Default front end swap

i have a 97 blazer and have the parts to swap to a 2000 jimmy front end.
im wondering if anyone has a diagram of some sort on how to wire up the headlights, i plan on running an HID kit, so do i still need to wire up the stock wiring to my blazer or just skip it and use the HID kit and splice away.

Thanks for any help.

Do you have sealed beams or composite headlights in your 97 blaze?

I have a 97 with sealed beams and was wondering how to wire up the newer harnesses too. Id likethe 98 and up headlights and I can do the body work but want the stock wiring for them too.

I would say if your going to swap to HIDs just splice the existing harness

take a look at these guys for HID kits ,I bought them there for my bike
prices were good , shipping was a little slow however I ordered around the time of the huge Tsunami so that may have caused some of the delay

Sealed beams have a high beam and low beam in the same plug. The newer ones use high beam and low beam bulbs. You just gotta figure out which wire is high and low then wire that to the correct connector for the new bulbs.

The blinker ya just move from the bumper to the grille.
