There should be a bolt holding the corner fog on. Then you should be able to access the bolts holding on the fogs themselves IIRC.

there is a 10mm bolt holding the corner lamp on, that needs to be accessed from under the car. Once the Corner lamp is removed you will see another 10mm bolt facing toward the front of the car. Remove this bolt, and the foglight will pull out.

After removing the 10mm bolt holding the corner lamp (mine's broken because the body shop put it in crooked and used cheap bolts which are all rusted and broke as soon as I put a socket on it!!), the corner lamp needs to be "popped out" from the front of the car. I use a screwdriver to get between the corner light and the fog light and it popped right out with just a little pressure.

What is the purpose of the corner part? Is there a bulb inside? I just got the car and haven't had time to look under/around but it seems useless if looking at the car from the front. Please help me out here.

Thanks. One last question. Is it white? I don't know if I called it the right thing last time. I am talking about the piece right next to the fog light. It's pointed kind of at 45 degrees. I didn't see a colored bulb or anything and thought it would be weird to have a white turning light. If I called it the wrong thing last time, I apologize. What would this piece be for?

Its a turning light that goes on when you flip on the turn signal.
Maximas have the same thing but there's have a more integrated look
to them and are higher up. If the bulb is blown in it it wont light up for that
side...

Thanks. Yeah, the Maxima's look like it belongs. This just looks like an extra piece of glass they threw in cause they thought it looked cool. I'll check bulbs tonight. Thanks again.

Are there other headlights that fit the a32 other than the cefiro? This could be from other infinitis, nissans, acuras, whatever.
