My LED snake eyes install - fog light controled

**Toni** · 06-13-2014, 12:16 AM

Yeah tons of snake eye threads over the years. So, here's another one

So I decided to go LED strip. Picked up a pair for 10 bucks off amazon. Side affect of the popup projectors is it doesn't light up the snake eyes when they are down so I wired them up so I could just use the popup button to activate them no matter what.

Link to the strips on amazon

Here are the strips and how I mounted them to the back of the light. The wires coming out of the device aren't secured. So I epoxied them to the case where they come out. That's what that piece of blue tape is, it was holding the epoxy from dripping. Bent a strip of alum and attached it with the doubled sided tape they provided. Makes it easy to remove or replace the strip.

Then the fun part...

Since the fog relay coil only gets power when the lights are on, you have to provide it +12. Luckily the 15a fused line to the relay which powers the fogs is always there. So you just need to connect it to both the +12 coil side and the input of the relay.

A bit ghetto, but you can't see it

And yes...I know I have mismatched coolant hoses lol.

The only thing you can't do is have them on when the high beams are on. The column switch removes ground from the relay coil but not a big deal. This one is harder to fix.

Looks very awesome. If I was staying 1g Stealth front end, this would go a long ways towards updating it.

Is the 1st gen different than the 2nd gen? I was able to do a mod that allows my foglights to be on even if my high beams are on.

I think those are the best ones I've seen yet. Nice job Toni!

Very tasteful.

That's weird. They must have changed it when they introduced the glass lights.

Toni, I needed to do some MODS to do it.

can be found here, I did this on my 94 and I can now turn my fogs on with running lights or high beams.

Hope it works for you too.

Lol big link is big. I actually don't want them to be on with my lights at all. Not a fan of them on with either highs or lows.

I actually think I want to rewire them so they only come on with ignition and turning the lights on turns them off. It's good enough for the NG but I'm gonna change it up afterward.
