How's it coming with the Fog light on indicator I bought the JDM stalk and the indicator did not come on so I went back to my under dash switch to power my rear fog.I would like to be able to see the indicator light work.

Yeah , they have it but you still have to run a wire from connector # M-7 which is a lever type release. In the middle of that connector you will find a blue colored section. Just below the red wire is the socket for pin # 45, that where the the wire for the fog lights gose. From there you need to run the wire to the back of the car, (you will need to remove the center garnish panel and the left hand side garnish panel in the trunk area along with the spare tire and so forth). My car did not come wired from the M-7 connector to the trunk. I don't know what the courtesy kit comes with but I can tell you that the car is not wired for the rear fog light from the bottom of the dash to the rear of the car. My mod went completely different, 1st I purchased a fog light from ebay, 2nd I purchased a 2009 nissan murano combination switch assy that comes with the fog light switch already on the correct side of the column. 3rd opened the combonation switch and added a diod and cut the blue wire and changed its location to be compatible with the output signal of the 370z.4th. cut the additional wires for the rear wiper and tucked them back. Installed the Murano combination switch and whalahhh its works. NOTE !!! I purched water tight connector from MOUSER electronics online to make the connections to the rear fog light.

Just curious, is there any reason that it would need to be off?

If I were to do mine...I'd want the following

1) Lights on - fog light is on "low"
2) Lights on, brakes on - flash between "low" and "high"
3) Lights off - fog off
4) Lights off, brakes on - flash between "low" and "high"

I wouldn't need an on/off switch in that sense, and I imagine that with two taps off the brake lights, it'd be easy enough to do?

I wonder why people would buy a stalk for right hand drive.
They have the fog light in Europe, so there must be a left hand drive version as well
