Say it ain't so... Nismo Foglight Install

OTW Z-Boy · 03-26-2016, 11:51 PM

Hiya,

Searched and searched but couldn't find confirmation...

Do you have to take the rear bumper off the Nismo 370z to get the fog light installed?

There's no way possible to get at the lower nut of the fog with all the additional braces tried swivel socket boxed wrench and no go.

Please help forum friends. Thanks

Yep, I'm looking specific for the Nismo Install. The diffuser bracing is making the lower nut impossible.

Sorry. My bad.

FTW... I say yes you do.

I'm going for it.

Well that wasn't so bad.

Inside of bumper has a lot more bracing.

Mainly this which is the cause to today's events.

I win.

Doing this with out the bumper removed I suppose is doable but they are better than me if they can pull it off.

Side benefit will be an easier and cleaner splice into the license plate lights

OTW Z-Boy · 03-27-2016, 01:40 PM

Used these to splice the wire.

Little magic...

And what goes here?
