Where's the best place to order his fog lights with the switch on the rest of the lights option eg high beams low and auto.

Do you mean where to order the OEM headlight stalk that includes the foglight switch?

I order OEM parts from nissanpartszone.com

Any fog lights that's looks good with a nice looking switch. Not a random toggle switch at a random spot

This is a good place to put this standard sized switch:

That switch came with my kit but I've since replaced it with another. Switches in that exact size are not hard to find.

Thats a really legit set up. I personally went with the OEM fog stalk just to save the hassle of installing the wires and switch. However, I bought the same switch Alex has on his car, just in case i plan on doing that set up, because its look like factory

What's nice is the option to turn on the foglights at any time, even if the car is off or if you have parking lights, headlights on etc.

How do you get like red halos on the fog lights? Same process as headlights?

Actually that would be easy because the ebay foglight kits come with like 5mm LED halo rings. You can easily change the color of the LEDs in the halos if you wanted to. You'd need to know how to do a clean solder job with some nice heat shrink too.

I want to know if I get a kit from eBay with the switch do I have to do any re wiring cause my car pre wired for fogs. Or should I get the OEM combination switch? Is the column combination switch plug n play?

The column OEM switch is plug and play while the aftermarket kits are not. You would need to run a new circuit with relayed power on the aftermarket kits which includes running wires through the firewall and running power lines to your new switches too.
