How to install or modify custom DIY Halo LED Fog lamps with halo LED switches or rockers in a car bumper. These went in my 1997 Saturn station wagon. These are ebay fog lights with 2 different functions. They're easy to install with just a few basic tools.

Halo LED Fog Lights with Halo LED switches

Beauty shots saturn - locked down different exposure

In this Episode of Velocity Labs we’re installing some sweet ass LED FOG Lights.

IN a SATURN.

Oh, and real quick in case you’re just looking for the wiring diagram, here it is. We’ll show this again later.

We’re going to be installing them in those factory looking spots, and I already popped one out to take a look at it. It’s just held in by a plastic groove that snaps into the bumper. So we’ll be able to drill a hole in these and mount the fog lights directly in them.

They came with some brackets but we won’t be using those because we’re going to mount them flush. Here’s all the hardware, the fog lights, 2 relays and two halo switches. We need two because the fog lights have 2 functions, the Halo Light and then the main bulb. Plus 2 switches looks dope.

I’ll also be adding this little fuse box to make things easier, but it’s not necessary. Plus this piece is easy to replace from a junkyard in case I mess it up.

It’s just a few screws and a couple clips, but some little plastic clips on it broke, so i’ll epoxy that later.

I tried taking out some plastic with some tin snips but it was making it crack pretty badly, so i switched to the die grinder and rounded out some nice openings for all the electronics to fit through. This worked WAY better than trying to cut it and it almost ended up looking like a factory design. I mean, if you squint and don’t notice the rough edges, uneven cuts and general deformity of it, it’s basically stock. I did a test fit and had a just little extra to take off over here but that will give us plenty of room to get our wires through.

With the switch fitment done now let’s fit the fog lights themselves.

I measured out and punched the center, then grabbed a hole saw. The hole size I need is about 2 and a quarter inches, but all I could find was 2 and 1/8th, which I think will be too small, buuuut it;s all I got. . I clamped them down to a 2x4 with THE CLAMPS… and then drilled out the hole in the center. As expected, it was a little too small though, so… die grinder. Now you may be wondering, how am I going to secure the fog lights to the factory plastic retainers without any bolts or screws? If you guess JB WELD plastic bond epoxy, you’d be right.
But first let’s see what they look like when they’re lit up. Hooooo LEEEE shit that looks awesome. OK, now I’m stoked, let’s get these mounted.
First we’ll scuff up the back to promote proper adhesion and then mix up the epoxy. I also remembered to use a little to fix the vent clip I broke.
Then I moved to the interior of the car to add my little fuse box and start wiring. I put it right on the drivers side kick panel, and I ran constant power to it so I can have the fog lights on when the car is turned off. However, if I ever want to change this in the future, I only need to change this one wire to the fuse box to accessory power and that will switch the whole operation to only be on when the ignition is on. So that’s a simple change if needed.
Wiring. I’m terrible at this so you’ll get no instruction from me, but here’s the wiring diagram so you can do it yourself. I also have another video explaining this more in depth if you want to check it out, the link is in the description. It’s not terribly complex but it’s time consuming and I hates it. Anyway, I wired everything up from under the car, mounted the relays on the strut tower, then wired up the switches inside the car, and oh, don’t do what I did. I got all the wires ran and connected but forgot to feed them through the nut that goes on the back of the switch and holds it in place. So I had to unplug everything and re-do it.

zip tie the wires .

Now, these are $13 dollar lights from eBay. Will they last? But if they ever fail I'll let you know. Next video we're going to finish up the mods and maintenance on the Saturn Daily Driver and then we're installing a new clutch in the eclipse.

i've installed 4 of these, the quality is pretty much 2 weeks in every day use. then they burn out.

i had a 1998 sl2 saturn that got 30 mpg everyday every week..i hauled 2x4x16 boards from the lumber yard with no issues, paid 50 bucks for a set of 4 tires that lasted me 3 years and put a 96 dollar exhaust on it..that's it in 3 years..damn fine vehicles!!

Those old Saturns are badass in terms of reliability. Great wagon

Yes, what a good video I liked it a lot I think that just as you explain in the video that is how everyone who is going to install something in their cars has to be, the only thing missing is to show how the lighting looks on the road and on the wall excellent video Greetings from Honduras

[GarretSterling]

Bravo on the Futurama reference
"THE CLAMPS!"

[happysawfish]

What a GREAT video on the DIY! Very well thought out. Helpful. Best one I've seen in a long time. Now all I can think about is getting some Yellow Fogs and installing the hell out of them!

[Sshtbx_cars]

Came across this video by accident. I'm currently looking for some fogs to install on my 97. Was actually thinking of doing something similar to this but I want to use some lights from auxbeam or something. Was thinking 4" but it's going to be too big. Nice vid!

[smith_dsm]

I love watching your channel! I have a 93 eclipse track built which is also my daily driver and I have a 92 eagle talon tsi that I just finished rebuilding, all I have left is to get a new ecu and ecmlink from ecmtuning and it will be complete!

[Skibidigooner]

Strapped these to my ae101r 5 weeks ago, still great today. To be fair, i havent actually used the fog lights in fog yet, but the angel eyes are great.

[rickguynes]

Firstly loved watching your vid. Be honest though everybody. What do you expect from $13 Ebay lights???? Your cars are 12v but when running your car is pumping out nearer to 14v. Hence BOOM!!! bye bye lights. Especially if from China lol. Once again great vid. Was nice to see how they looked working.

2:43 It BASICALLY LOOKS STOCK!*

* Some restrictions apply. Requires unspecified levels of squints, and not noticing rough edges uneven cuts and general deformity. May cause mild disappointment or death. Ask your doctor if BASICALLY LOOKS STOCK is right for you. Offer void where restricted or prohibited or unrestricted or not prohibited by law.

I bought these cheapo lights then swapped the halos for rings that are color changing using a blue-tooth app. The swapped halo "bulbs" were twice the cost of the full map assembly but they look good.

[howdy]

I've been watching this video non stop for days on end. I just bought the fog lights... Might have to pay someone to install though.
I love how the buttons show which angel eye feature you're using. From what I gather...
I only saw one button which was the ring, and it was the ring on the outside. Great job and great video! Thank you 🙏🍺

[glitchthecat]

That's dope af.i bought the purple ring led i cant wait to replace my factory ones

[ericsmiley]

The futurama clamps nod was appreciated

[dougbruce]

Awesome video, those seem to be some great looking halos for the price. And I like how the switch is also a Halo lol

[NeoJSsk]

Am I the only guy who spend more time finding my tools than actually doing the job ?

[hagglundguy]

I love how you use anti vandalizing buttons in your own car

I just purchased a new Scatpack widebody Challenger. The car does not come with fog lights, where fog lights typically go the widebody Scatpacks have closed off grills for the inter coolers and trans coolers that are not included in non-supercharged Challengers so I plan to do the exact same mod. I would like the halos a bit lower light level might add a resistor so it matches my existing headlight halos and curious about the Color of the fog lights in Kelvin, they look like 5000's my Stock HIDs are 4300 I believe but might be changing those bulbs to 5000's so they will match in color.
Please let me know if those are still working. My stock HIDs really suck especially in the rain. I really was planning on spending a whole lot more on set of fogs but really like that setup, even the switches look awesome, If these are a no go I will look at Hella or Lumen but these look like a great deal.

i love the reading of the box specs haha chinese gotta love em 😂
