ebay. You can get LED light bars on there really cheap...

Here's one example: http://cgi.ebay.ca/30cm-LED-Interior...d=p3911.c0.m14

Check out what else this seller has...they have a massive amount of selection. I'm sure you can find something you're looking for.

i replaced the lights near your feet,the dome light and the light in the hatch with red led lights that fit right in the sockets.sizes for your bulbs are: (courtesy lights)1003, 2112, 2122 (map lights) 194. search for the size along with red led on ebay they are only a couple of dollars.

If you're not just replacing old bulbs (ie wiring in new lights or light bars) then you need some general knowledge of electrical and wiring. I wouldn't even attempt it if you have no idea what you're doing.
If you're doing a straight swap it's literally plug and play. The old bulbs twist out, and the new ones twist in.
Most of the blazers have the bulb and socket all as one piece. If you don't either buy LEDs with new sockets on them, or new empty sockets then you can go the cheap route (what I did) and break the bulbs that are in the sockets and use some needle nose pliers to get out all the glass. This isn't the best route though as it can be un reliable to get the connection points on the lights and the socket right. I have that problem with two of my gauge bulbs right now. The terminals weren't lined up properly so they go off and on.
