**Suscribed**

Worse come to worse, we could always just buy the fog housings and put them in the current side vents ourselves (with use of a dremel) . As far as wiring, we would only need a switch, relay, and a fuse and have them run independently.

nothing yet.

Came across these HELLA LED lights and I may just go this route. They're low profile so I proably wont have problems with the windshield washer reservoir tank behind the faux vent.

glad i didnt make a new thread, search button helped!
anyways, im really liking the new sport bumper. idk maybe its just a fad but it reminds me of upper end mercedes and the cut it has really appeals to me. im thinking of calling my dealer up and seeing how its possible to get it done. anyone have any clue as to what all i might need? im guessing a small washer reservoir or would that just be placed in a different spot? idk even how much new bumpers with the fogs and wiring would cost.. come to think of it this might be a pretty involved purchase from the dealer, making it expensive. /sigh
i was hoping someone who works at a dealership or has found info on this could chime in. i guess da mayor doesnt really have too much info. anyone else out there that could help? =]

someone needs to:

1) compare the part # between the 08-10 and 11+ windshield washer reservoir tank.
2) compare the part # for the front bumper.

If the 11+ have different part numbers, then we can assume that:

1) the new tank is difference size
2) the new front bumper has mounting brackets for the new fogs

start off with the basics first....wiring is the easy part

I know for a fact the windshield washer tanks are different. In order to accommodated the fogs on the 2010+ sedans, the windshield fluid tank was slightly smaller. The fogs aren't mounted using brackets... the bracket is actually the bumper, it's sunken in, and you place the foglight from the front, and use 1 8mm screw to secure the foglight from the back of the bumper.

Nice to see this thread moving forward....


180Custom... Do you know exactly how much the gap is between the back side of the faux vent to the washer reservoir tank?

I really want some fogs down there in those vents. Asked infiniti how much they would sell a set of their fogs from a 37 sedan with aero package. Said two fog lights would be over $400 haha. Crazy idiots
