Hi i want to use my 2001 maxima fog lights in the 2002 bumper any possible process on doing this with instructions.

Regards,

Mike

 

yes...get a 2000-2001 bumper...will fit right in

 

Call up dave B , i just did the 5.5 conversation and im getting a good deal for a pair.

 

you can't keep the fogs to do a 5.5 bumper

its either

5th gen fogs with 5th gen bumper
or
5.5 fogs with 5.5 bumper

 

i said it better

 

 

but the 2002 foglights are wack and they usauly crack.

This is one of those situations where unless you do some custom work, you can't have the best of both worlds.

 

the best of both worlds is the 02-03 bumper and fogs...thats easy to put on an 00-01

 

just get your years fog and avoid curbs....................
EDIT: ill trade you my bumper with lip for something of yours.......... it has 35 in it

 

i have the 2002 bumper and 2001 bumper but i want to get rid of that bumper and use my fog lights instead of the 2002 ones.

Regards,

Mike

 

please be less vague.

 

just get yourself a pair of 5.5 gen fogs and plastic covers. call it a day.

 

what are these plastic covers you speak of? will they keep the fog lights from cracking? I've replaced my fog lights last year, and now they're both cracked again

 

I have 2001 with the 2001 bumper, in the garage i have 2002 bumper which i want to replace with my 2001 fogs cause its plastic not glass that can break easy so i want to fit it inside.
where can i find this i never seen a plastic 5.5 gen fogs.
Thats correct i dont need the 2002 glass fog lights.

I used the headlight pressure tape found @ weathertech.com! This tape can be trimmed to fit any kind of light lense exposed to possible damage! I had my 03 for about 3 months and both foglights were damaged! since then I purchased a foglight kit from ABC Nissan for about $120 with everything( It's cheaper to buy the kit than to buy the foglight housings) and applied this clear lense protector and it's been 4 yrs of trouble free usage! This tape can take a .22 caliper pellet gun shot from 25 feet and not damage the lense! I would recommend this to all 02-03 and even the 00-01 with the plastic lense ( there's a rock with your name on it out there!) You can usually find this tape in Car And Driver, Road And Track mags! I'm using it on about 3 vehicles with no damage yet to any of them! This stuff is great for protecting your headlights, hood and facsia, foglights etc.......it doesn't yellow either! I'm running HID foglights so the temperture is lower! But I did run PIAA Extreme white foglight bulbs for about 2 years. Bug juice got cooked on and left an yellowish stain the size of a nickle and I replace it with fresh tape! good luck..... Oh by the way... It's not the curb destroying the foglights it's all the (F.O.D.) and flying debris that we can't see, next time you drive down a busy freeway stick your hand outside your car and you'll be surprised as to how much **** is kicked up in front of your car by other vehicles!

 

Here is deeper info regarding that pressure tape for the foglights:weathertech.com or 18004416287/griotsgarage.com or 18003455789... This stuff really works!

 

the best way to protect lights.....

 

Soonerfan,
Yeah, I think that will be easier than all that other stuff! The one I use is 40 mil! Good site!

 

Anybody ever figure out how to do this....putting 2001 fogs in a 2002 bumper?

 

Cannot be done. Get the appropriate bumper or appropriate fogs.

 

That's what I thought....thanks

 

Do you have each on hand? I don't, but if I did, I'd conclude for sure as to what needed to be done... But since you have both bumpers, why don't you try to make them work?

They physically fit the openings (I think slight size difference) but are mounted differently. That being said, the bumper is only plastic, so if you feel like modifying, give it a shot. I would if I had 2 bumpers to play with.

 

^^ This is more accurate than what I said. I've seen it attempted (and 'successfully' mounted), but because of the size differences it looked terrible.
