I just did this on my non-prewired 07 last week and it's pretty easy. I followed a good write-up that is on the Nissanclub.com forum. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Gotcha...i saw wiring to parking lights at first and this guide helped me to do that. I didn't use the OEM stalk or an independent switch and my fogs come on anytime my parking lights do....there's another thread around that site somewhere for using the OEM stalk on a non-prewired Alty...I'll take a look for it and let you know if I find it....either way, good luck!

No problem...if you take a look at the bottom half of that link I posted above, there's a write-up within the write-up by a guy names Slambrewski or something like that....if you use his parts list, you should be fine. I forget if he mentioned buying H11 pigtails or not, but make sure you get a set of those.

Basically if you buy that wiring harness he listed in his post, there will be a relay with a bunch of wires coming from it. Two yellow wires will be the positive leads for the OEM fogs. You'll have a ground wire of course and a power wire with an inline fuse. Then you'll have a 5th wire that you can use to get a signal to turn on the relay. If you want the fogs to turn on with the parking lights, you can t-tap this 5th wire into the green/black wire that goes into your parking light bulb.

Sorry for the essay lol but did that make sense?

Hello, I also have base model altima sedan 2009 with no pre wire for the folight, I had ordered foglight factory with stalk, and wires supply with h11 pigtail connector. I work at Bmw Fairfax Service Center and one of the tech is my good friend of mine, he was going to help me to install the foglight but the wiring diagram step by step, it be great if you could come down and assist with the foglight installation, I'll pay you to have the job done. It a little complex since I plan to install hid kit with relay/fuse harness + all the wires to hook up the foglight and fuse box and ground common point. Let me know text me 703-785-7371 I am hard of hearing and my name is Doug. Thanks.
