Question for blazer owners

[Cyg]

I have a few questions for you guys seeing has how I just lumped myself in with you guys and gals..I just got a 05 blazer 2dr 4x4. my questions are as follows


1) where do you get chrome bowties I have looked everywhere in my neighbourhood and on ebay and cannot find them..

2) the clear lenses - the ones from any 98+ S10 will fit on a blazer correct ?

3) in regards to euro tails - if I go that route if it is labeled as fitting a 02 Blazer will it fit a 05 ?

The bowties are generally called "billet" bowties and are actually not really chromed, but rather they are a solid piece of billet aluminum. they just looked chromed

yes, any 98+ clear lens turn signal will fit the front.

for the tails, I believe any 94+ blazer/jimmy/bravada tail will fit. I don't really like the look of euro tails, you may want to consider tinting your stock tails black. there's a thread on that in the body/paint section. basically all you do is sand the DOT numbers off of them and rough up the rest of the tail with sand paper, use spray on tint (they sell nightshades spray tint at jcwhitney.com or a hobby shop will sell cans of RC car tint...they're the same thing basically). for less than $5 and an hour of work your tails will be black but legal since light can be seen through them. looks really good on darker colored s-series trucks and suvs

Another thing I noticed while recently shopping for a grille is that most post they will not fit for "LS" models..now there is no badging on my blazer that states its an LS but I do not want to find out after ebaying a grille its the wrong one, how can I find out if it fits :P

Bottom grill is the LS type.As for tailights get what you like dont let opinions around here sway your decision.I have the black TYC tails on mine.

yea I saw them on ebay, but how can I tell which one fits for me and which doesnt?

I don't have LS badgings on my Blazer..but dont want to ebay a grille and have it not fit.

I think the LS has the bottom lip on the grille that rests on the bumper and the non LS do not. I dont know this for sure though...I've got a Jimmy with a blazer conversion and I used an xtreme grille

Thanks, I will have to look close, I dont think, mine is an LS so that an Xtreme will fit it, where did you get your lights ? are both top and bottom aftermarket.. ? if so where did you get them ?

I like the look of the tinted back lights but I have a Pewter Blazer..sort of light body colour and I am getting all clear lenses on my front end..dunno if the contrast would really look nice..

If you got the grill with the chrome strip touching the hood, then it's the horizontal bars grill. I'm not sure if the LS models on the 2dr Blazer are the same as the pick up LS models (in terms of grills) and most sellers list according to the pickup models.

Post a pic of the truck.

I do not take ownership of it until tuesday but I will take a pic for sure to show you guys so I can a positive answer.

I got my headlights off ebay. You can get clears off ebay or euro clears too. For a pewter truck the blacked out might not look the absolute best, although this is a blazer and your back glass and trim all around the windows is black and can work well with it too. if you go with clears the diamond clears look a little less rice IMO, but its your truck so do what you want with that.

i had clear tails and headlights on my pewter jimmy and think they look better than the darker ones.

[Lowsonoma03]

its 95 - newer for blazers...they changed body styles on the blazers a year after they changed the body style on the pick-ups

[bristol16]

and not all 95+ Envoy/Bravada tails will fit either. they changed those in 2001 i think.
