Default Existing Fog Lamp Wires!
(I hope that this is not in the wrong section...)

So I looked under my rear bumper, and what do you know, there is already a wire for the Fog Lamp! But where does it go?! It just goes inside the car, somewhere!

I think the wire only exists for the 2010 models. Does anyone know about this?

Is it connected to the fog light replacement?
Or is it maybe a wire for your trunk lock or license plate light?

It is a wire that is clearly meant for the Fog Light, but I don't know where it goes. I mean, it MUST be connected to something, somewhere!

The Fog Light DIY does not mention this cable.

I am sorry but I do not have a camera at the moment. Just put your head under your rear bumper with a flashlight and you will see it.

Maybe there is also a switch connection in your mid console?

Unless, you have a Canadian, European, or Asian market 370Z the fog light is connected to nothing, zip, nada. If you live in the one of the markets above then on your turn signal stalk is another rotating bezel that turns the fog light on and off. The one shown below is for a righthand drive 370Z.


DIY of complete FOG LAMP install (different than the thread I posted above)

I remember seeing that wire and thought the same thing when i was changing out my rear turn signals. I never did chase down the wire though. I do remember that harness that was attached to nothing.

It doesn't have any use because US spec 370Z do not have the fog light switch on the turn signal shaft. So, it's quite pointless as SOCAL370 pointed before

I just looked under and there is a wire harness mounted next to the fog light and it runs into my trunk. There I do not know where it leads too... Anyone care to do a DIY on the 2010 coupe & roadster??

I'm starting to think it will just be easier to run new wires through the armrest to the trunk...
