I was looking for info on installing factory fog lights on an S model. I just bought the lights and bezels. Also purchased the 3' wire harness and dash switch. So far the cost is 350.00 . Going to attempt install this weekend. Just looking for any pointers from anyone.
Thanks......

Well I did it.... I was able to install the factory fog lights on my
"2006 Murano S" and it took less than 3 hours. I did a google search for the Nissan service manual and was able to buy a PDF version called "2006 NISSAN MURANO WORKSHOP SERVICE/REPAIR MANUAL" for 19.95 . It gave me details on how to install the lights. The website for the manual was called "tradebit.com". I purchased all the parts from "BuyNissanParts.com".
The wire harness for the lights is accessed by removing the inner fender wells. It's about 4 clips and 5 phillip screws.The car comes pre-wired for the fogs. You just have to plug in the quick connect harness from the fog light itself you buy from Nissan.The connectors are located on the opposite side of the inner wells. As soon as you remove the inner well, they will be mounted in plain site. The manual said to remove the bumper to install but it was not needed. The hardest part of the job was removing the multi function light switch "turn signal" .. To remove the switch you have to remove the upper and lower cover just forward of the steering wheel. "4 screws".The lower portion was tough getting back on. The switch itself
has 2 quick release tabs that allow you to remove it. The guys at Nissan said without the new switch,"auto light feature",, the fog lights would not turn on. That was the added bonus I did not plan on. After
everything was buttoned back up I realized that the auto light feature worked.
I don't know why Nissan did not include fog lights in the S model. It wouldn't have bothered me so, but the bumper had 2 cutout holes with ugly black plastic covers. The front of the car always looked like something was missing. Now it looks complete The whole job was right at about 350.00...
The parts I used were:

a - Fog light assembly's L&R
b - Bezels for lights L&R
c - 2 wire harnesses for fog lights
d - Muti function switch "turn Signal"

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I have wanted to install fog lights on my Murano S as well. Since you already did it, I'd like to ask you couple of questions regarding the fog lights you got from that site:

1. Do the lamps have a clear "white light" or are they "yellowish" type?

2. Do you consider that the "auto-light" switch is actually necessary/required to activate the fog lamps?

3. If so, what is the name of the switch in the site. I cannot manage to find it. The most likely one I have seen is an item called "Auto headlamp ctrl", but it doesn't have illustration. Is that the one that is needed?

I appreciate a lot your help on this. Thanks.

By the way, have you installed white lights in the headlamps?

1- The Fog lights are clear and " bright",. No yellow at all in them. They
are OEM.
2- According to Nissan, the Auto Light switch is necessary P/N#25540-
CB61A... "Switch-ASSM"...65.00. There is some kind of smart controller
that looks for the switch, which allows the fog lights to turn on.

I still have the original head lights on the car. For me they are bright enough especially now, with the addition of the fog lights... If you have any other questions let me know.
I hope this helps.

I am new to this forum so thanks for your time. I have a
2007 Murano S model. I see that you have the 2006 Murano S model
and installed oem factory fog lights and automatic headlights using
the oem stalk switch with " auto headlight feature. " Did you have to
install the light sensor on the dash also to get this working? I ordered
all the parts from my dealership. I am hoping this will work. According
to what you have done with your 06' Murano it worked for you.(auto headlight feature).

Thanks,
Jim

I did not install a light sensor on the dash. I wasn't aware of that being a factor for the auto light feature to function properly. I know that after the install, the lights would be on when I left the switch in the "auto" position, while driving night or day.. I figured it was a daytime driving light option. I know that when I turned the vehicle off, the lights would turn off by themselves after about 1 min.
I don't have another Murano to compare. If anyone has anymore info let us know...
Thanks...........

I hooked up the optical sensor on the dash. Ordered
it from my dealership. There is a white plug under the
dash that is taped to some wires. I just untaped it and
brought it up and thru the the dash(removed the tab on
the dash). I also ordered the piece that surrounds the
sensor from the dealership. It works perfectly.

Have a good day

I see a "Sun Load Sensor" (about $40) and a "Light Sensor Auto Headlamp Ctrl" for 3X that amount. Ouch.

Answers to your questions:

1) Your Welcome
2) Just ask the dealer to look it up. It is the optical sensor
for auto headlamp for a SL Model. Yes, it is around $110.00
dollars.
3) No, you do not have to take apart the dash or anything. The sensor
plug is taped to some wires under the driver side. Just crawl under the
driver side and look up and you will see it there. Untape it and fish
it up through the opening on the dash.

Have a good day.

Second question, Does anyone know another website that all these things can be purchased at and where to get the optical sensor?
