Well, no dice. I ordered these, or at least what I thought was those (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SBXXB8M/) , but they are too big for my headlight frame/housing. Short of semi-major surgery, I don't see a simple way to adapt them, so sending them back. Once thing you gotta love about Amazon - no hassle returns!

For others with these oddball size headlights (mine's a '90 Blazer, so possibly adjacent years are similar), these won't work. See pics for size comparisons.
Wait, did no one actually read my post!? I measured things out and explained that these won't work and why they won't work.

I am mystified by this.....
Please explain.

Mystification unintentional. My response was in reply to someone else's post on this thread who stated his son had successfully used those. I had said I was going to try the Amazon units he recommended, so my reply was to say that I did... and they failed. Was just closing the loop there.

I want brighter lights for mine too and have the 4 headlights just like this. I drove it home from the shop the other night just as it was getting dark and I can't see $hit with the stock lights. I mean unless I pulled up behind another car I can't tell if they're even on. So no luck with finding lights? Sorry for the one paragraph but if I start a new one it fcks up on me and goes all over the place and I have to erase the post. If I can't find brighter lights I'm gonna have to change grills and headlights because I can't drive it like that at night.

LMC and Hella do sell the projector housings that will fit the 89-91 quad headlights. They wont work for my specific needs as the bulbs aren't waterproof. On my old 91 Burb someone had taken ebay LED's and simply bolted them to the core support. while this worked well enough, there was no way to properly aim the lights. i dont recommend this method.
Maybe these?

Negative. those are 5x7 and won't fit the oddball size of the 88-91 Burb.

Well, I did scour the internet for several days before turning to the forums.

Lmc doesn't make led lights to fit mine. I need this style. 150 mm not 165 mm.











They're out of outer bulbs too. Figures

LMC makes housings that you can trim your headlight buckets (and maybe core support on the high beams) to fit diode dynamics SL1.

I have the LMC housings and trimmed to fit 9012 bulbs for the lows and am using the 9005xs for the high. its a solid upgrade after they are aimed correctly.
