Rear Fog

nogoodname · 02-03-2009, 11:02 PM

^^^ lazy ppl ruined it for us..............i'm sure we can buy the pieces for it....well, later on

time to ask Mike at Boardwalk Nissan for part numbers.....lol

i dont like how the mold is there in the bumper, but's it's a fake rear fog.............I would want the real deal, so the mold in the bumper serves a purpose and doesn't just look weird and do nothing at all......lol

I am def in for that mod. I did the rear fog mod on my MINI S.

nogoodname · 02-03-2009, 11:11 PM

^^ maybe Igor (the headlight mod guy) can make a setup for it and not too expensive

I'd rather have a functional 3rd taillight there. The visibility rarely gets poor enough to warrant a rear fog where I live (minus the two snow storms we just had).

nogoodname · 02-04-2009, 10:05 PM

^^ snow storms here all the time, would most likely be covered with snow and slush most of the time....lol.......you know how it is...the rears always get super dirty

not to mention all the salt stains...........

My friend had this on his A4 and it was obnoxious! So please... don't copy the VAG kids, if you get a rear fog, only use it when necessary...

I only use my rear fogs on my A4 when I need them, or when some idiot is tailgating me ... fun to watch them slam brakes on when I hit the rear fogs.

Still looking to find out it it's prewired (most likely is) and if the red lens will be available. Biggest issue is there's no switch inside. I think it would be where the empty template is between the heated seat switches on the arm console. If you have to wire the whole thing up, might not be worth it. Keep me posted if someone knows how to do this mod easily.

Haha my bad,

but from what i've seen Z's and G's are useless in snow. We only had 6 inches and I saw 2 G coupes abandoned on the highway and covered in brown snow from the snow plows haha.

You put these cars away in the cold months. Our 350 gets it blankie in early November and stay in warm storage until late April or early May. These cars are not designed for snow and ice and are just plain dangerous in these conditions. (Summer tires don't help either)

Does anyone know of a reflector that can replace the black plate (i have a black z)? Where the fog lite would go if there was a fog lite.

joeyz10 · 03-21-2009, 09:57 PM

it wont be a DOT no no because european cars have it here in the US. My Range Rover has it and can be turn on so with my wife's E350 Mercedes

joeyz10 · 03-21-2009, 10:15 PM

Yes there is a reflector available in Canada. I called one of the Vancouver Nissan dealerships and they faxed me the part number and price. I think it was 55 dollars. With regards to the switch I think we have to replace the stalk for the light switches. I just hope there is a wiring for the US version.

The stalk changeout will prove hard, if the wiring harness as no provisions for the fog light. I guess one could use the vacant middle center console switch (vacant on the touring model) for activation, but you would have to purchase the appropriate switch.
