schardein Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 There is a thread here on CC about using these lights. I picked up 5 at the local PnP last year. Finally got around to installing them. I had to remove the b pillars (not a quick job) and enlarge the mounting holes slightly with a dremel (about 1/8" longer, 1/16" wider). Then I cut off the old connector and soldered/heatshrinked the new connectors on. Pictures show the finished product. I think they look as good as factory, but that's subjective I guess. The lights have a rocker switch so the lights can come on with the doors or be turned on at the light. Turning on one switch turns on both lights. I guess this is how the factory ones work, but that function never worked on mine. The only thing I would like to do is someday paint the black portion of the housing to match my maroon interior, and mask off the rocker switch so the rocker stays black.

schardein Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 I know this isn't the DIY area, but I thought I'd post some pics of my latest work. I bought a can of SEM Color Coat in burgundy (#15063). If you haven't used it, this stuff is incredible for painting interior plastics. I used it to repaint the interior in my 79 Blazer (camel). I painted half the console and the color match was so close the only way I could tell the difference is one side had no chips! Anyway, I painted up my S10 Blazer replacement b-pillar lights. I masked off the rocker switch so it remained black. I think the color is ever so slightly to red, but not enough to notice. This is not a low-buck mod, the paint was $15 from Amazon!

Minuit Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 That looks awesome! I know what I'm doing for the rest of the maroon stuff in the '89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
