[SIZE="3"]Do It Yourself Fog Lamp (EASY)
I have searched the forums and there are many good ways to install the 370 z rear fog lamp. There are also many variations on what you can make the fog lamp do. I tried to find the easiest way, hassle free plus cost effective. There are a couple of harnesses out there with outrageous prices. As for me, I did not feel comfortable splitting wires and removing many panels from the car. What I did was I contacted Cary from Invisicord. Cary came up with an easy solution that works as a plug and play with no special tools required. There are many DIY on how to install to remove and install the fog lamp. The only new thing you will be doing is pulling the rear license plate harness light. Below is the step by step process I used:
1.Remove dummy fog lamp
2.Remove plate that holds dummy lamp
3.Unclip the rear license plate harness
4.Hook Invisicord wires, the colors match so it’s easier and you should make NO MISTAKES
5.Drop down the wire in the insert whole of the license harness to connect fog lamp
6.Hook the fog lamp
7.Tape wire with electrical tape so it won’t hit the exhaust
8.Clip everything back and you’re done
This set up will only work when the head lamps are on, and that’s it, nothing special, no special blinking, just on. If you do want something else or more options, feel free to contact Cary. This process is something I just tried once and it was easy, fast and cost effective. Cary should be posting this wire setup on his website very soon. Thanks to Tony Nazzal at Riverside Infinity for a great deal on the fog lamp and thanks to Cary at Invisicord for great customer service and creating a great product.
Invisicord wire used to connect to rear license plate harness to fog lamp, color coated and 3’-0” long.
Unclip harness from license plate.
Connect Invisicord to rear of harness.
Close up view.
Put rest of wires inside the hole where plate light is clipped in, and then drop it down behind bumper to connect to fog lamp.
Picture on how it looks from behind the bumper, pull down Invisicord for hook up to fog lamp.
Connect Invisicord to fog lamp harness.
Put everything back together, clip the license plate light back to the insert area, tape up loose Invisicord wire to the back of the bumper and you are done. No cutting, no pulling panels, very plain and simple.
I hope this helps. This is just another solution that can help the Z community.
Thanks guys
