck with your swap! Post some pics after.

 

I do have composite headlights, I get them confused sometimes. But do I have to replace the bumper? Or could I just use the turn signal on the grille of the 98+ models and disconnect the ones from my 97

 

I mean you can use the 97 bumper if you wanted to and disconnect the lights in the bumper. That is all up to you. I see most people switch out the bumpers so you don't have so many turn signals though lol. It is all up to you.

 

Thanks for the advice tibby. So the complete list of what I need are a

*Radiator support
*Headlights
*Turn signals
*Grille
*Grille clips
*Headlight assembly
