We are sold out and will not be making them any more. There may be a blem or two available in a few months. They may also be for sale on eBay but they will cost a lot more. Good luck.

Thanks, Keith. I bought 5 sets, so I’m ok. We have friends who might be interested in getting a Fiero, so I just wanted to know if they were available if needed.

I've had these replacement lenses for a while and just getting the time to install. I'm not the first to post these, but wanted to share Before and After PIX.

After:

While I had the taillight assemblies apart I recoated the reflective back panel. Between that and the new lenses...What a difference!!!
I want to thank Keith Goodyear and "Belly Acre Studios" for getting these much needed taillight lenses to the Fiero Community.

Bob, how did you "recoat" the reflective part? When I get around to installing mine, I'd like to do this as well. I was just planning on cleaning them (another pair I had apart were somehow really dusty inside).

If you take the taillights apart, there is reflective paint on the inner piece. Go to the autoparts store and just buy reflective spray paint, and paint it until its smooth and shiny.

Whatever silver, "chrome", or metallic paint you use, make sure it's for outdoor use. Too many people buy that "mirror" paint from Krylon and don't realize it falls apart in the elements.

I didn't take any pictures to document the process, but here's the process I used. As Xenoblast mentioned in his reply, the back plate is already coated in a metallic/chrome coating. After taking apart the tail lights, I carefully/lightly scuffed the surface to be painted with a green scour pad to promote adhesion of the new paint.
Then I thoroughly cleaned the back plate both inside and out with Simple Green and water. Then I dried it and finally used a tack cloth on the surface to ensure there were no remaining bits of dust or oil.
Two coats of automotive metallic chrome paint were applied and allowed to dry for 24 hours before reassembling.
Hope this helps.

I also switched to LED lights and LED capable flasher to reduce the heat in the completed tail light.
