Installing Fog Lights GLE

I have a 96 GLE and want to put in OEM fog lights, the lights I am getting come with the bracket and the actual lights. Cutting into the bumper does not seem too hard; the wiring is where the problems start. I would like the lights to act as follows.

1) Turn on with the parking lights, and stay on with the Headlights.

2) A way of turning them off, maybe a separate button or something like that.

A guide or some advice would be great


Thanx for the help

Umm, you might want to get the stalk with the switch to turn them on too.

Once you have the stalk, just do the standard foglight rewire mod that's mentioned everywhere.

It'll come out if you remove the plastic steering column cover and the screws that hold it in. The new one should plug right in where the old one came out.

I have 99 GLE and the wires already there, all I need is the Fog Lights and Relay and Light Swith with Fog light switch on it. You might have the wires prerun on your 96 GLE but then I am not sure.....

You may want to check out Jerry Rome Nissan . They have the fog light kit (includes stalk, fogs, brackets, etc.) for $215 shipped for 95-96. Just bought a kit for my 99.
