After the accident, this is what resulted.

Same ol' 95-97 blazer lights with a nasty plastic aftermarket grill. For months I would spend my time looking at the beautiful pics posted on here. So after saving up for months and finding the right parts, I finally got the conversion done

Six hours in Arizona's 100+ weather in no shade and a sun burn later and she's done! Amazing 98+ front end with beautiful headlights with projectors, ready for the HIDs coming in next week. I'd like to thank everyone for their help, reading through the forums gave me the knowledge to doing this myself.

I like the extra set of turn signals. Do they all work together?

As of now they are just remnants of the old blaze, but I will either a) fiberglass and paint them black to match, b) install some turn signals and splice them into the existing wiring, c) tint them black and install a white led again splicing into the wiring, or d) making a row of leds blink in synchronization. Have decided yet

The fender is bent out of shape, and I wouldn't trust myself painting so it's staying that way until I save up enough to have the whole car redone.

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I have the same headlights and I just kept adjusting them until they were flush with the rest of the front,although it does look like they're aimed a little low when driving.

Idiot was going 50 in the turning lane half a mile before the intersection. Traffic blocked my view so thankfully I went slow or else I would've gotten hit right on my door. The damage is pretty severe. I'll need a new bumper, fender, hood, and not sure if anything got damaged under the hood. This will be the last money spend on the blazer. I'm not going to put anymore into it
