Here's a copy of the instructions to install a Euro rear foglight to any Z, these particular instructions are from a Datsun Freeway kit. Once the kit is installed or you fabricate your own kit using instructions provided, the Euro fog will come on when you turn on your lights via the switch(Pointing out the obvious... don't judge me.).

First you'll need to remove the plastic pieces from the trunk area... all the way up to the sub woofer area(Bose) or the driver's side rear pieces. You don't have to remove the speaker bar b/c the loom is along the driver side rear fender or the passenger side panels.

Second you'll need the info to how to remove the rear bumper, refer to the link below:

Third... Well the instruction's will guide you on the way.





At the end of your installation should look like this:





Notes:
1- One can choose to use a piggy back connector similar to this, the wires are 18 gauge in that particular harness area:

2- I actually cut the Blue/red wire in illustration #7(picture's dont have numbers but the refer to #7 in the instructions and you'll see what i'm talking about), soldered, and wrapped, rather than do what is depicted.

3- One can run the switch to the center console instead of the under panel area of the dash. Just know you need to have a clean metal area to attach the ground to.

 

Very cool write-up, bump for something different and clean

 

whats the part number for that fog lamp switch??

 

I'm going to check that for you but I'm willing to bet that it's from a Maxima/Altima/Pathfinder of the same year of the Z.

 

Awesome, glad I came and looked here. Subscribing for switch info

 

nice info...been using my fog lamp as a paper weight till i have time to change it out...been looking for the switch and the thats some what decent is from a toyota.

 

I want to do this but with LEDs in both sides and keep the back up lights.

 

I'm looking at getting another kit that includes the passenger side and the switch on the stalk instead of a button. So I was thinking the same thing, have the euro lights run at the same time via the switch and have a separate LEDS's run the reverse lights on both sides. I'm working with Datsun Freeway to see if they're available so I'll keep you guys posted, the only problem is you need to wait until I get back from Afghanistan in Sept

 

i would like to know. thanks for this thread!

 

The JDM/Euro Foglight only comes on one side, the driver's. They dont make one for the passanger side.

Just ordered it

 

Is it a OEM part or aftermarket?

 

what did it run you

 

Possible next mod

 

I'm still in the paying process so I'm not sure exactly... I believe its going to about 550-575ish shipped from Japan.

I believe its an OEM piece... the stalk looks OEM at least. I need to get you guys the switch part number but that'll be in Oct when I return.

Good luck

 

Thanks for the update

Im going to have to send them an email to order the harness & switch. I believe there is a vendor here in the states that has the kits in stock.

 

I've been trying to get a hold of Motorsports Nissan or WTF they're called and nothing... I just contacted Datsun Freeway on my own, Vendors here suck more and more every day. PM me and I'll give you the email address I used.

 

So I'm looking for a switch... I've found that most newer Nissan's have the switch on the stalk BUT aftermarket foglight kits have a button. So here's what I've found:

You can essenctially get a switch, a plug(Switch side), and enough cable to make it work. $44 is pretty cheap for what you'll need to fabricate your own kit. You'd need a lead that would work with the Nissan plug(Light side). I'm thinking of making harness kits when I get home for you guys being that I'll have an extra kit to copy.

 

Updates?

 

Not a wire guy, but can this be done to the third brake light? I brought some pieces to turn my third brake light into a fog light. I'll cover up the strip so it's a box like most rear fohlights. Then controlling it so that it can flash/pulse. Don't think I thought of this first, but haven't seen it done...
