can anyone post the picts of the instructions and or take a picture of the wire loom?

i picked up the rear fog light but it didnt have instructions or wire loom or button.. so i guess i gotta wire it up myself.

but anyhelp would be great.. thanks

 

Chesto, I'll scan them tomorrow and email them to you. You should have just asked me.

 

that's pretty cool. i just learned a new thing today about rear fog lights.

i wish they came on both sides though to look more symmetrical.

 

same, not on the z anyway

 

Ask and ye shall receive... I've also taken the liberty of posting in the DIY area too.

 

^ Beat me to it.

 

gdamn it!

I was gonna pick one up at the z store but wasn't aware it was on back order. awesome find sir!

 

Did you LOL when your read the instructions? My girl read it and she looked at me like... How in the Hell did you figure that out, I told her pictures are worth a thousand words.

 

<3 u guys

thanks

time to dig through my electronics tool box to make some wiring..

ill check out the DIY section too.

 

Chest I just saw this and was going to pm you the link but it looks you saw it also. Thanks Flo!

 

not feeling it on a silver Z. maybe black or some other color.

 

Love the look.

I've seen other mods people have done and was wondering where everyone is getting their switches that match the OEM's

Anyone?

 

Mine actually had "Nissan" on it so I'm thinking it's from another Nissan:
Altima or Maxima for the same years

 

Looks clean!!!!!

 

Thanks. I'm looking for two switches, one for the console between the seat heaters and another next to the TDC switch.

 

ok. those instructions are so hilariously horrible.

i was looking over the scan that Kwame sent me.. i havent had a chance to pop off the rear bumper yet, but correct me if i'm wrong..

1) basically remove a rubber plug on the back of the light blue connector, insert a new pin (female receiving end) such that the blue connector now has THREE female ends. (to mate up with the three male pins on the fog light assembly

2) insert this wire back into the wireloom and run it down

3)then splice this new wire to the Red/Blue wire on the back of the wiring bundle you just pulled out. i'm assuming this is the +12V.. need to double chk the service manual.

4) run two wires to the front of the car to the switch. along the inside under the kick panel.. blah blah blah behind the steering column.

5) on the other side of the switch, should be the power wire from the harness, and a ground. attach the ground to bare metal to complete the circuit.


is that pretty much it? is there any fuse? or is that taken from the reverse light power line?

 

Thats correct... Once you remove the rear bumper the instructions(or picture's for that matter) will start making a lot more sense. I want to say that the Blue/Red wire in the harness is a 12v accessory. The switch will not be energized when the car is not on(or in ACC) regardless of the switches' position... your also correct that there's not a fuse or anything. When you really think about it... the EDM foglight only has 2 actions: 1) Fog light and 2)Turn signal(Hazard lights) when the USDM version has only 2 actions as well, so the power output is the same. I know this is random but when I installed my EG6 Civic fogs the whole kit was similar except that the switch remained energized regardless of the position of the switch/ACC and it had a fuse b/c there was nothing but Direct 12v, Ground, and the Switch. FYI... I was stopped and asked about the light, the Police Officer was actually cool about it but mentioned that it was kinda low. It could possibly be a ticketed offense, he made a good point about European cars in that they have the rear foglight implemented into the light housing itself. I'm wondering if thats a D.O.T thing or if varies from state to state. If you run into any problems PM me.

 

lol its funny how the people in Germany who drive a Z want to get rid of the fog-tail-lights....and the US market wants them.
BMW, Audi Mercedes all have them cuz its law to have fog lights...

Thats were I put mine *

 

Vash we are backwards

Cheston did you grab one of Tony's? If so same here. I was reading through some DIY's when I searched and i accidently went into a 370 fog install. Now they are using an "Invisacord?" Not sure if that will make it easier for the ones without a complete setup.

I was just going to tap mine into the tag light?

Chris

 

yea i got a set from Tony... the Invisacord looks like its just a splice @ the backshell/connector end doesnt seem too bad if you want it constantly one..no big deal but i'd rather have it switched on/off when i want it to- i guess i'll pick up a fog light switch from Nissan dealer when i get a chance.


thanks for the clarification Flo-ridaZ33.. (im still chuckling at the Datsun freeway engrish.) i found their website, but they discontinued this product and they have a center mount fog light now..
