Has anyone found LEDs that fit the Fiero tail lights.
I have tried a few but all of them do not fit the fiero sockets .
I have seen a number of posts that mention getting LEDs from Top Line Group, but their website does not seem to be working anymore.
Any other ideas?

They "moved" yet again to a new site to sell illegal LEDs to new fools.
Only Legal LEDs are some headlights like Truck-lite units costing over $200 each "bulb."

Sylvania and others even pushes illegal LEDs by labeling as "Off Road Use Only" knowing most buyers have no clue.

Even ignoring illegal, Most taillight etc are from China and won't last.
Plus many LEDs need air to cool or won't last long for some fixtures like side markers because they overheat.

Faster brighter bulbs use 2357 standard bulbs and electronic flasher cans available anywhere. Likely 2357 barely legal to illegal in a Fiero but cops etc won't bother.

I just got mine from Amazon. Just need to make sure you get the correct bulb is all and modify the housing some. This was for my fastback lights though. Not sure if the notch is different.

Jack,

Glad you posted that, I had forgotten I had to do this to make mine fit as well. Was not difficult at all. More annoying than anything else.

I am using LED tail lights in several vehicles and acquired the LEDs form West Coast Cougar Classic. I did have to do some light sanding inside the Fiero socket to get the bulbs in place but they work well if you have the appropriate LED capable flasher unit.
