When you buy foglights for a GXE do you need to buy a stalk too?

would you have to find a fog light stalk from a junkyard? or is there any other way to just buy a pair of foglights on ebay and use some type of switch to control them?

you would need a relay too. personally I would just wire them to the parking lights or headlights so they just come on with those.

there are people on here selling the stalks, I got one from the junkyard for $10. You dont NEED it, but you do need a relay, which is already in the relay box, and you can put a switch for it somewhere. I just find it easier and cleaner to use the stalk.

You do not need a relay if your car was pre-wired (most later model 4th gens are).

I would just wire them to the corner lights like stated before.

When I did mine to my 97 GXE, I got the whole set from Nissan (without a relay).
