If you have the Robot Craftsman Crypton bumper and want to install fog lights, here's a simple DIY method to mount them securely. This guide covers the tools and materials needed, along with step-by-step instructions to ensure a solid and professional-looking installation.

About the Crypton Front Bumper

The Crypton front bumper was originally designed using the Standard Range (SR) model, which does not come with fog lights. If you prefer not to install fog lights or have an SR without them, the bumper includes inserts that can be used instead.

Materials Needed:

• Weld-Mount 150 LB wire tie holders

• 200 LB heavy-duty zip ties

• SteelStik epoxy putty

• Drill and drill bits

• Utility knife or Dremel

• Fog lights

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Prepare the Mounting Points

• Locate the fog light mounting area on the Crypton bumper.

• The bottom right hole may need to be drilled larger to accommodate the heavy-duty zip ties.

• The top left corner might also require an additional clip for extra stability.

2. Install the Zip Tie Holders

• Use Weld-Mount 150 LB wire tie holders to create strong anchor points.

• Secure them using SteelStik epoxy putty to ensure a sturdy bond.

• Allow the SteelStik to cure fully before proceeding (typically around an hour for handling strength).

3. Secure the Fog Lights

• Use 200 LB zip ties to fasten the fog lights to the mounted tie holders.

• Make sure they are tight and do not move.

• Double-check the alignment to ensure the fog lights are properly positioned.

4. Trim the Fog Light Housing (If Necessary)

• The back of the fog light may interfere with the fender liner.

• Trim the excess material from the housing using a utility knife or Dremel.

• If you have aggressive wheel fitment and your car is lowered, the fog light casing might slightly rub when turning.

5. Test the Setup

• Wiggle the fog lights to check for movement. The setup should be very strong and sturdy.

• If necessary, add an extra zip tie or support bracket for reinforcement.

• Connect the fog lights to the vehicle’s wiring and test them to confirm proper function.

Final Thoughts

This mounting method provides a reliable way to install fog lights on the Crypton front bumper without needing a custom bracket. The combination of heavy-duty zip ties, Weld-Mount holders, and SteelStik creates a strong, long-lasting solution. If you're running aggressive fitment wheels and are lowered, be mindful of potential rubbing on the fog light casing. If you don't need fog lights or have an SR model without them, the included inserts allow you to cover the fog light openings instead.
