Front fog lights

Pat C.

Sitting here with my laptop looking out at around -10F. Gunmetal gray Z is safely parked in garage. Have a few things I'm wanting to do over the next few months to it. First, is finish with the sound deadening by pulling door panels off. Second, is to see if anyone knows about putting fog lights on the front of these cars.
Haven't seen anything on this, but know how nice it would be to have this additional lighting option....
Appreciate whatever you can offer.

You can only fit a pretty small one in the slot next to the fangs. Seen a pic of Z with those and they look terrible IMO.

not that i am suggesting this bumper, but you can use it as a reference to what the Z will look like with fog lights.

Don't put foglights on our Zs? Kidding me? This looks yummy! Mid Night International? I can't seem to find any details on this company.

That's actually made by abflug, the kit's called vanguard...
Maybe midnight international could have been a shop who installed the kit.

did i tell the OP to not get fog lights?

Mr_Z

Could you tell me where you saw the pics of the small foglights in the little slot next to the fangs? I'm curious. thx!

Please don't put foglights on a Z, leave that fad in 1997 where it belongs.

So I take this as not be applicable and certainly not up to other member's expectations? Sorry folks,but would like to have as much lighting on the front of mine as possible. Ever had a 1 ton moose walk out in front of you? Fogs do a much better job of lighting up the outside corners.....
Thanks....

In your case it is definitely function over form.. I've heard the stories and have family that live in Alaska.. Not to mention living in mostly darkness for months at a time. I think for most people its not something that is needed, its more for show but in your case I'll agree.. Z Vs 1000lb animal.. Better to avoid that at all costs..

I really don't get why fog lights are so hated. It's just a matter of installing in the right spot and a type that doesn't look like you got it at Autozone. It need to look OEM.

The Nissan DRL's don't look too bad. I kind of like them actually, just a bit pricey.

its not that fog lights are hated, its the way the bumper is designed, i personally think that fog lights only look good if they flow well with the headlights.. and day time running lights =/= fog lights

now..



this is probably the best spot for a fog light and as you can see, only a tiny fog light can fit in it unless you have them custom made/fitted

now imagine the output of the headlights and the fog lights, the fog lights will be two tiny dots at night and i will not help on looks nor enhance the brightness output by a lot. IMHO

It's hard to place a pair fogs on the 370z's front end and make it still look amazing imo.

Fog lights are kinda silly with HIDs now... most people won't need more than the light they can produce. I think every one of my pre 2006 cars I have owned came with fogs (or the option for) but manufacturers are dropping it since they are sort of unnecessary I guess.

My thoughts exactly, my lights are plenty bright but OP lives in Alaska so he might have a different situation.
