I had alil run in with a snowbank today.. lol
Short story shorter, i need a new foglight..
OEM would be good, so I dont have to replace BOTH..i believe i need the whole assembly, bracket, housing, and light..
any help would be appriciated, and maybe a link to directions for changing it.. wiring stuff mostly, rest shouldnt be hard...

Dealer or keep checking the classifieds for used set. If it's just the glass that's broken you can get a new cover from the dealer for like 35 bucks.

MaximaN00b

well i hate bothering with the dealer, i found one on ebay, used for $60
seems fair to me, i dont care as long as it looks original and works.

Keep checking ebay. I bought one last summer for $10 when I had one damaged. They come and go, sometimes great deals, sometimes not.

I bought brand-spanking new ones from courtesy nissan for ~$35 ea.

Good choice. New is better than used, even if it is only the lense.

it was the whole housing not just the lense

If yours are broken, I would just take them off until you find some cheap used replacements (unless you buy some new ones). They are very easy to remove.

Another option is to use the original mounting plates and the plugs from the broken ones and install some kind of aftermarket fog lights. I keep thinking about buying some high end driving lights, since the headlights suck so much, but I just don't drive my car enough to justify it.

Have you done the 9007 bulb conversion? That goes a long way...

+1 on the 9007 conversion if you use decent bulbs. I did the 9007 conversion and used cheap walmart bulbs and didn't see that much improvement, then I got some silverstars and it was a world of difference.

Also, if you do want to remove your fogs, I'll buy them off of you if you can throw in those yellow lexus looking bulbs

i use Sylvania XtraVisions. Most street lights in the area are orangeish, so the warmer hue blends better with them, as opposed to the Silverstar Ultras i was using for a couple hours, which stuck out on top of the color and weren't very useful to me. I plan to get Foglights soon.. just got to steal some wiring off the parts car for it.

My foglights are haxored up. The yellow capsules didn't quite fit, so I made them fit. Now they can't really be removed.

I have an extra set of brackets and wires from a busted set of fogs, so I was planning on buying some Catz MSR or Piaa 940 (two ways) and making them easy to swap out. I haven't really looked into it much lately.

I might see about the 9007 conversion. I am pretty lazy and only drive my car a couple of times a month, usually on sunny days.

I was talking about the new ones he bought from Courtesy.

Hectic, honest to God, it is the housing, bulbs, and lens. Only thing not there was the mounting brackets. I could not believe they were that cheap. And the coolest thing is they are genuine Nissan.

do they still have some more at that price? cuz you might be able to make as small profit I'd like some stock fogs eventually

maxitech

GXE fogs are another option...I have a set I still need to install. You can order them from Courtesy. Part #'s 999F1-A000 and 999F1-J9000

We bought these way over a year ago....looks like they have fixed the error in their ways. Now you get the lens and the refector for $32.64 The whole assembly is now over $130

lesson learned, never be hasty in buying auto parts.

thats the light i bought off of ebay.

APPEARANCE: VERY GOOD

WORKING CONDITION: 100% OR YOUR MONEY BACK

the appearance for one is VERY POOR, looks like its been scraped on the pavement a million times.
Honestly looks like it came from the junkyard, and it most likely did.

The bulbs burned out, i had to take off my drivers side light to check it and make sure it wasnt my wires, it wasnt.. Its there damn light, they dont bother to check these things before sending them?
Im going to the dealership and see if i can get one there now. lol
whole assembly is $130?
grr, i do need the mounting bracket too, mines bent up.
guess im without foglights for alil longer.

did you really expect new bulbs to come with (at least) 14 year old fog lights?

MaximaN00b

no, but i expected it to work
but you make a point and i didnt think that i should just replace the bulbs, which is only $5 lol
so i will do that

ColombianMax

iTrader: (7)

dude just get Hella 550 fog/driving lights, you can get both for less than one OEM fog and they're decent qualiry from what I've heard.

MaximaN00b

eh i just got sylvania 55w for $4 each, i changed both while i was at it.
i saw hella online, but they didnt have hella in stock.. (went to advanced auto parts)
but i got them both back on, and they light up.. all good now

ColombianMax

iTrader: (7)

What are you talking about? I'm not talking about bulbs... I'm talkin about fog lights / driving lights

MaximaN00b

oh, my bad.. thought you meant the bulbs since i just mentioned i was going to replace the bulb and keep the light i got.
