Please show me pictures of your fog lights and where you have them on your car. I would like to try to keep the outside of my car looking as stock as possible.
Thanks!
Happy picture sharing

I really like the way you did your fog lights, especially since the turning signals are still functional. Do you know if the products you use fit in the area where the turning signals are on an 84 Fiero?

The turn signals positions on every Fiero is the same setup. If something works on one car in that area it will work on another, even if you have a bumper pad or aero fascia.

Just remember to differentiate between 'fog' lights and 'driving' lights. They serve 2 diff functions and they have to be mounted where they serve that function. ie/ putting fog lights up high makes them pretty much useless, they need to be as close to the ground as possible (within reason). Driving lights are not as critical. Both also need properly aimed.

I certainly do mean fog lights, and so far I have really been captivated with fierosound's setup

Those do look really sweet! Any chance you have or could take some pics of how they look when they're on? I am really thinking about doing this to my bumperpad, not sure if they would look as cool on it though. I just don't know if it's really worth it since I already have the low profile 90mm's installed. Fogs would be kind of cool to have though.

I've been thinking about driving lights in the grill mouth, but, I am not certain about wiring them.
Here is the reason. I think I should have them "always on" for daytime running lights. Our Province has the daytime lights as a requirement for newer cars, but, I expect it is easier to wire up than using a switch and relay.
Has anybody done this?

I'm using a DLR (Daytime Running Light) module in my setup. I have it wired so that the driving lights get 1/2 power with Park Lights on and full power with High Beams on. It would be simple enough to swap the "park" signal to a Ignition On HOT wire and function as full time Daytime Running Lights.
Running lights and fog lights are usually interchangeable at least on the Zeds I've driven. They also can be mounted right next to or part of the headlight. See the early Z31s for this and the later Z31s for the lower mounted lights. I used them for both driving and fog lights...but I've never really seen a fog light matter much in fog.

On your webpage, http://fierosound.com/moreM...ing/Signal%20Lights, you state... "These lights are "twin lamp driving/fog lamps". What I did was dismantle the lamp, and replace the bulb in the smaller side with a 194 socket and amber bulb. I bought these lights at WalMart in Canada (Magnum X-treme Custom Dual PN# 20-335 / Superex Canada Ltd, Toronto, Ontario). In this picture, you can see that the outer side retains the halogen bulb, the inner half has the amber signal bulb installed."
So can you toggle your lights between driving and fog? Do you have a switch or button inside the car that allows you to change them? If so, can you provide a pic?

Nope - not the way I've modified it - reread what it says.
You can use it that way "out of the box", but you probably won't be mounting in the stock signal light area.

You may not want to use driving lights as daytime running lights. Properly aimed, they will shine in oncoming peoples eyes since there is no 'low beam'. Doing a setup like he did reducing voltage would be fine. And check with local laws too. In ohio, its illegal to run with fog lights on UNLESS there are fog conditions present. They do ticket you.

I found them in a car shop...they are twin 55mm spot/floods, 65 watts apiece. I mounted them on the supplied brackets, and wired them through 2 relays, and two switches, so they could be used with main beam, or just to flash them as a signal...because you can't use Fiero headlights to flash people Nick My wiring diagram

Thats a good idea Fetish. I know in Europe you flash your lights to indicate your going to pass. State laws vary here. In Ohio, they can ticket you for flashing your headlites....they call it aggressive driving...and you can even get points for it. Ya, Nazis run the place, lol.
