Been thinking on this a while,and would like some feedback.I have one of the 85 Fiero SEs.  Here is the plan, Rather than just swapping in an off the shelf sequential tail light kit,why not drop the reverse down and mount them in the bumper. Then add an extra set of sockets to where you just removed the reverse ones. Splice these to the tail lights (nearest) and you have 4 lights on each side in the rear.Yeah, everyones saying "but one on each side will still be clear" and thats why you tint that clear lens RED using translucent enamel. Gives it that stained glass look Painted from the inside.Now go find a 4 lamp sequential system   ::)  off something like a dodge charger. Im still looking for something not to complicated, but I think its doable and should come in at a fairly reasonable price.     Presently Doin the hing pins, locks,and dew wipes, the latter has to wait till Im able to find decent windows (mine are badly scratched) Only want to take the doors part ONE time,  so all 3 projects are on hold till windows are found. Which brought me to working on the tail lights They were DULL so I took em apart,polished the lens,remove all the acumulated crud,removed the rusted clips and cleaned them (look brand new) I also noticed that the chrome was like lookin black (cuz it was no longer there :o ) so I tried some spray chrome Duplicolor but it doesnt come close to whats on the cap. Not bad though, just remember LIGHT coats and allow plenty o time between coats. I did 10 in roughly 2 hours,and I have a  heated garage. I only did one section and have pix if you care to see.

Sounds like you have a plan.

I'm not sure you are going to get the reverse lights to look good with a cut-out window.  You might be better off splitting the lens, half clear half red.  Then anything that looks bad would be in the inside of the cover.

Might be worth looking at an aftermarket stand alone sequencer.

Good luck.

Plus on the heated garage.
