It took me some time to get them aimed correctly but I did. There is a dark space about 10 feet or so in front of the car so I ended up using some after market turn signal/driving lights to compensate.

The lights are mounted to the original Fiero light mounting studs.
The plastic clear lens cover is held in place by the red colored fiberglass which is mounted to the original hood mounting points. Hope all of that makes sense.
I can take some pics if necessary tomorrow.

Yes the Munson lights..........I experienced the same darkness immediately in front of the car as I believe LT said... (why he bought the driving lights).
They are a beautiful set of lights....well made......easy to install..maybe I didn't tinker long enough aligning them.
good instructions.plug and play.

Sorry......no.
I will give it one more shot with LT1's idea.
They really are nice.
Have also thought of using a small soup can (well they used a can of some kind for the air filter} and rig up somethong that would attach directly to the headlight door.
The flushmounts are great looking as you always have the sleek look though I wonder how they would be in our snowy climate.
I know ....I know.we don't drive them in the winter.

Only one bulb is on when the parking lights are on. When the turn signal is on, then one bulb blinks and the other stays on.
After installing the lights, both LH and RH were pointing up. It took several attempts adjusting/driving to get them right.

EDIT to say that they were $55.00 for both.

I had a setup similar and set up the signallight as a daytime driving light/signal light. Main issues are the need for a digital flasher and led side marker light to allow the relays and flasher to operate properly.

I now have 2 sets of projector fog lights filling the hole as the ones I had before cracked from rock chips.
These blazer fog projectors appear to put out more light with less power due to the optics. (old were 50 w, new are 37 watt)

1 relay for the second fog light/spot light
3 relays are used to switch the turn signals, as if there were 3 3-way switches.

I normally only have one set on now, as my headlights are now adequate. I have a set of projector HID that are great at night, and the fog just fills in the sides close to the car.

Here is the thread that has some pics of my son installing his:
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/067474.html

It may give you an idea of what they are like. He likes em. We spent a lot of time adjusting them, but we still decided to add some fog lights to his after a few months of driving.

Hey LT188GT any chance you could get some night pics of the lights / driving lights? im looking to do this conversion too since my pass. headlight motor gear is stripped and i like the sleakness and the capability of getting an updated bright light then the old sealed beams!

Even if anyone else have night pictures and pictures of wiring for updating / custom modifications for the signal / driving lights!

Thanks all
