'13 Rear fog light

Stage · 09-07-2013, 09:26 AM

Hi there!

I saw a few post concerning the replacement of the US rear black bumper plug with the real fog light. Never even looked at it before seeing the post here. But then walking to my car in the garage I noticed that mine was already red. I was like "wouhou!" The previous owner installed the real fog light ! Then got under the car and saw that it only a fake red plug :/ probably a new think on 13's I guess. Anyway looking down there I saw a electric connector just next to it that is not used. So I took off the cup holder inside the car and noticed 2 unused electric plugs. Can someone tell me if one of those plug is going to that rear fog light ? So I would just need the switch and the light itself and not the complete harness with relay ?

Here are some pics that I took.

Thank you! Well I didn't have a computer nearby and advance search options aren't available for tapatalk on this forum so searching from the app is not really helpful. Will do an effort to do the search on a pc next time!

Take a look at a thread i create about it. I converted the existing one on my '13 370z. Is easy and quick.

Rear fog light from the '13 370Z reflector

The previous owner did not install that. All 2013's come with the red reflector. Like somebody has posted up above you can convert the 2013 reflector to become a functional rear fog light. Or you can just get a real fog light for about $53.00. Here is a link to the cheapest place you can buy the rear fog light from. Authentic 26580-1EL1ANissan JDM 370Z Rear Fog Light - Z34 - Nissan performance parts
And hook it up to that plug back there. I believe the 2011-2013 have the built in harness and is partially plug and play. As far as the switch you would need to buy and follow the DIYs to hook up to the BCM to have it function like it was intended to. Or just buy the harness for like $170.00 (plug and play) and call it a day. Here is the link to that Motorsport! Rear Fog Light Harness & Illuminated Switch, 09-12 370Z - The Z Store!

There are lots and lots of DIYs on how one prefers to wire up the rear fog.
