Yes I did but they are the clear gayzellas that have been tinted on the inside before they were put together Not the smokey lens ones. I've had these apart already looking how hard its gonna be to retrofit LEDs into them.


As for smoke tint I don't care for it so it aint happening. I been running the reds for almost 2 years and the only one I've seen with them in a 4 state radius. Everybody and their momma smokes their lens out.

Sure, just like any other lens we take apart. Are they meant to, no. Give me time I'm busy working on my engine right now but once thats taken care of I'll be back to butchering lights to put LEDs in. My grill lights are still going strong and I've had the front end splashed with some pretty deep water/mud so I guess I waterproofed them well enough.

Hmm I wouldn't think tint film would stand up well against the weather.

What I used is a cast vinyl that has a 6+ year outdoor durability. will hold up pretty well to the elements.

i did it to mine, i used VHT niteshades, i only used not even half a can, but i wasnt into the look got rid of it and bought stock ones again so make sure its exactly what you want, i didnt like the tinted taillights on the pewter tan color truck like mine, but thats my opinion

Now see I think it would fit really well with your truck. The black rims, fenders, bull bar...it would match perfectly!

Off topic, I know, but does anybody make LED tail lights for the Blazer? I have only seen one style of LED's for our trucks, but IMO, I think they look really cheap.

Only ones I've seen were for a 2nd gen and they are the ugly 3d lights.
