just got done installing a billet Mesh grill insert, while I was at it I installed led strips between the grill gap.

Looks good other than the few lights being out. Like the grille insert a lot!

Just out of curiosity, have you thought of putting an extended LED strip in the gap between the upper and lower grille?

all the leds work lol, but you know those 2 plastic parts that divide it well that's what makes it look like that. I didn't realize that on the left side the strip is a little more to the right so you see the led that's supposed to be behind the plastic part. Yes I did thought about putting a bigger led strip but I already had this laying around.

Oh haha. At first I thought it may have been intentional how they were but seeing that the 2 sides didn't look the same I thought some may have been out already. If I had a silverado I would probably do the same except look for abunch of individual LEDs that I could place in the gap and put switchback LEDs in the gap in the headlights.

 

However your set up looks great!

Thanks, I didn't plan on the leds haha. My main concern was the billet grill install but since I had the grill off the truck I said why not. I'm going to look for other leds that match my putco g3 and install those.

Very nice! Good luck finding some! I looked for some for a similar purpose on my old Yukon but never found any that were meant as more than just interior accent lights.

Specs on those? And your headlight set up?

How do you think those fogs perform? Atleast as useful as stock or no?

I think they are an improvement as it is more light and a white light. Not sure that it makes a huge difference to driving but it looks better. I did install the passenger side and left the driver side stock and lit them both up to compare and it is a noticeable difference in light output. I am upgrading to LED's in the house and finding the same improvements in light output and quality of light.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
