I bought my AC without foglights and would like to install some on my own. Any help would be awesome. My car has these inserts in the holes where i would like to install the fog lights. How would i install the foglights in these holes to still look clean and sleek?

they pop out, and behind them there's a slot for the fog lights to plug in.

there are plenty of threads on here about fog lights. Several problems have been discussed. Very few altimas are pre-wired for fogs, I don't know about the new model and if its any different. On the 2008 the only ones with pre-wired fogs were technology package 2.5s or sometimes random people cars. Most peoples cars are not wired for fogs. Therefore you must buy a generic kit. I got mine off ebay. They sell the factory fog lights for the coupe but the are expensive and they don't have the harness you would need. I bought the yellow fog light kit off ebay. I had the cut wires and soder them because the plugs they gave me were useless, I then wired it to the battery and ran the switch to the car.

KEY POINT! you must remove the factory front bumper if you are considering any install of fog lights. Don't know how comfortable you are with doing that but it is pretty easy and there are some helpful write-ups on the site. May i recommend the search bar near the top of the site, try putting in fog light install, or fog lights in the altima coupe section of the forums. There is also a way of wiring the lights to the fuse box (OEM) but then you have to buy the stalk switch and the fog lights can't be run seperately. I like driving with just the fogs on. :yesnod
