Well, it is unfortunate that the writer purchased a Fiero that was woefully inadequate for him, then got rid of the Fiero for that reason.  Had he purchased at least the 2.8, he would have been much happier with his purchase.

What are those lights below the rear bumperpads?

Those lights will be reversing lights, required by law.

I have mine converted in the lenses.  Fog light also required by law, I have dual purpose built into the high level brake light.

Hmmm.  Didn't have those in Germany.

Your high brake light has a fog light?

How about youur running lights in front?

Yes switch on dash puts high level brake light permanently on to act as fog light.

Front has ticken tockens and side lights.

The article didn't really tell us much.

True, the article didn't say much, but it was a new article about a Pontiac Fiero in a non-Fiero oriented publication. 

I find that significant, oh and the 16V 4-cylinder rated at 190HP.

Always thought a high-output four-banger was the way to go since, as far as I know, V-8 conversions still use the stock gas tank.
