has anyone installed projector headlights on a '95-'97 blazer? are they better for night driving than the OE style lights? my truck has sylvania xtravision headlights right now, and the light quality is still very poor. i'm looking for better headlights that actually light up the road and ditches when i'm driving at night.

Projectors do have a wider angle of light, usually...

I'd reccomend a set that has a projector for the lows, and a separate bulb/reflector housing for the highs...

are there dual bulb setups for the '95-'97 trucks? remember, these are sealed beam headlights.

the other thing i had looked into was relaying the headlights, but i never got around to doing it before i stopped driving the truck (gas is too expensive). i'm going to be giving the truck to my mother (her '94 jimmy is long overdue for a one-way trip to the junkyard) and i'd like to fix the pathetic headlights before she takes it.
