I have a 2011 Nissan Maxima and wanted to replace my original fog lights with these aftermarket fog lights that I bought from ebay. I also bought an HID Kit, 8000K H3 Kit.

Fog lights

The reason i wanted to replace the original for lights because i do not want my fogs to be on when i have my headlights on so, can anyone give me instructons to installing these fogs.


Here is a pic of the Hids I bought



Thanks

 

Pop off the panel underneath the front bumper and see if you've got the harnesses already in there. Plug them up and away you go (it looks like you have the harnesses required).

If the harness is not there, you could do what I did and tap directly into the parking lights.

I don't have the link to the service manual but if you search the nicoclub website, I'm sure you'll find the circuit diagrams. You'll want to look in the Power supply, ground and circuit elements section.

As far as the HIDs, I've no clue on those as I've yet to mess with that yet.


---Edit ---
Blah, I didn't read your post very well. Look up that service manual. It'll help you a lot with what you need to do. Access to the cabin through the firewall is located underneath the air filter box (you'll likely have to remove this to access it).

 

I'm thinking of putting these on my wifes 09 max. Did you ever get these installed and do you have pics? It would be really great if i could show her how it looks before i fork out the cash for something she might not like. Thanks beforehand,

Funny stuff.

I was ready to dig up this thread today to see if they were ever installed.

 

What's the part number to those fog lights? I have a 2012 Max and it doesn't have any fog lights and I want to put some on.

 

If they are HID Fogs:

- I would recommend using a relay harness and then connecting the kit to the power source which one of them is located on the right side by the battery (Looks like a silver bolt - it is a silver bolt)
- Option 2 - Connect the wires directly to the battery
- Option 3 - Connect the HID Kit to run with your headlights
- Option 4 - Wireless switch or direct switch and mount it on the left side panel by steering wheel.

 

I blew out one of my original fog light(don't even know how that happen) Looking to put these in, but have a quick question. Will I be able to just swap out my originals and be able to run the halo and the fog light as one? And does that mean I'm going to have to splice into the wires or something on those lines? Thank for the replies in advance!
