I think you guys are exemplifying why they left it out of the US model :p

It's not a brake light, it's not a tail-light, it's not an OMFG Look At My Car Dude light, it's a Fog Light. You don't want it on at other times, only in low visibility conditions.

Some people are obsessed with anything you cant have normally. I wouldnt be surprised if some people in Japan seriously want to black it out for a more "stealth" look lol.

Does that mean we have heated mirrors in our NA cars. If so, do they come on with the defrost button or heated back window button? Very interesting as it had been previously stated that we don't have heated rear view mirrors in NA nor is it mentioned in sales brochure.

No, we do not have it in our current NA model 370Zs. It looks to be a precursor of options to come.

Well, I've actually ordered the rear fog light from the Z Store...as they are out of stock (there are apparently coming from Japan) it will be 3-4 weeks before I actually have it in hand with a chance to install.

I'm not sure where I'm going to wire it yet but I'm probably going to try using the installed harness with a rocker switch in the center counsol so that I can control when it's on...I'd say this is a good option to have in pre-dawn and twilight conditions as well as fog.

I'll let you all know how it turns out!

I ordered the fog light wiring harness from Japan. Not sure how it works.
Will let you know when I get it.

Our wiring harness in the US is already set up for the fog light. It's run all the way from the fake unit in the rear to the BCM module up in the passenger footwell. We just don't have the switch on our steering column to turn it on (or the actual bulb/unit at the back).

This will be an aftermarket harness made for the US models.

Any update on this thread?

looks like no updates yet. can't believe it takes this long for some store to figure out on selling and installing this item, it's rediculous, it's just a small rear fog light at the back :mad:

Has anyone received and installed the light yet?

JDM_ED has the rear light installed, saw it last night at the Houston meetup, but he hasn't wired up a switch to use it yet.

I'm happy to report that my working J Spec rear fog light has been installed and is working quite well.

I had a dealer do the actual work but it was a fairly painless - we ordered a spare "heated seat" switch to put in the center (unused) space between the driver and passenger heated seat switches and it works perfectly.

The light came from motorsportauto.com plus the cost of the switch (about $17) and about two hours of labor.

I don't know how often I'll ever actually use the rear fog but the real thing is a lot more attractive than the dummy unit our American spec cars get plus it's nice to know the light is there if conditions warrant using it.

This is the "dummy unit" that was removed. The differences between the dummy unit and the functional unit is primarily the lens itself and the bulb assembly.

The "center" switch is the switch that controls the rear fog - it is a "heated" seat switch and occupies a space that is usually empty (covered by a "blank" switch cover - no cutting was required).

Functional Unit installed but turned off

This is the unit turned on - it will only operate if the car is running.

These images were taken with my camera phone and not in the best lighting conditions but hopefully they are good enough to give everyone an idea of what the unit looks like installed and turned on!

Pricing please
 

Could you please post or PM a price for install from the dealership. Thanks
