Why can I not find the harness on the 370Zsource.com? Are they not available yet, or is it a special order thing, or a have to call into the store? Any suggestions?

theDreamer 01-17-2010 02:49 PM

Currently they only have limited supply, you have to email/call to order one. The next shipment will be a larger order and I think they will add it to the website then.

I also need just the switch!! But I have no clue where to get it! Anybody knows where?? or the Part number??

I allready have the fog light installed with a 3rd braking light option... but sometimes it attracts to much attention from the cops... So I would like the switch to be able to turn it off...

Thanks!

I just want the switch.

TreeSemdyZee 01-20-2010 11:00 PM

My concern is the overall expense. How much extra for the "cat" scan? :icon17:



edit: In case anyone was wondering, they've dropped the price on the light drastically recently. $60. Down from $134.

ae370z 01-25-2010 11:28 PM

Hey so I'm a newb, and I have the harness/fog light from the Z-store, how do I wire it through the arm rest like you did, and then where does the positive wire tap into.....i.e. which one is accessory power (+)? Is it one of the wires tucked away at the bottom underneath the AC? I managed to follow the other DIY about getting the dash and radio off, but got stuck at the faceplate to the radio/ac....mine won't budge and I'm afraid I'll break it? I think I removed all the screws. Please help.

I took off the center console and tapped the yellow wire that goes to the cigarette lighter. It's accessory so it will only give power while the car is on. Also that system to the lighter is made for additional powered items so adding a light won't be an issue.

Lol you just made me realize there was a second cigarette lighter under the little plastic change thing. I was like oh shat look at that. All this time I thought the only one was under the glove, and would bitch everytime I had to change out devices. Hahaha thanks dude. I got it to work w/ you guys' help. :icon14:

I'm glad it worked out for you. My installer (Matt) tapped into the Red accessory wire from the head unit.

chrishfic 03-05-2010 03:35 AM

I just installed my fog light and harness and it works great. Did u guys disconnect the battery before doing the install? I
asking because after I plugged my battery back up my windows have been acting up. Usually when u open n close the door the window moves down and then back up when you close the door. Now it goes down but doesn't go back up. So if I repeatedly open n close my door my window gets lower n lower. Help please.

schrute 03-05-2010 03:48 AM

Window Issue. Anyone else?

neveucd 03-06-2010 04:40 PM

Just search the forums for window reset and do what the first link says to reset. Whatever u do don't take it to the dealer like I did the first time and have them rip u off. Very easy fix.

scorpion90 03-26-2010 08:44 AM

AK,
I bought this harness and am going to do the install myself but am a little confused on exactly where the hot lead was picked up in the dash board. Is there a red lead wire available in the dash or what? The picture isn't close enough for me to see exactly where the wire is picked up from. thanks as always a great jog

After reading the above posts, I just used the yellow and black wire to the second power outlet and put in a molex connector to attach the harness. Worked out well and looks just like AK's installation. By the way the relay used in my harness was Nissan part number 25230-7996A. The harness makes the install much simpler.

fairlady_Z 04-04-2010 12:23 PM

AK, can you also PM me where you got the harness/switch? THANKS! :tiphat:

Me too. I can find the light on their site but no switch or harness. Thanks!:tup:

CWofRR 05-04-2010 03:42 PM

whats the difference between the one you got and the jspec one?

Joka4411 05-09-2010 12:32 AM

Nice job, but can anyone please tell me the reason for this fog like? i hope i wont have to drive backwards in the fog.

CBRich 05-09-2010 07:15 AM

It is a brighter light than the standard tails to help people see you on foggy or rainy days. It keeps you from getting rear ended.

TreeSemdyZee 05-09-2010 08:54 AM

Same reason as front fog lights. It sits low to be better visible in the fog and rain.

LunaZ 05-14-2010 06:56 AM

My only complaint with this setup is that there is no indication as to whether the light is on or off.
Other than that, I love how factory it looks.

fisherg 05-21-2010 04:23 PM

Has anyone located a source for the steering column stalk switch assembly (left hand drive) with the fog light switch present? I have found the right hand drive stalk (courtesyparts.com) but not the left hand version.

ummie4 05-22-2010 02:32 PM

Here is a picture of the largest harness in the back of a bose audio unit (top drivers side connector). I took it right from the service manual. My question is which wire do I tap into to get power to the fog light?

My first instinct is the #19 large yellow wire
then I thought about #7 blue wire

can anyone confirm which one to use?

No need to answer the previous post. Just got my light working.

There is no need to remove the radio. Next to the shifter where the original poster recommended attaching the ground wire, there are a few wires wrapped in electrical tape. They run right along the inside of the center console piece on the DRIVER'S side. Push the clips back through the hole to free up the wires. Peel back the electrical tape and splice your power wire of the wiring harness into the YELLOW wire.

These wires run to the center console power outlet. Some previous posters were using this to power the light. Just wanted to share so that people don't pull off there center console because it is not needed.

LunaZ 05-22-2010 07:29 PM

I tapped into the tail lights. I was running wires back there anyway...

red6spd 07-08-2010 10:51 PM

AK did you use the red clip thing the relay came with to tap into the power source???
