backup light relocation? (Page 1/1)
AL87 SEP 30, 04:16 PM
I was wondering what light bulb housings would fit in the reflector area of the rear bumper, I'm getting a one piece tail light panel
and want to move them. and that seems like a great place.

I'm not certain about the dimensions, but the 2010 Camaro back up lights may fit the bill. I have one stored here so I can take a few measurements later this evening if you'd like.

the rear reflectors measure about 4.5 inches wide and about 1.5 inches high, with a little to spare height wise.
and all fieros use the same ones.

let me know. Also, someone told me they got some housings off an older Cadillac... I want to say 70's era Eldorado?
I don't know I'll take a look, right now and update after.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, the oe housings from this mystery vehicle are rectangular/boxlike, and will sit in the recessed area where the reflectors would go. the lenses are removable via a screws that hold them to the housings.

ALSO, the 70's Eldorado housings look similar, the 80-90's caddies' backup light housings look eerily similar to a fiero's front turn signal housings...

Link to picture of fiero with similar style tail light panel to what I had just purchased.

AND the lens housings in where the reflectors went!

The states don't have much to say about the lighting, reflectors, color, etc. That comes under federal standards. See link below / 1st paragraph.

I have made several sets....just using lights bought from Walmart to Amazon. Machined a housing from black delrin then a lexan lens. The set on my Black 3800SC '88 are my favorite so far.
