New 5.5 Fogs 4Sale on Ebay!

Thought this was a good deal for OEM Fogs....$84.02 for the pair.

I can't tell if these are Nissan OEM's....and I know NOTHING about this seller.
Just thought I'd post this up for the Vultures.

Go get 'em guys!

OEM lenses have the word NISSAN embossed on the glass.

Not that it matters one way or another... this is still a good deal for a matched pair. Particularly with free shipping.

Good catch, Nate.

Yeah - I knew that, but couldn't get enuff detail to see it in the photo.

These are about 50% cheaper than the OEM kit, but no idea if the glass is as thick (or thin) as OEM's.

Ask me how I know....like everybody ELSE here.

I cannot stress enuff to anybody who buys a NEW set of Fogs like these: BUY THE 3M FilmGuard or something similar to protect the glass surface from chipping and cracks!!!
Expensive but TOTALLY worth it.
Mine have been on two years now -- and they still look brand new.....knock on wood!

FilmGuard is a reasonable precaution.

But I like my approach better... don't tailgate.

Touché, Sir. I was just teasing you anyway.

Honestly, if a lens cracks again, I'll be happy to get a new one. It's not that big a deal.

Yeah, you wouldn't know it by my photos, but my entire front bumper skin is so insanely nicked that it feels like sandpaper. I think I'm going to have it sprayed or replaced next spring.

Heh - no worries.

Mine too -- it's crazy how bad my front is, compared to how nice the rest of the car looks.

if I paint -- it'll be the WHOLE thing!!

look out Earl Schieb -- here I COME!!!!

Only problem I had with these fogs are the lens magically falling off, happened to me twice. First time I thought it was just a defective fog, the second time I realized its either just poor quality(maybeh) or more likely the heat from 55 watt HIDs.

And THAT sounds like a really good reason to stay away from these!!!

THanks for the feedback on those ~lex.

Looks like it's still NISSAN OEM for fog replacements!
