Nice, well when you're all done mocking, I'll take that other set off your hands

How do you plan to fix the broken lens, will you make a replacement lens?  I've been thinking about making replica tail lights since I could 3d print the buckets but I have no way to make the lenses.

I heard someone was working on making some lenses.  I don't plan on using these. 

Bought a new pair back in 2015, and just pulled them out.  They still have the plastic costing on them and a nice harness attached. The cracked pair is nice to have for mocking up the car. 

The new ones will stay in the box until after paint, and god only knows when that could be

So the rear tail lights   

Passenger side -
The PO used a connector that was spliced into the Fiero wiring.  Then made  a decent harness to go to the Lambo tail light. I actually like this set up.   
By why oh why leave the old fiero tail light plugs  , and they still work 

Divers Side -
Lets do something different here this time, Lets not use the nice connector, like on the passenger side.  Lets use some crimp connectors.  But this time we remove all of the fiero tail light plugs     And leave a hot brn wire with insulation removed to short out every now and then  

Still have to clean this up but at least the lights work...

Outstanding work on the headlights!

Thanks Dustin!!
 It has been interesting

The PO used a lot of crimp connectors   Solder and shrink wrap seem better to me over the long haul. 

Wiring for the rear tail lights is in need of a REDO, as the crimp connectors are failing. As you move the rear wiring harness, lights go on and off.  Its crazy!! 

 I wish I had started with an unmolested car, yes this car has been molested!!  every where I see a crimp connector, I will be redoing them.

The HID H3 bulb connectors came in the mail today . 

The Hella Micro DE is the projector that I am using for my fog lights

An aluminum bracket was made to hold the bulb in place, using the existing screws, as the base of the HID bulb is longer than the halogen

Excellent work 

Thanks M-will!!

Excellent work

Both headlights are finally done    They easily go in and out of the car, and the electrics connect and disconnect quickly.

Just need the H3 bulb connectors, Do final test and then store in a safe place   

Pretty happy with how they turned out. A bit of time was spent on these, for sure
