I am looking for instructions for installing foglights on my GXE. I bought the stock foglight switch. I will be ordering my foglights very soon (PIAA 1900x (http://www.piaa.com/displayLamp.php3?inc=1900.html)) and I can't wait to put them on the car.

Probably the cleanest way to do this is to use the stock wiring. I didn't know until recently, but it's all in there, capped and stowed. You can plug the stock fog light switch right into a connector.

If you peer down behind the headlights towards the corner of the car, you should see exisitng wires going towards the fog light location. Wire up your PIAAs to these.

To do this you need one more stock part. That would be the foglight relay. This relay goes into the box in front of the battery

I don't think all GXE's have the prewire setup for fogs, but I could be wrong. So check for the wires first to be sure they're there. Then you'll know whether or not you'll have to buy the wires.

Don't worry about the instalation the fog lights will have a schematic with them. If you do have originall fog light wires even better. It's verry easy the only problem you might have is where to put them.

A Nissan dealer told me that the wiring is behind the dash and you should be able to drop the switch in. Right now, I have a dummy LED which I am going to get rid of in favor of the foglight switch.
