I know the later years of the G50 had foglights as an option (touring edition only?), but I don't think mine did.

Is there a good way to add foglights and still have it look stock? I don't want to just slap some lights on the outside of the bodywork... is there a spot to install them? Any recommendations on brand, size, location?

Why do you want foglights?

I'd stick in driving lights just to burn retinas.

I've seen tiny little driving lights with clear lens which would fit in the lower radiator opening (out at the corner), pull the wimpy bulbs and replace them with 2 million CP spotlight replacement bulbs.

Death to the unbelieving eyeballs !... the streets will flow with their blood !

I have illegal 110 Watt highbeams and it just doesnt seem like punishment enough for those idiots who turn on their high beams put don't turn them off when there's oncoming traffic like me.

Enhanced visibility, of course. I suppose you are going to tell me I am wasting my money?

Doesn't really matter anyway... this would project #1,309,841,870,891,734 on my list of things to do the Q.

It is one spot ahead of #1,309,841,870,891,735 - add waterproof heating element to Windshield Washer fluid resorvoir so that my car can spray steaming hot fluid like the new Lucerne commercials.

It's not Tuesday yet (twitch...twitch...)

I'd rather my Q car doesn't spray hot fluids like some Buick, (sounds like some kind of buildup that should be kept as a private matter)

But in the commercial, it steams Wes... IT STEAMS! If you do a lot of windshield washer fluid in the winter, you could create your own "slow reveal through the steam" style movie entrance. I would have to drive like 2mph and leave my windows down so that eveyone could marvel at my slow motion entrance with theme music.

Nothing in the world could possibly be cooler... except, maybe, having a Q that is in perfect running order but does not have steaming washer fluid.

Definitely just spit on my monitor... Thanks a lot Ross......

if it were mine, id rig the little hoses to steam in front of the car, but where you listed the car would have already penetrated the extremely unnecessary effect fog..

The innocent bystanders would be going about their business and then BAM.. WTF, ITS THIS CRAZY DUDE WITH A Q45, AND HES GOT HEATED WASHER FLUID.....

After you install that, be sure to do your blinker fluid flush...



Are you blinkers sluggish? Do they make an annoying ticking noise? Do they not flash fast enough? Here's your solution. Little do people know, blinker fluid should be changed every 150,000 blinks! KaleCo high quality synthetic blinker fluid meets the highest D.O.T. standards! KaleCo blinker fluid provides you with thousands of hours of reliable blinking without the wear and tear on the flash-synchro's that the other blinker fluids cause! KaleCo blinker fluid will not lose its viscosity, even in the most extreme situations! Why buy that old dino-blinker fluid, when you can get our unique patented synthetic formula? Satisfaction guaranteed!! For use in any car.

I think the Infiniti dealership does a blinker fluid flush as a part of their standard oil change service. I am not sure if they use KaleCo... next time I am doing my slow-mo-gratuitous steam w/ theme music entrance at the dealership I will ask. Maybe I will even talk real slow and in a deep voice so that it will match up with the speed of my car.

Speaking of which... anyone know how to disable the lower limit on your cruise control? I need to set mine at 2mph... or, "idle" as I like to call it.
