Anything glass that gets hit by a rock will break! My stock fogs are both cracked, so I'm gonna try those fogs from that vendor (I'll be sure to get some 3M film)

I'll keep you updated. You can also get those without the Xenon bulbs from the same vendor.
i bought a set from him last year august. great seller and the product is good quality. only thing is i messed up because my car is a 96 so these dont fit. at the time i didn't the fogs were different shapes. so they are just sittin in the box in my room.

what are you willing to part with them for?

I agree ^, I had Ebay ones (clear) and they broke within a month. At least put on the film. Trust us, there are many of us that have been down that road.
I bought used OEM ones and have had no problems since (8 months). But then again, in Ohio, there is a lot of loose rocks on the road from winter/ salting. Mix that with cold weather and a hot bulb, goodbye fog light. The problem with the Ebay fogs is that even though they are glass, they are made of thinner and cheaper glass, so they crack easier.

The lights themselves seem to be of fair quality, given his feedback. I'd skip on the ricer bulbs and get something that is yellow rather than that poo-poo blue, which will be useless in fog.
I'd also recommend the 3M film.

This is from Courtesy Nissan Parts:
I have an auto GXE without ABS, and I don't have power seats either. Not sure what VSS is though..
1997 to 1999 Maximas are pre-wired for fog lights (except SE and GXE A/T models without factory ABS, VSS and a Driver's Power Seat)

No idea if I have that haha.
Anyway, doesn't that say that I don't have stock wiring?
Edit: But I will check later today when I get home. Haven't had too much of an interest yet, but now since the topic is brought up, I might as well.

i bought that exact pair from that seller...everything went smoothly and they look nice...except like others said u really should get protective film since they're made of glass.....i got off the freeway one day and notied a crack on mine only a few months after i installed them
....
....
i am willing to part with the lights. i need to get the ones for my 96 but the fogs are about $140 for each side which i think is crazy. i need to check around a junk yard and maybe ill get lucky and find a pair.
the lights are good quality. i agree that the lights it comes with aren't that nice. i got a set of 10000k h3 HIDs for the fogs but i need to get the right ones first. thats the same temp i have for my headlights.

I've bought from this vendor. I had to replace one of my fogs. It's been almost a year I think since I changed it out. Oddly enough it was cause the OEM was totally blown out by a rock. That's the only way to describe it. I havent had a problem with this one. I was impressed with the quality of the kit.
