How did u hook up the fog lights? The wires from the stock fog lights are too short. Did u buy extra wires? If so, what kind and awg can I get from home depot?

his aftermarket fogs came with pig tails, so I'm guessing he extended the wires to connect them!

The pigtail is that long to reach all the way from the bottom fog light housing to the factory head light wires? The do u slice the positive and ground wires or just the positive wire?

Joebeast is right. The pigtail only provides a few inches of wire. You have to extend the wires. I just added male/female connectors and about 20" of 14ga wire. I unplugged my foglight wires from my headlight. I cut the factory foglight wire and added male/female wire connectors to them and just attached the new fogs.

May sound like a lot but it was very easy. I removed the headlight and it took about 30 mins for the whole wiring process.

You can ground the fogs to any ground that you like, but I used the stock foglight ground.

So I was reading through this and I really can't read through all 28 pages lol, I want to order the black IPL front bumper from orderinfinitiparts.com. I went to a local dealer today and he was saying that I needed the Front bumper cover, the fog lights, the washer tank, and the front upper grill? Doesn't the OEM 08 upper grill (the one with the infiniti logo on it) still work with this 2011 IPL bumper? I have an 08 sport coupe and am really interested in getting this done. So when its all said and done, what end $ amount have you guys spent to get this swap done and which parts are a must to complete it. Maybe someone can repost it for those of us that just now are starting the research to complete the project! thanks guys!
