Yes, you will need headlights, core support, and a flux capacitor. All of these part numbers and info are postedin the 100 pg IPL/Aero thread.

no need for new headlights, but you would need fogs, the nissan sentra fogs fit perfectly and they are only half the price compared to the IPL OEM fogs.....you would need a relay if you want to use the built in fogs, or you can wire them using the already existing wires from the built in fogs....

Thank you! Can we please use the search function? Headache with fog wiring? Seriously? If you searched through the thread all about this swap, you would see its actually pretty simple if you just tie from your existing fogs.

Other options besides the fog lights are 1. Leaving the holes in the bumper, or put a reflector behind them, as the fogs, windshield washer tank, extra installation, (and relays and switches if you want the stock fogs to work as well) will run you as much as the bumper. 2. The IPL/Aero bumper came out in 2010 as an anniversary issue, which the faux grilles on the sides do not have holes for fogs, so you could get those from Infiniti, or if you're lucky, a boneyard or a member upgrading his anniversary issue to lower fogs. 3. A member here is also doing an interesting LED DRL mod that he is going to offer to other members.

The 110+ page bumper swap thread, the DIY, and the LED DRL thread cover about everything you'd ever want to know about it, and then some. I know as I will be doing this mod soon myself.

Oh and a fourth option. Install some grenade launchers in place of the fogs.

Let us know what you plan on doing, and post some pics when its done.
