If the aftermarket fogs fit just like OEM fogs, then they wouldn't be aftermarket would they?

well then do you think it is better to get OEM ones? because of the perfect fit and all that? i guess the quality of the light really depends on the bulb, huh? i mean, are there any that look better than stock, in your opinion?

I personally don't like the fogs that don't fit perfectly (the circular ones), but that's just me, it's what you like that matters.

Get OEM so that they fit in perfectly in the bumper. If you want different ones, put them near the middle of the front bumper.

I'm thinking of doing a 97+ front conversion so I get a better looking bumper then I'll get the OEM fogs for it and I might buy aftermarket ones and put them next to the OEM ones (near the center on the bumper). I'll see how they'll look and if they look gay, I'll keep just the OEM ones I think someone on here has 2 different fogs on their car.

you can prolly just go to the local junkyard and get the glass to fit your bumper. then order some bulbs froma .org vendor.

that is if your looking to save money, thats the way i would do it just make sure the glass you get is clear/clean looking, and the heat shield thing isnt melted or gone.


answer is no

go for OEM and look for nothing else. OEM fogs are BEST for maxima's. they fit right IN the bumper and dont stick OUT ON the bumper. their shape is sexy and at nights they are tight! get OEM !

You need to go to my site. Tells you exactly how to make your fogs run with you parking, low and high beams.

enjoy!

If you want to set it up the way it comes from the factory, using the wiring that's there, you need to order a new light stalk from Nissan (or go to a junk yard) and replace the one that's there with it. The fog light switch is on it.
