would they fit a 2k or 2k1?

 

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

 

Nope, won't fit. Different size.

 

2002-03 are more oval

 

fudgesicles.

 

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.

 

are they glass or plastic?

 

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

 

how bout the xterra fogs? how they performin?

 

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??

 

I wasnt aware that was a problem on our Maximas.

 

it is... it is.

 

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...

 

The glass ones definately suck *** since I am on my 3rd set.

 

PhxBlue, who do you get the replacements from, and how much?

 

3rd set here ..glass fogs suck ***
just got my 3rd replacement of the drivers side... i dont get it why is it always teh drivers side damn it

 

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.

 

after replacing my fogs for the second time. noticed a crack in my drivers side fog... my fog light went out becouse the water got in ....so being fed up ... i got some clear epoxy and sealed the damn crack .. and replaced my bulbs with PIAA. so far so good ..

where dem pics yo! ; )

 

I don't think so, Diferent size....

 

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.

 

I disagree. The plastic lenses (i.e.: the outer face of our headlights) have a higher threshold for impacts. Though stronger impacts may still result in damage, my school of thought is that "plastic" is more likely to survive longer. Bottomline: the only glass on the front end face of a car should be the windshield.

I see what you're saying to a point. I had plastic headlight covers on that same car that saved my headlights from getting damaged. It sustained an impact from a stone and got small spiderweb like cracks in it whereas the glass lens would have had a bulleye chip. The main problem with plastic lenses is that they sometimes cloud up or turn yellow over time.
