Do It Yourself Fog Lamp (EASY)

Did the fog light install today. I couldn't remove the two nuts. So frustration set in and I cracked the dummy lens and drilled out the plastic holding the screws.

The dummy fog light is pretty tricky, just be patient, relax take it easy or else you will break something.

It’s not hard, when un-bolting the plate and removing the dummy fog lamp it gets a little tricky but nothing major, should take about 15-20 minutes for a complete install. To remove the dummy lamp just be patient or else you will brake something.

Here is a trick.

Take a small butane torch head up both nuts on the back of the fog light. Than spray either some creepier oil or wd40 on them for about 5 seconds each. Let them sit for about 30 seconds and than take them off.

Default Quick question

I noticed that the invisicord wire is connected to the light for the license plate but where do I connect it to the jdm fog light? I know it has a wire connected to the back of it but that doesn't look like the same one where he connects the invisicord wire. Thanks.

Did this install today and it works perfect and it's my first Mod on my Z. Thanks laserblueprint. Also for anyone wondering what to do with the excess wires you can actually tuck em between the fog light cover facing up towards the license plate. Hard to understand what I'm saying but once you're there you'll see what I mean. will take pics and post later for reference.

The wires you connect to after the license plate light is the back of the female connector attached to the fog lights harness.
