JDM Rear Fog lamp kit from Courtesy
 
Hello fellow members,

I have been growing interest on installing a rear fog light on my Z. I know I will never really use it but putting this where it was designed to go just seams like the right thing to do :)

I was looking around and came across this kit from Courtesy. I have never seen this particular kit and wanted to share it. I also noticed they said the car is "pre-wired". Can anyone that has installed theirs Fog light confirm this?

Here is the link:

The stalk seems to be reversed for us, blinker on the right, wiper on the left. JDM

Yep, it is JDM so it was designed for right hand drive.

I don't think it would be hard to get used to?

I don't believe the car is pre-wired.
I installed the Zsource light and harness on mine.

That would be better but I just so happened to come across the JDM model. They don't carry the Canadian one as far I I know. :confused:

I am going with the switch that mounts by the heater switches. I will just make my own harness :tup:

The canadian version would do the trick but I'm not sure how to order it. If someone would kindly call a canadian dealer for us, please let us know the cost. The stalk combo switches list for $140 on Courtesy parts.

I'm wondering if my wife's Altima combo stalks would work on the Z. They have the fog light switch (front fogs), but I don't know if the switch is wired to the same BCM switch as the Z rear fog. If I can find an Altima service manual, I'll investigate.

The Canadian combo switches are still the way to go. Come on Canadian Z owners....help us out!

how about you just buy the lamp and make your own harness and switch? much easier to do imho.

The stalks are nice, but I got my switch in the center console area, around where seat heater switches and the roadster top up/down switch would be. It's the kit from ZSource.

That is what I decided to do. I already have everything I need on order, including the fog light :rock:

That kit is nice but over priced IMO. I found these that would work good even though I am doing my harness from scratch.

Way cheaper then the Zstore :tup:

nice! GL with the install. :D it's the way to go...

but shadoquad's approach is good if you have the heated seats buttons already populated in those dummy switches. then you got 3 factory switches. :p

mine's a base so only blanks... got the aftermaket rockers.

Holliday 09-17-2010 04:09 PM

I went with the Surf N Turf Rocker Switch ON/OFF with amber LED from: Rocker Switches

I already have a relay and some fusible links. I ordered a relay adapter plug harness to keep the install clean.

Kenchan- do you have any tips for the install :)
