I managed to figure out the wiring and how to mount them nice and even. The problem I cant see to solve is how to snake the wires with the toggle switches on em from the engine bay thru the firewall into the cabin. Am i gonna have to do some cutting? Any ideas?

 

There is a hole on the left side of the engine bay. It goes to the left front fender. Route the wire through this hole and take off the shroud behind the left wheel. You will see the wire and you will also see the vehicles wiring harness. Use a screwdriver to make a passage on the side of the wire harness grommet. That is the rubber piece. Push the wire thourgh the side of the grommet and then go to the inside of your vehicle by the gas and brake pedals. You should see the wire poking through. It is also a good idea to insulate the wire or wires so that the metal does not cut through them. Good Luck!

 

I looked at these the other day and wasn't sure what they would look like on the Max. Did you get the ones that can change colors? I want to see pics when you are done!

 

How did you mount them? I have a set but can't figure out how to put them in and turn the screws behind them.

 

I have the Angel Eyes... I took off my bumper when I mounted them. Easy to do a nice and clean install. And the bumper is cake to take off. I routed my wires through the exact spot as Edward had mentioned. The only thing I dont like about the Angel eyes, is the cheap A$$ switches. If you dont have the stock fog light switch, make sure you order it from DaveB and replace the POS push button they come with. As far as the POS push button for the Angel eyes, I am in the process of designing a whole new switch... LOL? I will post when I figure it out HAHA!!!

Good Luck!!!

Hey Edward...I was snooping around my engine bay based on your post, and found that I have two holes on the left side. One in front of the strut tower, and one behind it (closest to windshield). Which one is the right hole? Also, any chance you could be more specific as to where near the pedals the wire will poke through?

 

Routh your wires through the hole BEHIND the strut tower, closest to the firewall. From the inside the vehicle you should see the wire coming through somewhere between the left side panel and the brake pedal. I think that it comes through right above the dead pedal. An easy way to do this is to straighten out a hanger, tape the wires to one end and push it through. This will help you in retrieving it on the other end. You might have to deal with a little bit of sound deadening insulation on the interior side of the car. This is a piece of cake and you should have no problem. To make things easier make sure that the interior is very well lit. Use a worklight because it gets dark up behind the dash area. Good Luck.

Now I need to know who makes the angel eye fogs. Is it the Optilux from Hella? Second, do you think that an HID bulb will fit in the housing.

 

Here you go!

 

Theres a grommet you can take out to snake wires through in your firewall, if you had a sub/amp installed then you will see where, if they had some sort of experience they would have used this hole.

 

is it me or is there a gap between the top of the fogs and the bumper insert?? the passenger side looks like it sits out farther too? Im guessin these dont sit flush with the Max?? They would definitely look sweet with the Umnitza DDEs..

 

The proper place to route your wires is through the left fender. Don't let anybody tell you differently. That is where Nissan routes it. That is where you should route it. Start at the hole behind the strut tower, and feed the wire through this hole into the tire well area to meet up with the vehicles wire harness. Then its though the second hole into the cars interior. You can't miss. Do not go through the engine bays firewall, it is not necessary. By the way, you have to partially remove the plastic behind the tire, no biggie.

 

Whoa, sorry about that, he asked where to run wires. I work with installing wires (after market equipment use) and usually i dont go through the fender. He asked where to run wire i simply told him. Going through the fire wall he wont need to drill and if he uses a razor he can cut a small hole. If nissan has a preset route for which they use to run wires for the foglights go for it.
