I found some instructions for doing it to a 5th and will give it a try over the weekend.
BTW
I have yellow HIDs in the fogs

I did it on my 02 maxima and it looks cool, but I just don't see doing it to this one, they are not even down on the bumper..

I think it will look more like daytime running lights, than a fog mod..

and for following the 5th gen how to, our cars look totally different in there to follow those instructions..

I think it would look pretty good. The fogs on the max would look something like the pilot lights on the Cadillac CTS. (the CTS pilot lights are also contained in the headlight housing)

I agree, I would like to put in blue colored fogs as opposed to the white ones on there now. I tried Sylvania Silverstars and they keep blowing yet I never drive with them on, only bad weather. I wouldn't mind yellow either. Just something different than the current one on there now. By blue I don't mean Xenon's either. I don't want to blind people...just look cool! Ok there it is I got it off my chest...yeah I said cool! LOL!

Let us know how it comes out. I think it would be good. If it's a 10page document, I would probably not even try it though.

I have to go to autocross event in the morning to do some video/picture taking for some friends so I will play with it there...... I think this could be very simple just let me look and see..... if I can't find a way in the column I have a relay switch box I made for some leds I know will work..... ohh I will post new pics tomorrow also keep an eye out..... did some custom painting of interior parts and installed some new leds in the door handles looks hawt....

I think that sounds too involved but if you have time to try then good lookin out but i still think it should be in the relay box under the hood and a wire splice to the parking lights is all that would be needed but i dont have a schematic of the fog light relay(i e: what wire to splice into)

yes I did and the result was it worked...... however you would have to mount the relay box I made for this...... I don't recommend using my mod for this, just to involved..... however if you want instructions on what I did let me know it's simple for the most part..... I do agree with Maxdout04 on this one though..... if I had wiring diagrams I could figure out a better way.....

How about wiring this thing so the fogs come on without any others being on?

That would work also but im thinking that its gonna need a power source by itself and the other way no one will leave them on by accident and have a dead battery so hooking it up with parking lights you also have the buzzer to remind you
