BOLT ON flush mount light kits for sale. These units use high quality projectors and HID lighting systems so you can finally see again at night in your Fiero!
NO CUTTING, NO FIBERGLASSING, NO DRILLING of your stock equipment so you can return to stock if you need to.
For those who have not seen them, and are interested in the build, take a moment to visit this thread:
This is just the 2 outer lights on, with 3000K (gold) bulbs. The two inner lights provide a much wider angle of illumination because they are pushed forward more.
This is the very nice, uniform light spread with only 2 projectors on (inners), low beam, and 35W bulbs. So basically the lowest light output setting possible:
Here is the area of unlit space in front of the car (extremely minimum compared to all other Fiero flushmount kits)
I will try to get better pictures with a camera that does night shots better.
The price for a set in the group buy will be $410 US + shipping
You would receive:
- 2 lenses (VERY durable, see video below) (laser cut for precision fit)
- 4 projector shrouds [Your choice of the mini gatling gun (chrome) , or mini graphite (smoked clear)]
- Instructions
The kit comes unpainted and you would need to supply your own HID kits and wire them. Do not use 55W HID kits with these projectors! Buy the 35W kits, they are plenty bright especially with 4 lights on.
It's a time consuming process to make these so I really cannot offer to paint them for you, etc. They're not overly difficult to install. If you can turn a wrench you can install them. No modifications of your stock equipment!
So, let us begin the THIRD group buy!
I would like to get at least 5 people in on the group buy for the third round.
To get on the group buy list, I will require a $100 deposit upfront, and then you can pay the rest when the sets are ready to ship out. Turn around time is a couple of weeks (2-3). There is no price mark up on the projector lights and shrouds. You are getting them at cost.
Please PM me with your name, contact information, address, paypal info (I can do online bank transfer too) and please specify which projector shrouds you would like. You can do all 4 the same, or a pair of the mini gatlings + a pair of the clear smoked ones.
Thank you! Please post any questions you may have

Just let me know when you're ready!
Also, we got our first person on the list for this group buy. Let's get the ball rolling and get a few others in on this!
I installed my set of headlights this week and I am very satified with them. I kind of overdid the installation on the electrical end so that I could do some testing with them. I installed industrial relays and three toggle switches on each side to allow me to adjust the modes of operation. So with the toggle switches I can choose to run:
Inner lights on in low with shutters up, on high the outer beams are in high with shutters down. Both sets of lights on in both high and low, with the inners always setup to have the shutters up. Both sets of lights on in both high and low, with both shutters down in high beam mode.
There are some other combinations I could do too, but I figured that this would suffice for my testing purposes. What I found was that for me having only one set of headlights on in low was fine if you use the inner set. The inner set really light up right out in front of the vehicle because of their placement further out in the assembly. Going to high like this was a little disconcerting because you lose that nice light right in front of the vehicle in this mode.
I then went to both sets of headlights on in low beam with the shutters up and in high beam both were on with the outer shutters down and the inner shutters up. This worked really well since you did not lose that nice light right out in-front of the vehicle.
I then switched to both on in low with both shutters up and in high beam both shutters were down. I found I did not lose anything directly out in front of the vehicle and it improved the distance lighting too over the other modes. So I will definitely go with this last setup.
Now that I have figured out what mode I want to run in, I will build a smaller relay unit to operate this way that will mount on the bottom studs that the original lights mounted to.
One thing I would like to note here is that with the terrific cutoff that you get with the shutters, it makes it hard to see the signs along the side of the road. So I would advise anyone doing this to make an extra adjustment to the passenger side outside projector to go more to the right and up slightly to catch the signs.
I just love the look of these lights and they are a major improvement on the original lights. I had already gone to the TLG HID lights with the projector style rectangular bulbs, but they have light and dark shadows and don't come anywhere near what these Embrace lights will do for your vision at night.
so bright, camera can't adjust properly, so the video makes it appear as if they don't light up the road. But take my word for it, this video does not do it justice but I wanted to share anyways.

I tried to take some video as well, but it just doesn't capture how well they light the road. Maybe its just the video but it looks like you might need to aim them a little a higher too.
Sending you a pm

Nice video Shill. I tried to take a video with my cell phone too, but it didn't show up well either. These lights really light up your world at night and should not bother oncoming drivers because of the sharp cutoff from the shutters in low beam. I did a lot of testing with different modes of operation and came to the conclusion that for me running all four lights in low and then shifting to all four beams in high gives the most light and shouldn't bother the oncoming drivers. The only problem I found was that the low beam cutoff was so sharp that you have a hard time reading the signs on the side of the road. To help with this try rotating the passenger side projector ccw as much as possible. That will help get light on the signs.
I have a sheet I made up explaining the testing that I did and a step by step guide with pictures to a diy installation with Ebay lights. I will be giving this to doublec4 for those that want to go this way.

ndering if the rice will be the same even though group buy is gone?
I'll keep the price the same for now.
The biggest challenge for me is trying to guess how much stuff to order in bulk. The Fiero aftermarket is small and the demand for these kinds of things is sporadic at best. I don't want to start tacking on extra costs of having to overstock projectors and other components.
Thanks!
