Man, I love the look of lights like those on the Fiero. Too bad my g/f doesn't see them that way... She demands I keep the flip ups, but I can get the lower profile ones.

Then again she did say THIS Fiero has to stay close to stock...

Looks good so far, can't wait to see your car painted

She looks happy in the first picture :P

I dig'em. How well do they light up the area? better than stock or what?

They look good, I like them. With that front bumper and headlights, it kinda looks like a happy frog. You need to paint it green!

I like them so much I put them on mine two years ago

Yea those look good. I've had mine for 2 years too but mine have been in a box. Haha. I finally have some time to get the car done and I have an appointment at the paint shop on June 15th.

Looks great with that front end. Good luck with the paint. Post up some more pics after the spray.

Nice. I've always wondered what it would like if you moved those kind of headlights down a bit. So, I made a photoshop.


I think it looks really good. It's kinda influenced by the '80s Camaro lights.

I prefer the enclosed look like the Vette C5-R

Im not feelin them but to each his own. i like them recessed into the hood like munsons. I will commend you however on the 355 front end.
That is somthing we can agree on

Not the direction i plan to go, but i do like them.

Good job !

Those are the same lights I used to do mine a few years back. I modded them to be flip ups though.



I have since modded the hood but the lights are the same.

Those won't work due to the curvature of the C5 hood. I have a set for sale $450.

i like them when used as a flip up

a big thing for me i guess is that the fiero has pop up lites
of all the mods people do, the one thing i like the least is non pop up headlites ,... just looks goofy to me

I wonder how the extra drag will affect your 1/4 mile times?

It's hard to tell by the pic you've used, but on this car they look okay, because he went the extra steps in re-tweaking the square piece and rounded the corners.



That said, if the part was equip with a clear plastic cover IMO it would look better or maybe a dual cover for each lens. A cover like Demancheno's #025 is better IMO.

shouldnt effect it any, probably help because the headlight doors wont be flying up at 120, haha. Plus i saved probably 20lbs taking all the old headlight buckets out.

I couldn't agree more.

Hopefully those headlights won't pop out. Hope you have a hood extractor vent is fuctional.

Now regarding the HL... NOT my cup of tea BUT I do like them better the Camaro flush mount headlights.

Ok... I will say it... I don't care for them, sorry.

It's got its own look. Not too bad at all. I don't care for the stock monsters, so I'd run em.

I agree ! Its one of the things that makes a fiero somewhat unique. Every fixed headlight Ive seen on a fiero looks out of place to me.

I like the dual headlight look but would opt to keep the pop-ups. I guess it depends on what color you paint the car.

I don't like the look to be honest, can appreciate the effort and work behind them but just something about molded in rounded lights it sort clashes with the straight edge look of the 80's Fiero body lines.

But you never know until it's finished either!

If my car was stock then yes they may look out of place but as you can tell I have the 355 front a roof scoop aus stage 2 sides a mustang decklid scoop and a custom lip spoiler. My car is more exotic than boxy.

i got all the body work done on the hood and got it in primer. Things are finally coming along!

dude that looks pretty cool now you just need to get big run tubes and put them on the back side on the headlight housing and Ram it strait into your turbo LOL jk man looks good can't wait to see it done

I like the last pic with the 1 color for both the lid and the light insert. Very clean.... I have the same mold also for the mr2 but I went Fierokings way and in the process of making them pop up too. I re-fiberglassed them though. I still need to finish them... Got caught up in the engine build that I'm doing right now. I have made a bunch of changes since these pics were taken... All about designing them to fit properly and function. First off, the nose was too long so I cut it back about an inch. Just messin though. It may work or may not.... It's all fun! You've gotta love projects

need more pics !!!

more pics???

Love the look Im currently working on the same mod after seeing 88lambos on line. I would love to see the hood after its been painted.

car is going to the paint shop tomorrow. updates coming soon.

At first I was like, "eh". Like Rich, I prefer pop-ups.

But what you are doing now? That is pretty cool. I thought you were going to keep the bucket, but the molded version is sweet.

SO I have to say, thumbs up on it.

I want to change mine to a too. Looks sleek.

Those headlights look awesome FieroX. Was that a kit? Also I hear your fiero is the fastest on the forum. What swap did you did?
