Sorry I havnt posted for a while. I am traveling on the highway now to get to work everyday and I just cracked my passenger side fog light. Dealership wants $177 for a 2k2 fog light and $88 to install. My question are:

1. Does anyone know where I can get one used or wholesale?

2. Is this a job I can do myself? I am not mechanically gifted. (I can change my oil, but thats about it).

Any help will be appreciated, please help me from paying dealership rip off prices!!

 

I just had to do this too. I went ahead and bought the whole fog light kit from jerryromenissan.com. Total was ~$150 shipped (after "MAXIMA" discount code). Kit came with both fog lights, etc. bascially everything you would need to install fog lights if you had a GXE. One light was going to be like ~$140 shipped so I figured at the time that for $10 I'd have an extra driver side.

Another reason it would be a good idea to get both is after you install one you'll notice that the new one looks obviously newer than the other so it might be a good idea to go ahead and replace both.

To answer your second question, this is an easy install. Bascially, remove the splash guard that is in the way, remove 2 nuts from the back of the fog light, unplug, and pop out.

 

HSV,
thanks for your response, I may go check this out. The dealership told me that the install involves taking the entire front bumper off (I kinda thought this sounded like a little bit of bullsh*t). Do I need to lift that car or can I just get to it ?

 

Well, you can stick your head under the front bumper, but things might be a little cramped. It would be much easier to put the car on jacks or buy some Rhino Ramps from Wal-Mart for $30. I have the ramps and they come in handy.

 

Also, if you look in the how-to sticky there is a write-up for replacing the fog light bulb. The write-up starts out describing how to remove the fog light assembly so that should help you.

 

If you want the Foglight Protection Kit, PM me.

Their price is only $133.06. Intallation is very simple. The hardest part for me was to remove the plastic cover under the bumper. Those snap-on plastic bolts were a pain to pry out.

 

Call Dave Burnette @ 1888-254-6060 and tell him you're with the .org

you can get the best price that way.

 

Thanks guys!! Going to the .org to get all my questions answered beats anyone from the dealership everytime!!

 

I went to Dave Burnette first. However, according to his price list the fog light kit went up in price and he could not beat the $150 for the kit. His was going to be like $170 + shipping.
