Rear fog light
 

Can anyone help with the (fog light ??) at the rear of the Z. It is just below the Licence plate. I would like to have this operational but not sure about parts and hookup. I was told by the dealer this is a fog light used in Japan. Can I make it work in the US?

Congrats and Welcome! :hello:
I don't know how much this would Help? but here are two threads on the DiY install for the Standard Model your version maybe be different. Unfortunately not to many roadster owners have done this to have a DiY for your particular model. Unless someone with a Roadster can Chime in with this Mod to help :tiphat:.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new 370z. You have joined one of the arguably, best car communities in the world.

At Z1, we offer an installation kit with wiring harness, instructions, diagram etc for around $18 without the fog light. The installation is simple and can generally be completed within an hour or so.

Check out our kit and JDM fog light here:

Z1 Motorsports JDM Reverse Fog Light and JDM Reverse Fog Light Installation Kit

The switchable harnesses will run you around $100+. Our kit is much more afforable and does not require a massive amount of time and removal of interior panels.

Again WELCOME!

I found a DiY for your Roadster.

zdad, I saw in the 370z forum I think you can use the wire from your license plate light to make it like a taillite. may not be legal, and i guess could overheat?????

USDM Z isn't pre-wire for fog? All I would need is foglight harness kit and rear fog?

It's pre-wired. You can get the Nissan JDM kit, but the stalks will be reversed. There are other alternatives such as wiring where it basically stays on with the lights or install a kit the comes with wires to a rocker switch. Check out Z1 motorsports and do a search on the forum. This topic has been well covered. Welcome to the forum.

Real rear fog light at this site:

and I'm trying to tap in to the parking light with the standard harness wires on the right side of the rear fog light housing. Also check out this site for more info:

I need to find out which color wire to use. You can see the main harness junction in the trunk. I'll post my finding in a week or two.

Orange for Brakes / Light green for Parking

If remember correctly

Finish rear light
 

Thanks for reply, but I use the license plate wire (RED) and all is great!

Test fail

Thank you!

If you are deadset of getting the turn signal stalk to include the fog lights. See about getting the Canadian-spec switch. You might be able to call up a dealership across the border and have it shipped over. The Canadian-spec models are LHD and have the Reverse Fog Light from the factory.

I don't have a part number, but it should be pretty easy for a dealership to source.

Is US ver 370z already pre-wired for rear fog? Many say that our car in US isn't pre-wired. I look behind the rear bumper and I see a wire harness plugged, assuming it is pre-wired. Thank for your helpful info Dustin.

It's pre-wired :)

Here's a link to another store Courtesy Nissan, but if you can find left hand drive version, I would go with that.

Nissan JDM Rear Fog Lamp Kit - 2009 370Z :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com

Yup, the USDM 370Z's are pre-wired. I have not looked into it indepth, but even the NISMO Edition 370Z's are pre-wired for the reverse fog light. The JDM NISMO 370Z's just use a different part number for their turn signal stalk, specific to the NISMO.

Make sure you are getting either of the following for the JDM Reverse Fog:
25560-1EP0B
25560-1EP0C

I can get them if you like, PM me for pricing and availability. I am looking into the Canadian-spec options now.

The car is prewired, but the relay, fog light stalk is not on there. Most people will add a switch/relay to turn it on and off or wire it up to brake light etc.

Oh. Could you find out how much is the Canadian stalk? Please PM me when you do find out, I am very interested because all I have is the euro rear fog lamp in the box awaiting for harness switch from thezstore but they are back ordered. Thank you Dustin!

Doug

Oh, okay, thank you for your help! Have you done it yet via stalk or switch for rear fog?

Installing fog light (My way)
 

Hi,

I brought the fog light and installed it connecting to my license plate light. Use the red wire in the trunk wire harness near the license plate. Light stay on with the parking lights.

Lou

I bought the EVO-R rear fog light and spliced it into my taillight harness so that the light is on with my parking lights and flashes when my brake lights illuminate.

Parking lights on

Look great. :tup: I have same color as your Z.

:tup:The brilliant silver is a very nice color. Even the Frontier looks sporty with it.

I emailed to Canada Nissan dealership about the Canadian stalk switch for cost and if able to have it ship out as stalk alone. :stirthepot: *cross finger*

Great, let us know!

So far, I found out that the Canadian part manager said the stalk will not work on our Z because the their stalk only work for Canadian BCM module. :(

I am going to order those foglamp switch with harness.

Expensive as it seem but it worth it for cleaner look for interior.

You can buy a heated switch if not and rewire that to work with the fog light. Keeping the stock look. I think that harness is too much $$.

I think the stalk would still work, car is all prewired anyways.

Part numbers for switch assy - combination (stalk)
 

"So far, I found out that the Canadian part manager said the stalk will not work on our Z because the their stalk only work for Canadian BCM module."
That is an incorrect dealer statement (not surprising). The BCMs, left body wiring harness and main wiring harness change almost every year, but the control
stalk remains the same part number. In 2010, the USDM and MEXDM BCM part numbers matched. Basically, if you have the rear fog light wiring in your left body wiring harness, it should work.

2011 USDM (base)
wire harness, main: 24010-1TH0A
wire harness, left body: 24014-1TG0A
controller assy-BCM: 284B1-1ET6C
switch assy-combo (stalk): 25560-9N00B (this is the same stalk that CADM NISMO receive)

2011 CADM (base)
wire harness, main: 24010-1TH0A
wire harness, left body: 24014-1TG0A
controller assy-BCM: 284B1-1EJ5D
switch assy-combo (stalk): 25560-1EA0C

2011 MEXDM (touring, no base avail)
wire harness, main: 24010-1EZ0A
wire harness, left body: 24014-1EH0B
controller assy-BCM: 284B1-1EA5D
switch assy-combo (stalk): 25560-1EA0C
---------------------------------------------------------------
US stalk: 25560-9N00B (lame USDM) $170 :thumbsdown:
Canada/Mexico stalk: 25560-1EA0C (no rear wiper) :tup:
Arabian/Argentinian/Brazilian stalk: 25560-1EL0B (with rear wiper)
Euro stalk: 25560-1EL5A (daytime running lights; no rear wiper)
Euro stalk: 25560-1HA7A (daytime running lights; with rear wiper)
Japan stalk: 25560-1EP0B (RHD yo!) :ugh2:

Thanks for sharing the part number! :)
