Awesome job Ludacris, that is exactly what I want to do. I've been looking a set of Hella FF75's and they look kinda like what you've got. They are driving beams and I just wish they were available in 100W not just 55W. My big question is I know there is a nice beefy flat piece of metal where you obviously mounted them to but how in the world did you get to it to drill the holes and mount the lights?! The wiring of the lights with the relay and tapping in to the high beam lead to trip the relay is the easy part for me but getting to that piece to mount the lights does not seem to be a simple job. How did you do it?

I don't think we even drilled holes...the metal bracket that was holding the foglight was bigger than the gap between the plastic "teeth" in the airdam so we just sorta jammed it in there tight... it hasn't budged in 7 months and it is still aimed like how we originally did so it'll do.

sorry man can't help you out with that

Thats exactly what I'm ordering in about a week... OEM is very nice on the 4th gen IMO. I try and keep things looking fairly stock, so the decision was easy.

I'm planning on doing a 97+ front end conversion so I don't want to buy OEM fogs right now. I'll probably get some yellow aftermarket ones until I do the conversion

You can get used ones from the Classified section or eBay or the junkyard. You can get new ones from here: http://www.jerryromenissan.com (go to parts catalog)

That's a nasty lookin max. Normally I'm not a huge fan of the tailight mods, but those look dope as hell on that car. I like it without the spoiler too surprisingly.

there is a hole in the metal frame that i used to mount them, i had to make my own brackets to make them fit cause there is not alot of room and the lights are huge.
