I'm not local to you, but the wife's 86Coupe is show-worthy (Thanks 2.5 and wife!)...

I know LEDs extremely well, and can photo document everything if you are up for giving a long distance Fiero relationship a try.

Just curious, what is the LED solution for the headlights? I'm dealing with my lack of visibility at night right now.

Well, with regards to the LED stuff, that's easy enough for me to figure out from my end. If they are LED arrays that replace socketed bulbs, that's just some creative cutting/adhesive to get them in behind lenses.
I'm getting ready to start my Neopixel LED tail light conversion on my GT, and have built a few LED light fixtures from scratch for the Fiero...

I have 90MM headlight buckets for her car, so could fit two lamps per side.

I couldn't give you a ride due to the distance, but everything would be fully documented otherwise.

I understand we have/had vendors for these, and nothing against any of them. I'd like to see how the process works, what they can do, etc. I also think that the Fiero presents a lot of challenges. Maybe they can't/won't do it. I was approached by them.


Sounds good as LED's use less power and last a long time, but allow me to relay a story. A while ago I changed just the trunk lamp to an LED. It shines bright, looks nice and draws little power, so little power that my Excalibur alarm system will not trigger when the trunk is opened with the alarm on. If and only if you have an alarm system consider that a work around may be necessary for some LED's.
