350Z Fog lights
Well, to me is kinda weird seeing new cars without fog lights, and it sucks to have a car this expensive for no fog lights. I mean, I bought the Z touring and I got Bose sound system but no fog lights??
The Xterra has fog lights, maxima has fog lights, crap!! even altimas have fog lights!!
I WANT FOG LIGHTS TOO!!!
There is other people like me that find fog lights important or "cool", like this guy.
Hmmmmm, in second thought, maybe I don't want fog lights!!

I have had cars in the past with fog lights and have driven them in foggy conditions (Monterey, Seaside, SF) and I don't really notice a big benifit.
Also, if people want so many things on their Z, the cost would increase. The Z is fine the way it is.

io dont like them all hidden in the back. i think evor has a set.. they look good, and they blend into the stock bumper. I want the amber lights that supras and corvetes have though.. they have yellow or HID

Yeah the cut-off from the HID has nothing to do with fog lights lol. The cut-off is produced by the projector to not blind oncoming traffic. HID's don't perform too well in rainy or foggy conditions, and halogen's actually perform better because of their yellower color. Real fog lights are the yellow ones from like an IS300.

Many auto manufacturers use yellow bulbs for fog lights, specifically Lexus who I believe has the nicest looking/working bulbs in cars today.

I have seen a lot og fogs on Z's and NONE of them look right unless they are molded into the bumper like the Kenstyle for the G, or whatever that White Z has above... Anything else looks like crap IMO.
What front bumper is on that white Z, I might be interested in that. It looks nice, maybe a little too luxury, bute none the less.

I remember a long time ago Bat posted a pic of his car with some custom fog lights he did in the grill area. They were the only fog lights I have seen on a Z that looked good. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
