Rear fog light from the '13 370Z reflector

I just upload some pictures of the conversion process of my '13 370Z reflector to a fog light, without the need to buy a new light and/or JDM switch. Thanks

Thanks to carlitos_370z to provide me the contact info of his electromechanic. I hope it helps clarify any doubts and help people save some money using the actual reflector on '13 370Z.

Thanks again carlitos_370z!!!!!

En mi caso es montar el foglight, so la parte de modificar el reflector no aplica.

You need to buy the light and connector you will see at the right of the reflector on the link below. That ligth and connector came from a Nissan Pathfinder.
