I think I F'd up! I didn't turn the 2 bolts that hold light in place softly enough, and now they both just keep turning and not getting any looser.

What color is a power accessory wire you taped into? I have a base 2011.
I tapped into a yellow wire that always receives power and I have to manually turn the radar on/off every time I get into/out of the car. |

Radar mount
Here are some pics of my radar setup. I am using the BlendMount radar clip. It connects to the stem of the rearview. The power wire is a Blendmount as well and plugs into the harness of the rearview. Very easy and clean!

Read fog light & parking lights
Sorry, Rear not Read!
Hi to all, I see some good ideas and like to ask a question. Can someone tell me which color hot wire go to the parking lights. I see brown, green, light green and purple. I have a new 2012 370Z Touring Roadster and love it. Checking out this site after buying it two weeks ago, I got the light and think I can tap in to the parking light. Any help with this..... Thanks! mrlou2 Last edited by mrlou2; 11-18-2011 at 11:56 PM. |

If you do this mod please follow this tip. Do not try and loosen the two nuts holding in the light assembly before heating them. I took the advice and heated them up with a butane lighter for about 15 seconds. I did not even need a tool to remove them. I just used a socket and my bare hands!

Has anyone else ran into this issue using the yellow accessory wire? Im about to install and rather not run into this problem and use the red if it will avoid head aches. |

I ended up fixing it, took everything back out and reinstalled using solder instead of crimps. Must have had a bad connection somewhere when I first installed it, works just fine now with the yellow wire tapped, no problems.

Checking out the rear plug for the fog lite today and noticed right next to the plug is a female connector just sitting there. Any chance this could be a pre wired connector to the fog light?
Thanks |

Fog Light Install
New to site, please bear with me. Received fog light and harness today for install tomorrow. Great pics and details however, how do I identify accessory power wire in dash? Kit didn't come with wiring diagram. Thanx, jrap

Using existing Tan/Black wire coupling at fog lamp housing
Why isn't the existing tan/black wiring coupling, which is clipped to the light housing, powered with the brake lights or otherwise. Is it merely in the harness to be tied to switch if used in European or Asian markets?
Has anybody tapped the light mint green brake light wire to the tan wire for ease of installation and powered that wire directly? |

2013 Rear Fog light cables
I have a 2013 Z and I know Nissan made a few tweaks here and there. Keep in mind I know very little about the electrical harness in my car. However I have posted some pics of the harness with connectors under the cup holder area. Please check them out and let me know if you think the car is already wired for the fog light? There also appears to be a plug in the rear above the blank fog light already fixed in place.
