These instructions are very similar to the 4th Gen Maxima instructions
This rewire wil allow you to run your fogs without the headlamps on.

Tools Needed:
Flathead screwdrivers: small and medium
Large philips screwdriver
Rachet - 10mm socket
Voltmeter, Voltage light, or Multimeter
Electrical Tape
Approx. 3 feet of wire
Wire Taps

Estimated time: 1 hr

1. The relay box is located on the passenger side of the engine bay, right next to
the coolant reservoir.
2. You will be ultimately tapping into the fog light relay. Fog Light relay is marked, "FR
FOG LAMP."
3. In front of the relay box is the coolant reservoir. Remove the coolant reservoir
by removing the two hex head screws. You can use a large Philips head screwdriver or
a 10mm socket. Place the reservoir out of the way. I put it in between the engine
and the radiator; it's sits there without disconnection the hose.
4. Remove the top of the relay box. This is easy; there are only a few clips to
undo. Put the top on the side.
5. Now you can see the relays. There are three or four relays that you will have to remove to get access to the bolts that are securing fuse box against the passenger side fender. the in yellow need to be
removed in order to remove the relay box. I believe if you have a manual
transmission that there is a forth relay that needs to be removed (it would be in
the upper right of the relay box). These relays should all be the same, but just in
case make sure you remember where they originally were.
6. Turn the lights on and test the relay with the voltmeter (or other electrical
device). The marked terminal should give around a +12V reading. You can use the
terminal across from it as the ground.
7. The two hex head screws need to be removed. You can use a large Philips head
screwdriver or a 10mm socket.
8. Once the relay box is remove from the frame, it need to be taken apart. There is
an upper and lower piece. In order to take it apart there are three clips on the
side that faces the engine and two of the same clips on the fender wall side. But on
the fender wall side there are also two additional clips. I used a small screwdriver
to unlatch all the clips, be careful not to break anything.
9. With the relay box open, you want to locate the +12V terminal of the Fog light
relay. It's the green/yellow wire. You want to cut this wire, make sure to leave yourself enough wire on the
relay side of the wire to splice into. Once the wire is cut, tape off the +12V wire
with electrical tape (this is the half of the wire that isn't attached to the
relay).
10. Splice into the green/yellow wire with a long wire, around three feet. I used a
wire tap to do this, but it can be done in other ways. Make sure to wrap it with
enough electrical tape.
11. The new long wire needs to be run out of the relay box. So I cut a small hole in
the bottom to run the wire out of. You can also see in the picture the original +12V
wire that is cut and wrapped in black electrical tape.
12. Put the relay box back together. Reattach the box to the car with the two hex
head screws. To test the lights: Turn on the parking lights, and touch the new wire
to the positive terminal (RED) of the battery. The fog lights should turn on when
the wire touches the battery. They should also remain on with the high beams.
13. Remove the corner light with a screwdriver (wrap with a cloth to protect the
lens). It should pop right out. Run the wire through the fender wall to the corner
light.
14. Splice the new relay wire into the red/black wire. On the I30 be sure you tap into the red/black wire from the parking light, not the small yellow corner lamp . (BE CAREFUL BOTH THE CORNER AND TURN SIGNAL HAVE A RED AND BLACK WIRE) Again, YOU ARE TAPPING INTO THE WIRE THAT GOES TO THE PARKING BULB (the larger bulb) I used a wire tap and
then wrapped the entire thing with lots of electrical tape. Push the lens back into
the bumper.
15. Turn the parking lights on and make sure the fog light switch is on too. Your
fogs will now also be on.
16 Turn on your headlights with your high beams on, and your fog lights will remain
on.


I don't have a digital camera but I will get pics.

I just put it in the FAQ. Good work and thanks for the contribution.
