Underbody lights + saturn = headache.

I picked up an underbody light kit from my local checkers and have since seen it as nothing but a pain in the ass to install. They make you drill holes into the body of your car to mount the lights, and the wiring is horrible.

But today I managed to get the final two lights installed. The front of the car was the hardest to mount to because there is literally no frame to drill into except the furthest most bar of the frame. (1/8th or 1/16th inch steel sucks to drill into)

But i finally got it, and managed to make the wires look semi decent (can barely see any of them unless you lift up the hood).

I will post pics or a video when it gets dark tonight.

save yourself some headaches and use zip ties, the plastic clips get dirt underneath them and eventually break...

dont know where ur location is but do everything you can to seal where the wires go into the neon, i have replaced countless neons becouse the wires get exposed or even pulled from the neon its self
