I would just put some stock ones in if I were you, they'd look better. In any case though, 4th gens come prewired for foglights, so all you would need to complete the job are the foglights themselves with associated mounting hardware, and a new signal stalk with the foglight switch on it (which can be found either on e-bay or at a scrapyard).

These fog lights are actually clear lenses. These are called blazers. The halogen bulbs are actually 37.5 watts. The are very very uniform in beam pattern but a little weak in intensity b/c of wattage. I'd recommend them over stock headlights in our cars anyday. Im actually going to retrofit xenon bulbs into them.

These are the blazer fogs that are for sale on ebay. They are clear lenses from that seller. The output pics are on down on the 1rst page of the above link. You should also read the other pages.

These bosch mini's are nice one's also. But they would need to be mounted inside of a housing.

These micro de are popular also. They are very good w/xenon retrofit. as you can see from the pics on the 1rst page above.


http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/view...ghlight=blazer

These are 50mm hella. They're new and i don't think worth the money.


http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/view...ght=maxima+fog

These are from es300 and are yellow lenses. Eh... i'd wouldn't take em, i'd leave em.

This is a random fog link... but it has some good info.

This is an awesome thread on the hella ff50 that rallylights.com sells. Go through all the pages to find the Xenon retro fit on them. They're nice for a free-form light. But projectors give the best cut off and intensity for anylight...ever....period.


Whatever you decide, if you don't do your research then you will most likely get a light that looks fancy but puts out bad light. I really don't recommend anything aftermarket other than these. Why? It's gonna have crappy lighting! The stock fog lights on our cars are really crappy too. It's because the optics are all off. Another relatively good site w/fog lights is
http://www.rallylights.com/Optilux/O...iary_Lamps.asp
and

Look at this thread on fogs also. It may help. Idk

I put 12000K HIDs in my fog lights on my I30. All went smoothly. The only real challenge is getting to them and finding a suitable place to mount the ballasts.
