Foglights look good, now get the shameless dealer advertisements off that car. I had my car dealer decal debadged before I would accept the keys from the salesperson.

 

wiring kit? you dont need that u just need the assembly and the switch (where the headlights turn on) and MAYBE relay.... as far as i know my car is prewired for the fogs....

 

Is it?

Here is a guy selling OEM fog lamps on ebay for much cheaper than the dealer.

3000k HIDS in the FOGS like mentioned before...

 

That looks pretty good!

 

thanks... best way to install them is have them on a lift an take off the plastic piece which is located under the front of the car via plastic clips an plug & play FORGET about taking the wheel off & pulling back the splash sheild and making your connections.

 

Is there a good spot to mount the ballasts?

 

Looks good!

 

well honestly there isnt a good place to mount em but where mine are is in the bumper underneath the grille... place ur hand in the grille n put ur fingers underneath there is an opening i have it there with double sided tape also strapped down so if the tape doesnt work will sstill have support... but other then that there really isnt any good place to mount the ballast because there will be places where you will get a lil water or major water possible causes of your hids to die out or wa not...

 

Little physics lesson: blue light scatters to a greater extent than longer wavelengths.

So why is more emphasis being placed on color-matching the fogs to slightly blue-tinged headlights when the times that you would find the fogs most useful are the times when the light scatter would be worst? Other than for trailered show cars, why would you want to let "pretty" overrule function?

Cool, thanks for the heads up!

 

has anyone needed a relay harness when installing the hids in the fogs??? bc last night one fog light went out an when I turned the car back on it was working??? this might be the situation... let me kno??? thanks!!!

 

quick question. my maxima 09 doesnt come with foglight. i am ordering the OEM foglight and wants to know if anybody knows where i can buy the turn signal switch to turn the foglight on as the SV?

 

As far as I know, the foglight kit comes with a new turn signal switch to replace the old one. As least that's how I did it on my 95 Max GLE.

 

Some idiot shot out one of my foglights, I went to Nissan Parts Dept to find out how much a replacement would cost and they said it was $225, WOW, ridiculous.

So I guess I'll be shopping at Ebay

 

You're asking this in a forum where people are tinting windshields and headlights?

 

so true

 

So I installed the relay for my fogs an I am still having a problem with the auto lights feature one fog doesnt come on!!!??? Anyone having this problem??? I am not use to having auto lights but Id like to use them as a feature I guess for now Ill just have to use my lights when I put them on an not on autolights feature =[

 

Can anyone who's done an HID conversion on the fogs recommend a brand that works well - or warn us about one that doesn't?

 

www.vvme.com is a ridiculously cheap HID kit company. Bought it for my 300zx over a year ago and they were still working when I sold it.

 

i would just rig them into your parking lights....thats what im gonna do i dont even wanna buy that switch or relay

 

contemplating if i wanna do such because its a lease dont want them *****ing when i bring the bac the car in the end feel me... idk though why there i a problem when it has a relay!!! agh fustrating!!!

 

Excellent. Thanks!

 

No Problem! Let us know how it turns out!

 

i have 2009 s-fog light hardware installed, however they wont turn on - does anyone know if they are plug and play or do you need some kind of switch to make them work

 

The kit I purchased for my Altima came with a new headlight stalk that had the fog light switch. Worked without any other modifications. They even worked with the parking lights which factory installed lights did not.

 

Need to know if any fellow 'S' owners have successfully installed fogs.

 

not reading this entire thread, but i hope you guys realize that they are halogen for a reason.

HID and white light refracts when it hits moisture aka fog or rain.

therefore disperses and is useless. matching the bulbs to match is one thing, but you must realize you no longer have fog lights. many like myself have replaced them with yellow bulbs which cuts through the moisture AND looks good.

now since something with the 6th gens... wiring? makes all bulbs die quickly, we have also changed to HID kits... but I still use Yellow bulbs since white and higher colors are indeed worthless for inclimate conditions.

 

Hey I have have an S also and thinking about purchasing the oem foglights. How much did they cost you? Was it just plug an play? My dealer wanted a ridiculous amount to buy the fogligts through them. Thanks

 

hey. i didnt buy the OEM foglight anymore. instead i bought a projector hid ready foglight and its way better than the oem one. you can look through my album for pic and i will help you in anyway possible

 

Hey guys, I have a 2010 S and purchased a pair of "replacement" fog lights off of eBay ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_1147wt_941 ) for about $200. They look just like oem fogs so I hope they work fine. I also ordered the combo switch from mynissanparts.com for about $50, which should arrive any day now. I'll let you guys know how everything worked when I install them.

Update: So I got one of the dealer techs to install the fogs yesterday, and they look GREAT!!! It took him about 30 mins to pop-off the plastic covers, install the fogs, and switch out the combo switch on the steering wheel (thankfully the car was already wired). The eBay fogs were DEPO brand and looks just like the OEM fogs when installed. I'm pretty happy with the upgrade.

 

Hey everyone, what's up? My name is Rebekka and I'm new to the forum. I just wanted to say hey.. I hope I posted this in the right section.. if not, mods please feel free to move it.

 

Wow they look really good. Were did u get them and how did you wire them to turn on with your headlights considering we have the S model.

 

i bought it from ebay and i had my mechanic connect it to come on with my parklight

 

i roll with just my park light and foglight only and as you can see in the video, it light up very bright that i dont need low beam..
mode: HYPER WHITE LED(park light and front signal) HYPER WHITE LED( reverse and rear signal) HYPER WHITE LED(license plate) Projector HID foglight w/cut-off line(8k hid skyline blue) 1 million wireless led interior kit(with remote n music base detection) LOW BEAM(10k hid skyline blue)emit blue/purple *never one*

Does the maxima S even come with projectors? I thought just the sport and premium had projectors b/c of the D2S xeon bulbs, and those have to be SV. I guess if someone wanted HID's bad enough in the S they could have a Xeon upgrade from the factory which would give you the projector "Ball" style headlight housings. Then again if your going to pay extra for that from the factory would you change them to a 1000k? Why pay factory upgrade prices when ur going to change them anyway because your not satisfied the "factory upgrade" 4300k?

 

the S has halogen projectors

 

Huh... I didn't know that

 

I would not recommend installing hid's, if installed incorrectly you might be driving around blinding everyone and regulations in your region might be enforced by your locality.

 

I dont think it's bad enough for the law to get involved but I do somewhat agree. I would like to find projector ***** for the fogs to focus them directly on the ground. Atleast that way they are still bright for driving but doesn't look like the fogs are brighter that the headlights to someone outside the vehical. I have 6000k hid's in my fogs and have ordered 6000k D2S bulbs for the headlights because the 6000k fogs tend to make the 4300k headlights look more like halogen bulbs when both are on.
