Fog Lights

Is it possible to buy the stock fog lamps and install them on a car that isn't wired for fog lamps?

I would think that the wiring might already be there, check to see if there is a spot in the black fuse relay box, on the passenger side of the engine bay, for a fog light relay. If it is there I would think that you could hook up fog lights to a car that didn't come with stock.

from what people told me and from my personal experience, all maximas(5th gen) are already wired.
I bought fog lights afterwards since i didnt take that option when i purchased the car and i put them on myself, it was all plug and play instructions that came with it are all straight forward.
It's a wise decission not to get that option if you buy new car because i remember they charge $400 for the fog lights as an option, but if you buy it from a nissan dealership (with the maxima.org discount) then you pay only around $150.

Thats what I did! all necessary wiring is there. when you buy the lights you get 2- lights a stalk with fog light switch and a relay! good luck its simple should take around 20 minutes to complete!

I think you could get it and stock fog lamps.
