Fog Lights

Anybody know of any nice looking aftermarket fog lights that will fit in the factory holes.

I hate cracked lenses and at 150 each I dont think im going to be replacing them w/ factory unless i cant find anything nice looking.

couple guys have the ones that are on my Max. The lights are from Walmart and match HID's real nicely. They are not a perfect fit however

Go to my homepage for more pics

If you have an '02+, the Walmart lights will leave you with noticeable gap [up close]. '00-01s don't have that problem as most aftermarket fogs are 4" round. 2k2ers have oval shaped openings.

I hate Nissan for this, I can't see how oval shaped fogs help output...no aftermarket fogs look good in those openings ('02) w/o gap. My PIAA 910s look out of place, even though the dimensions are close. I've spent too much on these to bother chaning them though. If I had the $$, I'd just keep the stockers, put in HIDs + that clear film.

umm no Mor, but nice try tho

any bulbs upgraded from stock (35w) will cause glass to get hot and break-or melt that film in this case and still break

both of mine have been cracked since winter and I'm waitin till they die or get really pitted....$150 for the factory to break again aint an option for me-I'd sooner cop GXE black fog hole covers and swap with that

afterall our fogs are useless unless u toss HID in there

Igor: everytime I see your wheels it makes me want to spend money. I'm curious tho if you happen to know how much the tire/wheel combination you're running weighs? I'd like to go lighter (-5 or more lbs/wheel) but LOVE those wheels you got. THanks
