Go to wal mart and look in the auto section, They have a set there for like $15 they will say Blazer on them they are the same size as the stock ones. simply cut the old wires and splice the old wires onto the new ones and youre done

I just saw the white and some other blues ones at the walmart here. I bought the white ones. There should be some other threads on here where they have pics of them installed.

Edit: heres a good thread with pictures https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...azer+foglights

thats mine im pretty happy with them. they are very nice they are probably brighter than my headlights. and i only spent $20 on the aftermarket ones and sold the stock ones for around a $100. so its an appearence mod that i saved a bunch of money on.

GO to Harbor fright tools (if one in your town) and look for fog lights. I bought the same blazer lights there about a week ago for $7.99 on sale. I don't know if they have them online or not but if they do go to slickdeals.net and you can find dicount coupons for there.

There are 2 screws on each side of the stock ones, remove that and pull out the stock ones. Cut the wires for them. Take the new ones out of the housing. Splice the new foglight wires onto the old. use the 2 side retainers that came with the new ones and use them to screw the foglights back in.

i love my foglights...they have a stock look and a clear lense....plus they use a super bright white bulb so they are not dull with the headlights on...the car has a super bright front end when all 6 lights are on
