Rear JDM/Euro Fog Install

Diversion · 06-04-2009, 11:13 PM

Installed my JDM/Euro rear fog light today....

Noticed you basically need to drop the muffler to access it easily.. So I did.. The bottom right nut was STRIPPED and I had to tear up the black box that covers the dummy fog light they give us in the States and rip out the stripped nut.. luckily I didn't tear it up to the point where I couldn't still use the bottom right nut again for the new Fog.

One thing I want to mention is that I've yet to see someone actually talk about that there's a harness plugged into the dummy box (obviously not being used). I haven't actually plugged into it yet but does anybody know if there's power going to this harness? Looks like they left the rear fog light harness for provisioning purposes but terminated it at the end.

Wonder where it's going to? Center console hopefully for the OEM rear fog light switch?

Pictures of the fog will come tomorrow!

Bump for thoughts about the factory harness?

From the earlier threads it seems the wiring goes to the BCM up front.

Hmm.. Well i'm working on ordering in a JDM fog light switch to go between the heated seat switches and i'll see what I can do I suppose. That wiring should be easy to tap into.. and it's fantastic Nissan was so kind to leave us the harness at the fog...

Looking at this image from courtesyparts it seems as if all the wiring from the back of the car runs together on the driver's side near the door sill. It may be possible to trace that wiring somewhere closer to where you need to run it.
