Before i installed them - Hella Optilux 2500 angel eye foglights, i drew up a schematic so that i can retain the factory fog light switch that came with my maxima.

You do not need to install a separate switch, basically how it works is as follows.

Parking lights - Headlights must be on.

Factory Fog light switch off = Angel eyes ON/Foglights OFF

Factory Fog light switch ON = Angel eyes OFF/Foglights ON

Flash to pass w/foglight switch on = Angle eyes OFF/Foglights ON
then angel eyes ON/foglights off (looks cool!)

What you need is TWO relays.. and a bit of patiences, but now my car is all factory switched, and looks great..

As a bonus, the foglights are 500% better than stock, and infact out shine my HID's!!

Where are the pix?

 

Need some pics please

 

 

Where did you get them from minirx7?

 

What does "Flash to pass w/foglight switch on = Angle eyes OFF/Foglights ON
then angel eyes ON/foglights off " mean?

Any pics? Did you have to do any modifications to the factory housing?

 

I wanna see too!

 

Why is it brighter though?

Let me know what you think

 

these are my angel eyes and i like em .... its a pretty cool head turner

MY ANGEL EYES

 

It looks like they are too small for the size of our stock holes.

 

That gap is horrible. I'll stick with my factory cracked fogs.

 

I think they look good. Although I'd like to see a full shot of the front of the car in the day.

 

Yes... it looks better on a full basis...

THe gap isn't noticeable infact the fogs look much better than the stock ones because they are very clear.

 

looks ok
the gap is a problem makes it look unfinished and i'm a bit worried about water getting behind and blowing to light.... have you driven them in the rain yet will i will like to know how they hold up

 

I just installed them this past sunday..

No worries about water, because the Hella lights are actually very well designed...

As for the gaps, it really looks good, much better than stock... the gaps are very even around the circle so it looks perfect...

Besides, the factory foglights don't do anything for me interms of lighting.. These lights shine brigher than my HID's, and i am very happy with them.... And at $100 CDN, its way cheaper replacement over the crappy Nissan ones that i have broken manytimes.

I have been considering these because: they're cheaper than replacement OEM foglights & they look cool at night. But that gap is so huge in the day...not sure if I could live with that...

Good work though!

 

The gap is much smaller on the 2000-2001. They fit flush. I am about to install mine any hints on making the install look clean and not ghetto rigged? Also, how do I get the switch panel off to put the switch in?
