I bought my car pre-owned and the prior owner had turned the fog light into another brake light. Im not sure if i like it or not but most likely I'll replace it with the smoked lense.

You can use the instructions for the illuminated kick plates installation to show where and what the panels are, and how to remove them.

:iagree:
you have to remove the kick plate to get to the kick panel.
I can take some pics of the wire later if needed.

If you can post a photo that shows where the wire ends up, I would really appreciate it! Also, if it connects to the car, where does it go after that?!

You know i checked out my rear foglight and there and there it was the existing wire looks like it meant for the fog light..

So I looked under my rear bumper, and what do you know, there is already a wire for the Fog Lamp! But where does it go?! It just goes inside the car, somewhere!

I think the wire only exists for the 2010 models. Does anyone know about this?

The Fog Light DIY does not mention this cable.

It doesn't have any use because US spec 370Z do not have the fog light switch on the turn signal shaft. So, it's quite pointless as SOCAL370 pointed before

I just looked under and there is a wire harness mounted next to the fog light and it runs into my trunk. There I do not know where it leads too... Anyone care to do a DIY on the 2010 coupe & roadster?? :excited:

Here's a hint...

(pull off the entire panel by removing that nut and snapping the panel out.)

:bump:
I too am trying to make use of this existing wire. Modshack's pic shows the driver's side fuse panel (which a great shot of how to install an add-a-circuit!) but not the harness from the rear fog light. Does the existing fog light harness end in the corresponding spot on the passenger side?

Using an existing (currently useless) wiring harness will save me lots of time and energy in wiring up my rear fog light.:tup:

Edit: Weird, but I found the answer to my question under a search for "heated seat switch" (thanks to wstar for his post here http://www.the370z.com/exterior-inte...t-install.html). The rear harness apparently hooks up to the BCM behind the kick cover in the p-side footwell, pin #24)!

Yes it goes to the BCM, the BCM also turns on a indication on the instrument panel when the fog light is on (headlights must be on too). Tommorow ill try a switch to see if all this works OEM stile on our Z.

I'm starting to think it will just be easier to run new wires through the armrest to the trunk...

That's what I did :tup:

ProfessorDave 11-30-2010 03:33 PM

...although, the idea of hooking up a switch of some kind to the BCM and existing wire to the light so that the dash light goes on when the fog is on....oooooh!

Seriously, I think I will likely install a 3rd heated seat switch, wire "low" to fog on continuously, wire "high" to the flash function of the EVO-R light.

That's exactly what I am working on, will let you know
