Anyone upgrade to super white bulbs? I did it on my '12. Was wondering if anyone had suggestions/ part numbers for bulbs.

Thanks. Anyone know if the lens covers are glass or plastic? I put Nokya 7000ks on my '12, and they got really hot but did not hurt anything, Don't want to mess up the new one. :gotme

OK, got them installed this morning. 8 screws on each side to access the lights. Took me about 10 minutes. Very Easy. I will update after using them. Hopefully nothing Melts! :ohno:

These are the recommended bulbs. I used the 80 watt.

I would appreciate it if you would post pics of where the screws are located. I haven't had mine up on ramps or anything yet to look around, but I'd like to put LEDs in there so they are a closer match to the LED headlights.

Could you help me out a bit more? I registered for the site, but searching under Rogue-2014-English does not yield any results for "fog" or "lamp". Is this under an area that would require a subscription?

Yes just type in your email and a password where it says account sign in, then click
Nissan Publications, select accessories install, then pick make, year, and click Electrical and type in fog lights

This is not a good idea, you run the risk of melting/damaging the fog lamp housing, connectors and/or wiring due to the increased heat. If they get damaged, you could be denied warranty coverage and have to pay to replace the fog lamp and/or wiring.

Stick with the specified wattage bulbs only.

I agree. By using a higher watt you're risking melting the assembly. If this happens warranty won't cover it and headlight assemblies are not cheap. You may not have had any issues yet, but in my opinion it's not worth it chancing that kind of issue. If the warranty doesn't matter to you then by all means go for what you want. Just know what you're looking at if a problem does arise.
