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

josemartinrea · 09-28-2017, 02:14 PM

Has anyone tried to wire the switch to light up Nismo DRLs independently? Sorry to bring up an old thread.

Getting ready to hook up rear fog light.Have not decided if I hook up as brake light,back up light or as just a fog light.I have a roadster with heated and cooled seats.The place most people put switch is taken.Does anyone know on the non USA cars where the factory puts the switch on such cars.Does anyone have a pic?
Thanks

I believe the switch is located on the stalk of right hand drive versions.

Thank You
I will try a different route.Would be odd having your controls fliped with right hand drive.

I was considering this, but decided against it. Not only because of the flip in controls but also because I couldn't confirm if the new stalk was plug and play.

Found the part number for Canadian stalk switch. 25560-1ea1e
Has to come from Canadian dealer.Controls would be on correct side.As to plug and play or not only one way to find out.

Sweet find! Wonder how much they want for it? I also imagine the wiring will have to be installed and tied in. Wonder how difficult it is to tie in to the stalk?

The part number will only show up in Canada Nissan.I ordered one today.Their inventory did not show one in Canada.I do not know how long it will take to get.
I will take pics and notes.Will see.May be easy install.May have to make a lot of changes.

You might check the FSM for pinouts on the connector. I think SouthArk370z has a link in his signature.

I saw there have been posts about doing this in the past.Would like to hear from someone how has done this.
Also my car is a 2016 and the part # 25560-1EA1E.
Looks like there was a change in 2014.The pre 14 cars use part #255601EAOC
If someone else is going to order make sure to check part with Canadian dealer.

Has been interesting trying to hook up as stock.Everything is wired up.Not yet working.Local Nissan dealer told me BCM has to be set to tell it has rear fog light.Middle of winter here.I will check this when weather is nice.If this does not work I wire direct to switch.

Hopefully all of your time and effort will pay off.

Do not have to reprogram BCM.Fuses into the 2 empty slots and works like factory.
