Hey - i have a pair of Chrome APC brand Altezza tails for my 3rd gen 98 blazer (i guess 98 is 3rd gen)

i think these fit on all blazers from 97 to 2003

these suckers were recieved in christmas of 2002 - they were purchased from crutchfield (i got em from there because i knew of apc's track record at that time for defective manufactured tails that had cracks on them - these are actually the 4th pair that i recieved - i had to send back 3 replacements free of charge to me to get ones that were finally free of cracks)

When i recieved - i sealed them with clear caulk - aparatently i missed a spot - about a year after i got em - a small amount of water got in - and cracked the top right corner of the drivers side taillight.

It was a small crack - but water did get in.

I just recently purchased a set of replacement taillights because the apc ones were chrome - and chrome didn't look right on my dark red blazer (in my opinion) - so i got some carbon fiber taillights.

When i got the CF tails - i put some high end lexan crystal clear caulk to seal them suckers up.

when i got the tails done for my blaze and put them in. I then did some caulking on the taillight that was cracked - by smashing it into the crack then peeling off the dried stuff off the top so you can't see the caulk other then that is in the crack.

i can not guarentee that it is 100% water tight - but it is still pretty good.

The crack is only about a half an inch long - and its not that bad - i can get better photo's of the crack if you want.

other than that - the two are in pretty good shape.

a lil dusty - but good for some cheap taillights.

Contact me on here with a price.

As a side note - i have been trying to get a payment from this one guy up in canada - the deal has been going through for quite a while - his original money order was lost - and he sent another one - if in fact i don't get it this time - i will be selling it to whomever is interested on here (don't get your hopes up - but just a small update on the status of these tails)

I believe the 3rd gen refers to Colorado, Trailblazer, Canyon, etc. It doesnt refer to the grille change from 97 to 98. You only get a generation change when the body style changes such as 94 to 95 and when they changed to the trailblazer eliminating the s-series line in 04. So 96blazin would be right in saying that there are only 2 s-series generations, and those tailights will only fit on 2nd gens.

can someone tell me how to quote??:confused: ................


lucky, thanks for the info i'm just passing on what i got when i posted pics of my 99 and called it a 2nd gen..............however whenever someone says 3rd gen i gaurentee the first thing that comes to mind for most is the grille change from 97 to 98 if they weren't aware that that was the year it changed.

Never thought of it like that, Ive always knew that there were only two generations of s-series but I have heard people refer to canyon, colorados, etc. as third gens because they basically replaced the s-series, but thats the only use of the term 3rd gen that I know of.
BTW, took me the longest time to figure out how to quote too:bigthumb:
