Dude that is one sweet idea (why do I sound like a surfer dude...man...)

You got some good mods going on your FIero
like the dash http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/065813.html

I think it would look great but the pontiac will not look close to the FB if that's what you're aiming for
Anyway, keep us posted please, Make it happen and sell it!

I moded the tail light all red, and it looks much "cleaner" I'll have to think how to do your PONTIC mod with LEDs

I`ll try to duplicate the PONTIAC from the Fastback Taillights with LED .
the LED i ordered are nearly white or only little red when disengaged so ypu wont see the PONTIAC on the first sight when light is off.

I want to make the modified lense easy to install with no mods needed on the original Cables . Iam thinking about an adapter that fit into the Lamp bulbs

Hey, I see you have yellow/amber lens covers. How did you get those? I was always wondering if I could get notchies in Europe. I know Europe doesn't allow red turn signals..

here in Germany there are a lot US Cars with the original red turnsignals
for the amber lense , its only dirty and supposed to be the normal white lense . the rest is the bad light and my camera i guess

How did you get yours apart without damaging them (lense off the housing) i need to pull mine apart to clean them out
Fieromaniac NOV 26, 12:50 AM
you must be veeeeery carefully when you lift up the clips that hold the outer glass to the lamp body
And only do it when the Lamp was longer time in a warm room , i took mine into the house, positioned it infront of the radiator and waited 2 hours.
The Lenses (Red and White parts )came out very easy

Thank god, we are not Europe (not EU anyway ) in Switzerland! So no problem with this here!

I'm thinking about modifying my Fastback turnsignals to make them flash red. I really hate those amber ones...


I really like this idea with the LEDs. so keep us updated on this!

Hey guys,

I did some research into this type of mod as well. I haven't got all my parts yet but here are a couple of links you might want to look at before you start building:

Resistor Calculator for LEDs

SuperBright LEDs

Enjoy!
