I've searched and searched for 2002-03 part numbers, but could only get the part numbers for the 2000-01 assembly. I do think that they are different for the 5.5 gen however.

FOG LIGHT RH (PASSENGER SIDE)
Part Number: 19-5453-00
OEM Number: 261502Y925

FOG LIGHT LH (DRIVER SIDE)
Part Number: 19-5454-00
OEM Number: 261552Y925

heres a interesting little fact. The fog lights off an xterra will fit 00-01 maximas. I went to the junkyard last saturday and they had an xterra, either 01 or 02 smashed up...but the front bumper was in one piece with the fogs still on it. They are like brand new, crystal clear. Snatched them up for 50 a piece, since i pulled them myself...if they pull it, they charge a 100 a piece, crazy.

You don't want 2k2/3 foglights anyway. They crack way too easy. I've already broken 3.

I haven't done it yet, but i know it's just waiting to happen. What on earth was Nissan thinking putting glass foglights on our 5.5??

They just crack by themselves? Or does it involve some spirited driving too?

It involves a simple rock hitting it. You can be racing, or just minding your business going 55 on the highway. When they're on they get REALLY hot and are even more fragile.

I just replaced a bulb in one of mine for $15. Nissan wanted $200 for the whole foglight. That doesn't make sense, because Courtesy Nissan is selling a whole conversion set (two light assemblies, relay, steering wheel stalk) for $185.

Go figure. Anyway, both of my foglights are cracked.

Nissan was charging me $100 for this tiny plastic 15.5" LED bar aka 3rd brake light. In this case, consider $185 a deal...

Wow!! I had no idea!! I rarely have my foglamps on, so I'm guess that bought me some time over 2 1/2 yrs and 30k.

Knock on wood, but I've never had a problem with my fogs cracking, and i've had my 5.5 gen for almost 2 years...

Well, it's official. I checked my foglamps last night and it looks like a rock nailed a hole COMPLETELY through the lense.

I had glass on my 92 SE and had one broken from a stone impact. I was able to buy the lens only at the time. I have not had any problem so far on my 02 in 2½+ years and 30k miles. I'm sure that plastic would not survive much more than glass with a high speed impact.

Bottomline: the only glass on the front end face of a car should be the windshield.

The main problem with plastic lenses is that they sometimes cloud up or turn yellow over time.
