Re: 97 Blazer Front end conversion.
You've got the main stuff... Yes, your existing composite pigtails will be fine with no rewiring for the 98+ lights. You may want to consider the 98+ front bumper and valance to top it off. I did the conversion using my old bumper and valance and was never 100% satisfied with it, fortunatly some pulled a hit and run on me and made the upgrade decision for me..LOL..

Re: 97 Blazer Front end conversion.

Not real hard.... Remove both fenders (best way) Remove the front body bushing bolts. Remove radiator. Swing condensor up out of the way, pull core support. My 1st time took me about 3 hours to do the entire swap.

Re: 97 Blazer Front end conversion.
Well no, there are 2 L shaped clips that go over the 2 top squares (on each side) that hold it in. The 2 long bottom tabs rest in the holes on the core support
You might also consider not using the crappy fluted glass of the OEM lights and go with these... (Fully DOT approved)

Re: 97 Blazer Front end conversion.
Have you found the newer headlights to be more powerfull than the old 97's? I hate driving at night in mine (my wifes 01 outback lights up the road great). Do you think I can get the stuff needed for the conversion out of the junk yard? Thanks alot.

Re: 97 Blazer Front end conversion.
My TYC's (pictured above) are much better than the 95-97 composite or the 98-current composite.... No fluted lenses on the TYC!
