First mod - foglights to a GXE

Hi, I'm a new member but been lurking since I got my 2k GXE in July, really great information and help from all, glad I found you. Ordered fog light kit from Tustin and seems the lights won't fit. There are two bolts on the light housing in a vertical pattern but the holes in the socket? in the bumper are horizontal. Did I get the wrong lights? Plan on doing the rewire if I can get them to fit. Thanks!

I got my fogs from Courtesy Nissan... had no problems putting them in.

Be sure to get a FSTB!

Sux man... you got lights for 2k2 model not for 2k-2k1
2k : http://www.courtesyparts.com/instruc...ghtkit_04.html
2k2 : http://www.courtesyparts.com/instruc...00002_pg3.html

See if you can get Tustin to ship the correct stuff to you.

the fog light kit includes new combination switch with an integrated fog light switch..you have to replace the one you have in your car with the new one. it's not really hard to install the fogs..it's all plug and play. shouldn't take u more than 2 hours..if you really sweat it..

Tustin Nissan gives out discount to the org members. ask for Matt..he works everyday except on Mondays.

It depends on the product..just mention Maxima.org and he'll give the discount.

Courtesy Nissan has the same thing...I think %20 off OEM parts
