Can anyone point me to a how-to for this? The only one I've found is no longer available. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the foglight assembly out. Thanx.

 

try this, is very similar... its from a 2002 maxima..

Thanks, but already have read it. 2002 fogs are not the same as 2000. There's a phillips screw on the underside of it that I have taken out, but there are also two white-plastic things that seem to be holding the housing in place, and I just can't figure out how to get them out. Anyone?

 

my foglights are held in only by one screw on the bottom and then you have to push it out. i dont know anything about white plastic things.

 

you have to remove that screw on the bottom and stick a screw driver on one of the white plastic tabs on the top and push them out.

Put one hand in front of the light when pushing on the tab because it might pop out, fall on the ground and do some damage.

 

Ahhh - thanks so much. Sometimes I'm the one that makes the simplest of things very complicated. Appreciate the help - now off to put in my new PIAA fogs!

 

if you are putting in PIAA bulbs, you will soon become a champ at taking out your fogs.....

 

hahaha-- do they burn out that quickly?

 

for a lot of ppl here, they have burnt out. mine did after 6 months, and i don't drive that much at night..but then again, some ppl have had them for years and they are fine..

 

I agree to this.. mine burnt out in only 4 months of use and my buddy has had his for over a year now...

so i gave up on Piaa and went for Silverstars for fogs and headlight... its a great match on the output color for these.... just my .02

 

I have had every fog light bulb burn out quickly... thats why I put in cheap **** oem replacments now.

 

dont feel that bad... the first time I replaced mine I could not fiugure it out either. I called my dealer and they told me I had to remove the entire front end...

I hung up and quickly came on here for help.

 

upgrade to hid kit and you won't have that problem

 

Anyone how to access the fog light for an I35? I can't figure it out, there are no screws, tabs, or anything.

 

Any suggested brands? I've been wanting to do this.

 

Prolumen, Xtec are favored by BMW forums, but McCulloch on eBay are OK too.

 

never will i ever buy XTEC again. i have heard good things about prolumen.

 

What was wrong with your XTEC kit?

 

I have the Helios kit in my fogs and they are doing just fine... just some minor problems that I need to fix, My drivers side flickers every once in awhile and after I wash the car it wont turn on Other than that is great

 

i am not going to post what all happened, but i was without a working passenger fog for 3 months. so i switched back to OEM for that time. lets just say that their customer service is not good!

 

I havent even put HID in my headlights yet... let alone my fogs.



I dont want to waste $700 on 02-03 headlights and I to much of a wuss to attempt my own retro.... eventually I will take care of this HID problem till then my Piaa GT-X take good care of me.

 

Does anyone have, or could anyone point me to a picture of the back of one of these 00-01 foglights? I've got an 03 that I want to HID, but these glass lenses break to easily. I want to put the older plastic ones in. I know they don't mount exactly the same, but I'm trying to see how much trouble it would be to mod them.

 

there are covers available for them.

 

can anyone point me to a how-to for installing fog-lights in a 5th gen that didn't have them to begin with.

 

Can someone help me with HID lights? i'm lost! the dealer told me $259.00. that is insane for a light bulb. would anyone happen to know where I can purchase a HID light to fit my 2002 Nissan Max?

 

Doesn't your 2002 Maxima already have HID in the low beams?

There are lots of useful things on that site. Start here and just look around, especially at the bottom of the page:

ZMBPHD:
Are you talking about just replacing the bulb? If so, and if you are talking about just one, then yes, you can get them much cheaper. Look on the parts page (see Sticky) and check a few of those sites, or see what kind of a price DAVEB will give you.

A quick search shows a replacement single bulb (4300k stock) for $109 at:

but some of those other places are probably cheaper.
