Why did Infiniti do this with the head/fog lights?

I used these from Amazon.

Amazon.com: JDM ASTAR 1200 Lumens Extremely Bright 144-EX Chipsets H11 H8 LED Bulbs with Projector for DRL or Fog Lights, Xenon White: Automotive Amazon.com: JDM ASTAR 1200 Lumens Extremely Bright 144-EX Chipsets H11 H8 LED Bulbs with Projector for DRL or Fog Lights, Xenon White: Automotive

Here's the before (driver's side) and after (passenger side).

Sorry about the late reply! I should have subscribed to this thread.

According to the users manual, the sedan takes an H8 bulb and the coupe takes an H11. The bulbs in the Amazon link are both H8 and H11 so it should work! From what I understand, the only difference is the wattage. H8 is 35 watts and H11 is 55 watts. But I guess since these are LEDs, the wattage shouldn't matter.

Post some pics when it's done!

I did a write up on changing the fog lights. https://www.myg37.com/forums/body-in...n-a-coupe.html

It pertains to a coupe and focuses on getting around the washer fluid tank. From what I've read, the sedans don't have that tank in the way. Anyways, it might help.

The "fog" lights work with only the running (parking) lights on.
You don't need the headlights to be on.

That's not the case with my 2013 g37x coupe. You can only activate the fog lights when the headlights are on.

I've never seen a car that lets you use the fogs without your low beams on, unless it uses the fog light as a daytime running light. My 12' sedan only works with the headlights in the on position, even though I can't turn my headlights off at all.
