Of course, you'll either need a wiring diagram for the vehicle or do a lot of "hunting" for the wire's termination in the cab.

I wonder if the "switch" for the rear fog is designed to be on the stalk (with the headlights) or if it's a stand alone rocker switch on the dash somewhere???

Nissan has been doing "automatic" fog lights for a while. There's no switch. When the computer detects fog, it turns the fog lights on. There MAY be an Auto/Off switch, but there isn't going to be an On switch. My neighbors G35MT6 had no clue how it did it, but it was all automatic.

Somewhere on this board (or the "other" one) there is a PDF of the entire owners manual (not sure if USDM or otherwise) that clearly talks about using the foglamp "on" selector found on the turn signal/headlight stalk.

Since the USDM cars do not have this stalk (and thus the on/off selector), it will have to be bought if wanting the OEM look.

On my current Nissan, I have fogs and have a stalk that allows me to selct fogs on/off. I'd imagine this is how the rear fog wold also work. I could see some type of auto on/off on the Infinity's, but to have them add the auto system on the Nissan brand just seems out of character.

Yeah, in the owners manual it shows you how to turn it on on the headlight/turn blinker stalk.
