I'm assuming it's the same as a normal retrofit, and I don't see why not.
But 2.5" or 3" lens might look a little off.
Try it.
Foglights...with retro?

LFSoccer2k's DIY might help you out. It's a retro with the ES fogs for a 7th Gen but I'm assuming the Civic/01-02 Accord fog housings are really similar. You might be able to get some ideas for attaching the blazers.
Are you planning on running HIDs in the blazers? I remember reading a while back on HIDP that there were some heating issues with the blazers. Not too sure how they fair now.
You may also want to look into the Matchbox projectors; they are similar in size and are bi-xenon (if you need it). However, I'm not sure if you're down for having the step cut-off for fog use:

thanks for the info and link. i do plan on running HIDs in the blazers, but i did read that the ddm tuning kit in particular had heat issues. that cut off looks real goodLFSoccer2k's DIY might help you out.

Actually, I've been thinking about doing this for a long time now. But as mentioned, there are heat issues with using HIDs in blazers (but I think more issues with using 55W or cheap ebay hid bulbs). And because of that, if I ever decide to do this, I will not retro the blazers into the fog housing, but instead, just use the outer housing and put the blazers there. That way the blazers are exposed and will have more cooling by the air around it.
Anyway, if you do, post up some pics!! GL

When I get to that number on my To Do list, I am looking in to using the morimoto projectors in my CF4 fogs. I already have an HID kit to use as well.

That would definitely make sense. Cheap HID Kits, esp 55W = No bueno. I know the Blazers are made to be exposed to the elements but I still don't like the idea of the lens getting chipped due to rocks, etc.
Sounds good man. The posted cutoff was from a tweaked Matchbox projector. Post up pictures whenever you get them done. I would have considered doing a fog retro a long time ago if I didn't spend $250 on my fog light set-up.
