DIY:REAR Fog Light install with New harness for US spec 370Z + Radar hardwire w/pics

Has anyone located a source for the steering column stalk switch assembly (left hand drive) with the fog light switch present? I have found the right hand drive stalk (courtesyparts.com)

Here is a picture of the largest harness in the back of a bose audio unit (top drivers side connector). I took it right from the service manual. My question is which wire do I tap into to get power to the fog light?

My first instinct is the #19 large yellow wire
then I thought about #7 blue wire

can anyone confirm which one to use?

No need to answer the previous post. Just got my light working.

There is no need to remove the radio. Next to the shifter where the original poster recommended attaching the ground wire, there are a few wires wrapped in electrical tape. They run right along the inside of the center console piece on the DRIVER'S side. Push the clips back through the hole to free up the wires. Peel back the electrical tape and splice your power wire of the wiring harness into the YELLOW wire.

These wires run to the center console power outlet. Some previous posters were using this to power the light. Just wanted to share so that people don't pull off there center console because it is not needed.

I tapped into the tail lights. I was running wires back there anyway...

Question Factory Switch alone??

Hi I have to bring this up again because I am still looking!! Has anybody managed to get the factory-"orange" lighted switch alone??

Where can I purchase just the switch?? (I don't need the harness)

Thanks!

Woohoo! Installed mine today. Can't wait for crappy weather to use it.

Has anybody swapped out the stock bulb for LED? I don't know if it would be too obnoxious. The stock is extremely bright, didn't know if the LED was overkill or not.

If you do go LED you need to ensure you don't get one with the leds facing out of the top of the bulb like most. The LEDS would need to be directed out the side.

Hey man, congrats! I used it tonight . It's a great safety (and aesthetic) add on for the 370Z in my honest opinion.

Help me understand something please.

I'm confused, on 370Z's that come with the rear fog light, is the switch on the steering column or in the console?

Has anyone had any issues with the light not working when tapping the yellow line? I installed mine and it was working fine until one night when I flicked it on and heard a slight and short buzz from under the console where the relay is secured. The light in the switch went out and the rear fog isn't coming on. When the car has been off for a few minutes, something resets and the light in the switch comes back on when I turn the car on. I've checked the bulb so that's fine. Is there a method or diagram that I could follow with some Radio Shack parts that would replace the relay? I want to keep using the switch and harness (since it was $150 when I got it!!) but I don't want to shell out over $30 to the dealer for a replacement relay that could end up doing the same thing....Any thoughts/ideas appreciated!
