? regarding GLE's prewired for fogs

I know the wiring is there, would all i need be the fogs, brackets, and a foglight stalk to swap out my non-fog stalk?

All GLE's and some GXE's are prewired. Look in the area where the fogs will go behind the bumper and you'll see the harness taped up there in the hole. You'll need the switch, relay, lamps, bulbs, and brackets. If you cut your own holes in the bumper you'll need some type of trim to go around the cutout to make it look neat and not tacky. If you buy the kit from Nissan (Mucho $$$) it comes with all of this.

Any suggestions on what kits are available that are cheaper, like maybe ebay...

You will almost never find the OEM foglight kit on ebay. They are kind of rare to find anywhere except directly from the dealer or if you go to a salvage yard and get all the parts off of an SE junker; that's not likely to happen because someone will have gotten them already. Don't buy any aftermarket fogs because they are just plain inferior and will look like crap. You can buy the OEM lights on ebay for about $160 each plus shipping. Those don't have the relay, switch, or trim either. I think they do include the brackets. Just save up and get them from the dealer or get lucky like me and get the whole thing from another .orger for $190.

Does anyone have installation instructions??? All the "how to's" deal with RE-wiring the fogs, but not the initial installation, cuz I need to see what type of relay and locations to put everything... Thanks...
