are ya still lookin for bravada parts? and urethane cracks really easy when its -30 out, i didnt even know i touched the womans civic and i put a hole in the rear bumper.

picked this up shortly after we were pm'ing back and forth.

and you'll be hard pressed to ever see it get below 10* here, so i don't think that'll ever be an issue. lol

i like that alot better than a full bravada front. if i still had my s10 front i'd go that route.

 

[stepasyd]

just gotta get my ass in gear, and get it painted, and get some billet to mount in it.

eliminating the parklights, gonna run fogs in there, kinda worried about heat, although i hardly ever run them, mostly for looks, the fogs in my old valance were hardly used, mostly just there for looks, to fill up that hole the valance had, kinda the same case with this, i wanna be able to use the light housing, although i wouldn't want to run a parklight in it.

Yeah I would deff NOT put an H3 bulb in those signals. I think they would melt super fast.

But I kinda did something like this with a 94-97 s-10 bumper. Ditched the factory signals and added two sets of cheapo lights. They are metal body and glass lens and run an H3 bulb 55w. Cost like 20-25 a set. Close to perfect fit. The larger one would work well for you I think...

i actually did a trial run one day, and left them on for 5 minutes or so...and they didn't show any ill effects. til i installed both sides, only to find out the passenger side one had blown at some point between taking them out of the old fog housings, and trying to install them in the new bumper housings..

and actually, i think all 94-97's use the same lenses in the bumpers...i was looking at some diamond clear housings on ebay not too long ago, and they were listed for a bravada/blazer, but hell, now that i looked at it, i see you're running a 98 bumper, that looks pretty good.

 

[stepasyd]

got a link to those housings?

 

[beedle4]

Yeah one min...

Its a 94-97 bumper but with 98+ outers welded in since older ones were plastic and flat.

But like I posted in you other thread I now have a 98+ bravada bumper, GMC grille now gutted with billit, and envoy HIDs! Shit is going to paint real soon.

 

[beedle4]

Here they are sold at meijer and walmart by me. Im sure other stores too. Also the one pic show the part# so you should be able to find them online too.

 

[stepasyd]

awesome, thanks, i'll have to look into that for sure. come to think of it, i know our walmart had some lights like that, probably just a matter of getting them to fit inside the reinforcement.

and nice work on the bumper, i took a triple take, trying to figure out what was done to it, figured you musta just made the buckets for the lights to recess into the 98+, although i noticed it looked like some bodywork had been done to the right of the light, in that closeup pic.

 

[beedle4]

Yeah haha I never did the filler/smoothing yet, and now its changing so I dont care lol.

Best of luck with whatever you can get to work.
