DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

Gianni

I want to install the rear fog light on my Z but I need to know if it is legal to have 4 brake lights? Can the 4 brake lights be on at the same time or is that illegal? I'm in Arizona btw.

Does anybody know the gauge wire of the tail lights? Nissan uses a really fine wire gauge and I need to buy some extra wire the same gauge to clean up the installation

Does "anyone" have instructions for THIS type of Rear Tail Light?
It has Running / Brake / Back-up functions

ThankZ in AdvanZ

I just got done installing this exact one actually. I used OP's instructions on how to access the wiring and everything.

If it's the exact one I got, then the rear tail light will have 4 wires. Red, Green, White, and Black.

The 370z's tailight has 5 wires. Red, Green, a tan/peach color, a teal color, and a black color.

Splice the wires like this.

Red -> Red
Green -> Green
White -> Tan/Peach color.
Black -> Ground

I'm 99% sure its White -> Tan/peach. It's the wire right next to the red wire.

I did hit a snag with getting the 2 10mm bolt from the dummy light. What I ended up doing was using a drill and just drilled it at max speed for a few seconds. It'll end up melting the plastic a little bit and it'll come right off.

Thanks for posting this DIY Simota1. Finished install yesterday. Bought the fog light from Z1 Motorsports. It was simple to install and thank goodness my 2 10mm bolts on the dummy light didn't have locktight. Used the green wire on my passenger side taillight as a power source. Using as a brake light and works great!

How did you guys wire it at the back of the bumper? did you guys add some kind of insulation?

JMZ

Are you asking how to secure it? If so, I used zip ties to secure it to the rear bumper. Make sure it's far enough away from the exhuast. Don't want it to get hot and melt. LOL.

The cable i have just goes accross from the middle to the rear light. Can i ask for a picture on how it looks like under?

Thanks for the nice write up. I found that I didn't need to remove the left taillight to access the wires. Instead I used Posi-Tap, which is a great product. If for some reason you decide to change back simply unscrew the tap. The wire to tap is the green one on a '14.

I'd post a pic, but it's on my C drive not a URL.

Got my fog-light in the mail! Going to use this guide when I get back home. (2 more weeks )
