94 s-10 grille options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

picked up a 94 s-10 but really don't like the sunk in headlights...is there any grilles from newer s-10's that are direct bolt ins to replace this?

You could use the Blazer grille with composite lights from '95-'97. I always liked that look. Or maybe a phantom grille to hide your sealed beams...

If I had a second-gen S10 or S15/Sonoma, I'd want to go with an Envoy front end with a billet insert. I always liked the Envoys because they're factory HIDs.

Ive always liked the Phantom grills on those.

Good luck finding envoy hid's for cheap. Blazer grilles with composite lights bolt in. You do have to alter the headlight wiring to allow for the 2 separate bulbs per side. A 98 and later grille/headlamp setup works too but you need swap headlights, turn signals , grille and alter the wiring too.

I never said they'd be cheap. The Envoy itself was uncommon enough. This many years later, I'm sure the headlights would be extremely hard to come by and far from cheap, not to mention the difficulty in finding a set that's actually still in decent shape.

Well, as far as the expense goes, here is an example. Escalade HID lamp assemblies with the ballast (2002-2006) run about $900 per lamp retail at a dealer. Those are much more common than the envoy hid setup. So for the low production run and age the price is going to be up there.

The look I like best is going for a body colored blazer grille with euro (clear) composite blazer housings.

Again...I neeeever said anything to give anyone the illusion that the Envoy HIDs would be cheap or common.

Leroy-B1 asked a question and I just threw out different options and ideas for him. That's ALL the Envoy HID thing was...just an option for Leroy, or anyone else, to see and maybe even consider. Nobody is holding a gun to their head and telling them to do it.

So, now, just so we're all on the same page here...
Envoy HIDs: NOT cheap.
Envoy HIDs: NOT common.

Ok, class. We can move along now.
