Amazing work Fieromaniac, only minor issue is the alignment of the LEDs. Are they glued in already?

i used hot glue to fix them a little and for better allignment
i tried to allign them when not online but its very hard so i allign them now and fix their position than. (using a hair dryer)

maybe i need to modify the heads of the LED too as you see in the pic from directly infront they are really bright in centre maybe too bright.

Could you post a picture of the back with the soldered together? I want to see how you have that organized. It looks like it may be hard keeping it from turning into a giant mess of solder.

Great thread! Plus for you! Keep up the good work. Definitely something I wouldn't mind trying some day.

i call it chaotic/creative soldering lol







6 red LED in a row + 75 Ohm resistor , or 5 LED in a Row + 180Ohm or 4 White LED + 22Ohm Resistor .with safetyzone calculated
I think i will put an transistor cirquit in front of each line to prevent powerspikes ... or not because massive powerspike would blast the transistor first and then the rest so dont know yet.

My best advice when it comes to your Fiero is to "NOT" do any dealings with www.kitcarman.com

sure , ill do a vid when its installed
i have to change the turnlight relays because i change the other turnlights to LED too and the original Fiero turnlightsystem is a resistor based system .
LED have a very small resistor compared to a set of normal lamps so i guess if i fit the LED taillight panel to the original relay that they will blink veeeery fast or they dont blink.

If I understand this correctly, you could do any lighting pattern you want. Could you do Audi R8 style taillights? (rectangles)
