I found a guy on e-bay that sells foglights that fit our cars.
I got a set for my 92 Grand Prix and my 88 GTA
They have the same body,wire connector,etc.
GM used them on a wide range of vehicles.
You'll have to reuse your factory brackets but it's a easy swap.
I got mine for $35.00+$7.00 shipping a pair.
The sellers name is partzway
Look up auction number 2466993997.Thats a pair he's selling now and nobody has bid on them yet.

Hate to tell ya this but Wally World sells the blazer driving lights for $17.96 + tax and it's a direct replacement (of course with using the factory brackets)

I've seen them,They have plastic bodys, I know my stock ones on both the cars I swapped out had plastic bodys and the ones I got off e-bay are metal.
I guess if $18.00 gets you plastic then you get what you pay for.
No Thanks

Actually, the blazer lights I had bough had metal bodies... Didn't wind up using them though. I just popped my stock lense off, pulled out the coroded reflective bucket, and replaced it with new.

Didn't mean to **** you off, just giving some info for others who read this thread. I know I like to save money...

Yep, that is exactly what I did, It made it look so much better since I was missing a lense and the other was cracked.

EDIT: The lights I got though was the tractor driving lights and they are bright.

Yea, I like to save money to,it leaves money for mods.
You never pi$$ed me off,The ones I looked at ,at Wal-Mart thru the package looked like they had plastic bodys,They we're painted a satin black and the ones I bought off e-bay were gloss black so I figured the plastic ones I took off both my cars came from Wal-Mart.I wish I had known the ones at Wally Word we're metal,I could of saved me some money last summer.
Thanks for the heads up.
