I have a 93 SE and obtained some stock fog lights that SHOULD have come on my car. I picked it up second hand so I don't know if it had foggies on it and the owner removed them or what. I do have the fog light button on my dash. Does anyone know if the wiring should be on the car, and what parts I should need to install the lights? If not, is there a helpful tech manual out there that includes this type of thing, or am I going to have to go to Nissan.

I have the fog light housing and some elbow brackets that are attatched to each side of each light.

if they were on the car originally then you should see a brown wiring harness floating around the elbow brackets. the previous owner may have tied them up somewhere but i doubt they would've gone through the trouble removing the wiring. if so then OEM fogs should plug right in and you should be good to go...

There is not a harness on the fog lights themselves. It must have been cut off. Do you think that I can get a hold of one somewhere...besides Nissan directly?

call youur local junk yard and see if they have an SE you can get parts from. just take your tools with you and possibly your fogs. just show them the fogs when you go in and tell them you're getting the aprts to attach them. sounds like you'll need at least part of tha brackets and some bolts to hold them on the car.


the wires themselves WILL be on the car, but they may be tucked under the bumper cover or something. check inside each fender also, as sometimes body shops won't put the fogs back on after repairing from a wreck- they'll just tuck the wires under the bumper or fender and pretend they didn't see any fogs to begin with.

That is exactly what I am looking for. But I really doubt that a junk yard would be willing to just sell this part.

Instead, at least in my ares, they want to sell the entire fog light housing (lens included).
