anyone see this yet ? It's like 130 shipped but I'm skeptical of the quality.

anyone know if the oem has a plastic lens or glass ?

factory fogs have a glass lens

 

It says glass in the description....

 

then this may very well be the direct oem part direct from manufacturer.

 

good find!

 

why not get it directly from courtesy parts? http://www.courtesyparts.com/nissan-...300_8455_8679&

No need to run any additional wires/relays etc.

 

But why spend a hundred dollars more?

 

Ordered mine from these guys a week ago Wednesday. Will sure post the results after I receive the parts and install them.

 

A little info on the seller experience (hoping the product is better than the seller). Took me just over a week to nudge them into shipping the package, but at the week and a half point - they did indicate they'd shipped it.

I did get more of this "who shot john" regarding "there may be customs fees due". I sure hope not because the whole point of not just ordering from Courtesy was to save just under 100 bucks.

Anyway, when they arrive - guess I'll find out if fees are due and again hopefully the product itself is alright.

 

this is a good deal plus you get the switch i wish i knew about it earlier

 

so where r w suppose to mount the switch ?

 

nevermind guys, there's a spot by the key fob holder that this kit was intended for. (S model only)

 

Got back into town and the package was waiting. My wife said that it had arrived mid-week - which is 2 weeks after I paid on eBay. No extra customs cost as was intimated to be possible and the fellow did say they were having some holiday (so maybe it wouldn't be 2 weeks every time, but then again - maybe it would).

The lamps themselves look like OEM lamps, and if I wasn't so determined to save the full hundred bucks, I could have bought a switch for 30 and still saved 70 bucks and not had to do the wiring myself. Aside from how fun that was to go through the firewall grommet (had to take the top of the air filter/MAF off to get at it), think the only net impact is mine doesn't auto-magically go off with the high beams.

Probably somebody more knowledgeable than me could wire the switch to be on for low beams and off for high, but all I did was power the switch from the key/accessory wire so that the fog lights only work when the car is on.

The instructions say "remove the front bumper if necessary". Of course OEM or these lamps, in my opinion it wouldn't be any different. So, unless you have really tiny fingers and fancy tools, I'd say that should be changed to "remove the front bumper cover" - forget about "if necessary". This is because the upper fastener for the lamps is just below the metal bumper under the bumper cover. There's just no way to get at it effectively with the bumper cover on the car.

Of course, the bumper cover comes off easily and if I had it to do all over, I think I'd have bought the OEM switch. I'd pay 30 bucks not to string new wire and go through the firewall grommet (there's something really sharp up under that dash because it cut the crap out of my hand.)

Anyway, they look good, the switch looks natural, and they work fine.

 

By the way I put a picture of the fog lights and switch in the Max album.
