I'll get some daytime close-ups tomorrow
Yeah they do immaculate work ! Thank you sir!
These are HID 5000k Morimoto 3Five Fogs, the LED technology has been catching up, but still the LED fog kits sold by VLEDs still don't put out as much light(lumens) as the HIDs do. Thank you sir!
ughh this never ends

No, no it never does...
I was looking at the V3s I think I'm definitely going to go that route. Most likely when I swap the grille out but I have some work yet to do on that. And still need winter tires and to finish the darn headliner project.

Stupid question time!
What effect does a tires outer diameter (od) have on vehicle height and tire:fender gap?
Working example:
OE sport front tire has an OD of 26.86"
Current front fender height is ~27.5"
A 235/45/18 has an OD of 26.33, or 0.53" shorter.
Am I correct that my car would sit 0.265 lower, and my tire:fender gap would increase by the same amount? Additionally, the 10mm wider tire would 'stick out' 5mm more, correct?
I'm just toying around with alternative sizes on stock wheels and want to make sure my hypothesis is correct.

One other thing to consider is that by changing the OD away from the OEM specs of the tire you will be throwing off the speedometer.
Larger tires will show you slower than you actually are, smaller tires will show you faster than you are. All of this can be fixed with a tune, but why go through with the headache?
Example: my F150 is jacked up and has 35" Nitto dune grapplers under it. My speedo was off by 7mph @ 65mph. In other words, I was showing 65 mph on my dash but was really really traveling @ 72mph. I had to get it recalibrated at a truck shop.

We offer an LED fog light replacement that produces 1,420 lumens, which is considerably brighter than your factory halogen bulb
These are perfect for fog lights, and a great alternative to HID

They can be found here on our site: 2009-2010 Infiniti G37 Sedan Fog Light LEDs (pair) - G37 Sedan - Infiniti - Bulbs By Vehicle - Lighting
They ship free if you send me a PM!
I'd love to hear your feedback on these. Everyone that has purchased the XML2 thus far has been amazed by the output from such a simple plug and play replacement
