Adding foglights - Altima Forums.net - The Nissan Altima Enthusiast Talk and Discussion Forums

I have a base model '03 Altima and just installed HID headlights and am so amazed with them. Now I want to add some foggs.
Question is--- Where to get them from and how to tie into the existing wires? Is it easy? Good thing is, there is fog holes on the bumper for them.
Another Q--- being that they will be HID. Are there HID foggs, or do I just have to change over regular fog bulbs to the HID's?

Welcome to the forums!...In the future, please try to be more aware of what forum you start your thread in. THIS would have been the correct forum.

1. There are SEVERAL places to buy fog lights from. Ebay will have many options...basic OEM replacement (exactly like OEM, only cheaper), halos, (with a lighted ring around the fog lamp housing), projectors (focuses the light beam so that it is better directed to the road and less 'scattered')...and different color options: clear, smoked, yellow, etc. All of these choices are available and will fit into the bumper cut-outs w/out having to modify anything.

Connecting them to your existing wires is superbly easy, these cars are usually wired for it already, and you may find that there are harnesses bundled up with the wiring and tucked right behind your bumper. This is what we all refer to as 'plug and play'...

2. it doesnt get any easier.

3. There are not really any such thing as "HID fogs"...but I promise...even though they don't really exist you will find plenty of people who will try to sell them to you (BUYER BEWARE). The truth is, just like with your headlights, instead of regular bulbs you will need to use ballasts, and HID bulbs.
