aftermarket fog lights????

I'm a little torn between getting the OEM fog lights or a set of AfterMarket fogs lights ( HID fogs). I love how clean the OEM foglights sit and how they are prewired already. But 180$ from courtesynissian is a bit too high for me.

Since aftermarket fogs can be had for roughly $60 or less. I was looking into those. Not too sure on how most of the wiring goes for that and what kind of switch will i be getting. But its a lot cheaper. But i haven't seen much maxima's with aftermarket fogs. So i wanted to see if it would look decent on a 4th gen. So please post some pictures and let me know if the fogs lights you bought came with a relay and wiring stuff. Or are they just the fogs.

personally i never wired anything up but i assume its just a simple 4 prong relay. i wire from the fogs is connected to the relay, 1 from the battery. 1 from the switch. and i dunno the last but shouldn't be too hard. my biggest question is where do i place the relay? in the relay box?

I just got some Autozone fogs a few days ago, and these things are bright as hell, and they look really nice too, especially at night. I'll have pics tommorow night when its dark.

Stock fogs don't do crap for lighting so you guys need to stop trying to hate on something different. I have Hella Auxilary lights now and they blow the OEM and my rectangle PIAAs out of the water. Pics will be up soon as I take them.

I should do a retrofit and put these on my headlights housings. They produce more light than my HID's.

They look a lot like HID realistically. 20 bucks from autozone, and bright as hell. I could use these as my headlights


PS. yes i know my corners need another layer of paint, gonna do that tommorow. also my clearance lights, gotta get a new bulb housing since mine rusted.

stock fogs look good thats it. they shouldnt even be called a fog light. granted they are not as bad as GM's crap but they still dont work too well.

Whatever happened to the $99 deal from Courtesy Nissan, which saves you like $300 on an upgrade, and like $150 on replacing your lamps?

Full fog light upgrade kit, $99 at Courtesy. If I wasn't getting stuff that's more important than fogs... I may do it anways.
