Fog light advice
Fog light advice
hey looking to get some fog lights for my 97. where is the best place? how hard are they to install and is there a right up on installing them?(couldn't find one anywhere). they seem way too expensive for just fog lights from the sites ive found( around 150 or so for both) any help? thanks
My advice, skip the OEM fogs. Get some round angel eye fogs from ebay. They look great if you mount them further back in the holes. I have 2 sets of OEM fogs from a 96. I'm planning on selling those and just buying some off ebay.
all maxima's 95-99 are wired for fog lights
if your car doesn’t have fog lights all that’s involved in installing them is:
1) cut out the bumper (if not already done)
2) bolt on bracket
3) plug fog lights in
4) bolt the fog light on
5) install a relay in the left fuse box
6) buy and install headlight switch with fog light switch on it
