DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

Orochi · 11-30-2011, 05:49 AM

Great guide, helped me a lot when I replaced my tail lights!

When I reassembled the panels I noticed this small piece of clear plastic near the rubber moulds but could not work out where it belonged... any ideas?

^ That is a clip that goes under the hatch weather strip.

Hello. I just wanna say thanks to simota1 and mr.z as I used a lot of their info to wire in my Jdm fog . I went with a led bulb with a flasher module(makes no noise) set it up as a third tail light flashes for2 seconds when I press the brake then stays on. Looks cool and is maintainable unlike the evor light.

Where did you get the flasher module? And how'd you get it to flash for the first 2 seconds?

Thats what I want mine to do

I swapped my cheap flasher for one of these. Blinking Smart Stop - Flashing Brake Light

It works great. Six quick flashes then on solid. If you release the brake and step bac on within eight seconds it doesn't flash again.

So what options are there for when the fog light goes on? Does it go on with the brake lights, when you reverse, or both? I would like to have it come on for braking and reverse.

Sorry if this was covered, but that's a long thread to go through.

Thanks!

I also noticed int he last pic of the write up where the fog light is on, that the light under the spoiler is not on. Is that a result of the fog light?

You can install it both ways by tapping into the harness in the trunk for 1) braking, and 2) reverse

I got my flasher module and led from autolumination . As for the harness I bought one but it was defective. Luckily I found one at work that fit perfectly.

I have a quick question. I just got my 370z recently and i see that part i have in the back of my car, but it doesn't seem to do anything. What does this do if its hooked up?

How did you just get your 370 recently when in this post you said you got it 2 years ago (when you were 16). It honestly doesn't matter but it is just a bit odd.

How old were you when you bought your z
