Will 2011 fogs fit 08-10 bumper?

What type of modification would be entailed to install the OEM fog kit from the 2011 coupe? Or maybe even customizing the 2010 sedan fog kit. Has anyone put fogs in the lower vents? This is something I want to do, but I think I've seen in another thread that the windshield washer fluid tank is in the way of any room for fogs. Any ideas?

If you are just looking to swap bulbs, nothing would be needed as they are both H1 bulbs.

There are a handful of people that have put fogs in the lower vents, and YES the reservoir is in the way and needs to be modded to fit

any details or DIY? Couldn't I just get the reservoir off the 2011 coupe as well as the vents and fogs from it? Looking for something which will be more of a direct fit rather than having to dremel and mod too much

you WILL NOT find anything that is a direct fit. period.

I think if you PM yogregb (I think that's his UN) he did a really cool fog setup. but I haven't seen any DIY's posted on here

Doesn't the 2011 G37 coupe come stock with fogs? I think it will be the closest thing to fit

if you mean stock fogs in the bottom vents, so do the 2010's...it might be a close fit, but nothing will match up exactly

the coupe fog kit has not been released yet, but I am assuming its the same as the one in the sedan.

im also assuming that the ones on the sedan are not too big, and can fit in the plastic bits on the coupe bumper.

Yes the tank does get in the way, you can pick up a 2010 sedan tank and just use that.

as for the modifications, how comfortable are you with cutting, attaching and wiring?

I will be comfortable cutting and wiring because i did this to my 05 Acura TL. Are you sure the sedan tank will fit the coupe and have the same mounting holes?

from what I remember, someone tried this on a 09 Sedan with an 10 tank...it fit fine. I think its the same exact piece, just smaller
