Here's another mod I did a while back, and actually, this can be done with any Fiero. This is to keep the trunk light off when the back lid is up for a period of time.

VERY carefully, I drilled a small hole in the trunk bracket. That's on the bracket, not that small indentation on the latch thingy itself ("latch" is probably not the right word, its that little "finger" that sticks out to activate/deactivate the light). To determine the right location, I pushed the "finger" into the bracket as I was drilling. The idea is to drill the hole through the bracket, but UNDER the "finger" when its pushed in.



After drilling, I had to use a little sandpaper in-between the bracket so the "finger" would not hang up.

So now, when I want the back lid open, I push the "finger" up with my thumb, like this:



And insert my homemade pin (made from a coat hanger) into the hole I drilled:



You can see from this angle how the pin keeps the "finger" up, thus de-activating the trunk light switch.

If you step away, it looks like this:



Easy and cheap mod...best kind!
