Default wanting to add lights

Okay, at the risk of asking something that may have already been covered in the forums. I am thinking of adding some fog/ driving lights to my 2004 touring model and have looked at a few vendor sites.. so far, I have not found exactly what I am looking for so, If any other 350Z owners have installed fog and or driving lights, I would love to see the pics and hear the good and or bad of the results..

Why not search? It's been discussed before...

Thumbs down

I had fogs and I removed them b/c it looked like my car had some big front teeth. Plus the light was dull compared to the HIDs. I also had to have custom brackets made by a friend so the lights would shine between the 06 grille. It was a lot of work and BS for something I took off after a few weeks.

Aftermarket fogs lights on the Z NEVER look good; they don't complement the shape of the headlights. Even the aftermarket bumpers that have holes for foglights don't go with the Z's angular headlights.

Thanks for all of the input to the question of fog or driving lights added to the 350Z.. I have seen one photo on here of a guy that had some installed into the bumper.. that did look decent.. others have been in or behind the grill.. I will keep an open mind about this..
Be safe out there and have a great Columbus Day Weekend

You have to be creative to pull this off. Im pretty sure you saw my set-up. At first I was just gonna get the JP front but i was like nvm. Then i was thinking about the V3 front with the two holes it has on each side but it wasnt in stock. So i said *** it. Im gonna do the Ings front. There are several other bumpers i thought about doing this with. You have to search which foglights are offered and how they mount to make it easier. I did a decent amount of research before i did this. I must say i am pretty pleased with the outcome of my set-up. I have another bumper i am gonna do it on but still looking for the proper fogs that will make it work.

which fronts do you personally like?

I don't agree!!! I've seen Z's without JP bumper with fogs and i think they look good. I personally love the JP bumper, some others may not. If you think your car will look with fog lights go for it, its your car.

I don't nighttime pictures, i should take some ._<

I get lots of compliments, but i am pretty sure there are some people out there that don't like the bumper. I love it though
