Already read the fog light DIY...

i think somone just drilled out where the circule is (the location where the bulb holder goes in on the fog lamp version housing) and used a standard 192 or some socket and made their reflector one into a fog lamp.

unfortunately my car is a 09 and it came with the darkened butt plug. i had to buy a new fog lamp assembly for mine. AND my car did not have the prewired harness. i made my own.

Do you still have the black fog light? I wanted to switch from my red one.

Most of the black ones do not survive removal. Nissan uses a lot of loctite on the bolts.

Do you know where I could get my hands on one? Looked on ebay but there only seems to be the red ones.

Don't need it to actually function as a fog light, just wanted the black look instead of the red. I think it flows better with the 40th ann paint.
