one question. so if i wanna match it to my headlights which are 6k, would i be able to get the hid bulb and ballast and just swap it out with the oem ones??, or do i need a whole different thing?

Yes as it was said in the previous thread about these that i made, i spoke to the guy and apparently the fogs are just oem style, there not oem quality and what really turned me down is there not DOT and SAE approved.

So if you really want OEM fogs, not cheap rip offs spend the extra 30 bucks and get these

Just opened a group by.http://forums.altimas.org/zero...ystem

I talked to them, and in their defense, they are SAE approved but are not DOT because DOT is a US agency and they are based in Canada.

Not what they told me anyway, so they're lieing to someone. I could drive to their shop and choose not to because the fogs dont look like their OEM quality and like it has been said before when i made the first thread about these "ebay" fogs, better to spend the extra 30 dollars and get the actual "Oem" fogs that are for sale on ebay by a well known parts distributor.

The group buy link doesn't work because it was never approved by a mod.

u do get a switch with both sets. but i like this set because it hooks directly to the battery and i don;t have to worry as much about wiring.
