Thumbs up I need help!

Ok so as you all know the 96' front end is different than the 98's and up and the 96's headlight is one piece and the 98's are two piece and the 98's you can actually get aftermarket headlights with halos and projectors and with the 96's i cant find any headlights that have projectors and halos. I wanted to know if i could make a spacer for between the two piece 98' headlights and if they would actually fit on the 96's core support and fit in general. Just an idea and curious.
I really appreciate the input

You could just get a core support out of a 98 and up and put it on your blazer and then you would have the 98 and up front end

95-97 rad supports are all the same. To update to the 98+ headlights, you need almost everything from the rad support forward. I started to modify my '96 rad support to accept the '98+ parts, but it would have way more work than just replacing it. I'd buy a factory one from a junkyard before a jobber one as well. The jobber ones are junk. $.02
