You have a 2010 with a 2010 AERO bumper?? As in "Limited Edition" Aero??

If so, and the car came without fogs, then you will need a slim washer bottle.
The slim bottle was a 2011 release for the Sport bumper, and IPL, as they came factory with fogs.

Look in the DIY section, in the stickies, I wrote a fog wiring DIY.

I think it said Ac auto or etc. Where the foglight where like 55$ each plus 20$ for pigtails? How much more does it cost for a HID fog kit?

If you're gonna get HID fog lights, then you won't need the pigtails. I got mind from ddmtuning. Not very expensive at all. worth getting over just buying pigtails and upgrading the bulbs. I got 4500K for the fogs and it is bluer/whiter than the stock headlights. my fogs kind of shows how yellow our stock HID are.

^^Great, how much is the DDtuning fog hid kit? Is your fogs controlled independent, or by the main headlight switch in where you must have your headlights on, to turn on the foglights, I hate that! I guess with 4500K fogs, a pair of 5300K or 6000K headlights will look nice? BTW, this sounds stupid, but when you do this. The original foglights just stay there with a dead bulb, no purpose, no use? I heard people with 4 foglights, WOW!

Is this all I need to make it HID FOG lights? No Pigtails required? Just the kit which cost $40. I was thikinking doing the headlights 6000K and the foglights also 6000K? Anyone has this? I want just a litltle hint of blue, but more BRIGHT. Or is headlighsts with 6000K with 4500K foglights better option?

I dont believe mine is the Limited because I dont have red seats, but the dealer did say i have 348HP, not the 330... ugh lol.

Thank you for pointing me towards the sticky, going over to that next. I also went to the Parts Dept asking to buy the grill with the fog light hole, or at least the part number, and they looked at me like i have 2 heads.. Does anyone know where i can get the fog grills? I also called infinitiparts.com and they had no idea..

Post a trade in the classifieds. Quite a few around here would be more than happy to not have lower fogs!!

The dealership is dumb. I started noticing some dealerships adding aero bumpers to their cars. You don't have 348 unless you have an IPL, which you obviously don't because they come with fogs and made in 2011. You either have a regular g37 with an anniversary bumper or you have the 2010 anniversary edition without red seats or lastly a regular 2010 g37 and someone added the kit as an option.

But yeah I am sure that a lot of people on here would swap with you.

If you look carefully you'll notice that it's only the black and white bumpers that had their prices increase. Assuming you have one of these colors...what I would do is buy one of the other colors and then get it painted by a local shop.

My question is this:

1. Are the fogs plugging into existing wiring that is unused or replacing the fogs that are included in the headlamp?

1a. Any way to use both sets of fogs?

2. Since I am already aero, the washer res should be ok right?

3. Once I complete the install, Ill give away my Aero grill inserts to anyone who needs them since Im asking this questions which I am sure were answered somewhere... Just paypal me shipping

(Kinda at work looking to order everything overnight for saturday, been kinda hard looking through 111 pages lol. Hope you guys dont mind!)
As others mentioned, you can use 2 sets of fogs. You will have to buy the slim washer reservoir, as the Aero bumper is compatible with the standard washer reservoir, it's the fogs that get in the way so you will have to buy the slimmer one if you want lower fogs, it's about $100. As someone else mentioned, I too am willing to swap IPL fog grilles for Aero grills.

You don't have factory 348 horsepower unless it's an IPL. The dealer might have been referring to aftermarket hp gains, but more likely he was just full of ****e.
