Fog lite replacements

I wanting to replace broken fog lights on my 91'SE that I purchased.
Do I have to go with factory OEM replacements? or can I get some from fog lights from like autozone or Pepboys to replace the oem's?
If so what brand/make would anyone recommend for a easy bolt on swap using the existing oem wiring & switch?
Had the SE Smoged (122k) yesterday for registration. Passed with flying colors "0" (zero) emissions! not bad for 122K.

I've got Pilot fog lights that I got at Auto Zone. They've worked out great and I've never had any problems with them? I'm pretty sure that you can just leave the factory wiring in there and use the existing wiring for the new fog lights that you get, but, I'm not positive on that? Other good brands would be PIAA, Catz or Hella but, expect to pay more for what you get? Good luck man!

no you dont have to get factory. Just get 55w fogs if you use the factory wiring and you will be fine.

now if you want factory then you can get the lens for cheap. Its like $25 a piece and that comes with the whole sealed unit...lens is sealed to the chrome part that you take out to change the bulb on.

call courtesy nissan and order them. If you get them from a local dealer it will be more.

Like Mike said, call Courtesy Nissan and ask for them there. And also like he said, the dealer will charge you way too much for them.

ummm yeah read my post above

have you ever replaced the bulb on the fog lights? when you do you pull the whole glass part out (glass and reflective part all in one) well that is the part you can get for $50 from courtesy. Unless you broke the plastic mounting part or the bracket then thats all you need.

If you REALLY want the factory fogs, I'm gonna ****** mine off as soon as the rain stops here and pop on my Piaa fogs, so my OEM fogs will be up for bid/sale. Probably in the next couple of days, according to the Weather Channel.
