foglights in signal housing.... why not

[95-J30tt]

is it even possible to put in fog lights in the same housing as the signal flasher? , if so, can you please explain? , i saw the fog lights done that way once, but didnt know how the flasher would work !!!

I've asked this question without getting an answer. The search bore no fruit.I suspect those who've done it just did without front signals. You could also wire up the front corner lights to be the signals, using a dual-filament bulb. The question is what the light pattern would be. You can get 55-watt 1157 bulbs off eBay and the like, and sockets from any parts store. Power them directly through a relay and use the stock lighting harness only to supply the coil side of the relay- I'm sure another 110W would raise hell with the unconscionably-delicate J30 lighting relay. Mounting additional bulb holders would probably ruin any hope at a useful beam patten. I'm perplexed how a "luxury sedan" of the nineties was built without foglights, or at least the option of having them. The more so on the J30, whose turn signals look as though they were meant to be fogs.

The early 90s Q45 fog lights look like they are the same size as the J30sturn signal, Does any know if they will fit. Here is a Picture on Q45.org http://www.q45.org/gallery/v/R...dex=1

best thing to do is find out the nissan part number.

The Q-boat fogs look more square. If they'd substitute, I'm sure we'd all already know about it.

Or you can add a set of aftermarket fog lamps. I run a set of aftermarket PIAA's, they integrate well into the bumper grille with a little bit of cutting.

hey i'm new to this site but i'v been modding my J for about 3 years now... just converted my signal housing into fog lights last week, placing my blinkers where my running lights use to be (next to the head lights) let me know if your interested in knowing exactly how... took me all of 10 minutes.

Pictures or a how to would be greatly appreciated

I second that emotion.

[liquidJ30]

aight well i'll be able to do it friday but prolly wont be able to upload the pics and everything till saturday afternoon. i tried explaining it in words with someone and it was too hard to explain so i'll get those pics in asap.

What bulbs did you use for the bottom (soon to be fogs) i think i know what you did in the conversions seems to be a simple theory

took me all of 10 minutes.

I REALLY am interested in knowing what could be done in 10 minutes to trun the signal light into fog light and the corner light into signal light.

well you could bolt on lights direct to the battery thru your own relays and wiring harness if you know how to make a harness... when i was doing alot of cross continental driving and had to do alot of nite driving ... i had all my 'cross country' lights on a harness and on remotes so no drilling since it was wireless...but nothing beats it when you're on a deserted road with no lights and you can turn on 'artificial daylight' in front of you...

Geezus !!!I bet peeps saw you coming from Miles away !

Don't people park in Canada? Down here in orc land, you'd have about twenty minutes before half those lamps were chasing nightcrawlers, and the others were signalling Jupiter.Oh, and we're only allowed 2 fogs and 2 "driving" or whatever other name (aux, passing, pencil, etc.) on a car.What you needed there were Cibie Super Oscars

[Defiant]

And I still want to know if you get a decent, non-blinding fog pattern, or just a wash-it-down, hose-it-all blarp of light.I'm not chasing a boulevardier looky-I'm-cool bunch of photon noise out the nose of the car. I want the extra five seconds to catch a glance at that marauding deer perched on the shoulder, looking for its life's last 50-mile-an-hour chromium dry-hump.

[yodawill2000]

LMAO

Man I gotta quit drinking coffe when I read your post.Caffiene out the nose is to much of a rush !

Beh, sintered sinuses sense superiorly.

sorry guys i got caught up with work friday late, then the OU game, then i had to fix one of my underlights and build my amp rack... so ya i didnt take any pics. but here's the process, (simplified) run the wires from the blinker up to the running lights and run the wires from the running lights down to the original blinker housing. u need to ad some wire for the running lights wires to reach the blinker housing... then go to auto zone ask them to match ur bulbs but with white instead of amber and the smaller amber lights instead of your running lights... p.s. the harness' that hold the bulbs are the same, but you'll have to cut them all off and swap them.. (left to right.... right to left) b/c theres a plastic indention that keeps them from being a clean fit. but if u swap they'll go in perfect... lil more wire work but its not bad.... this will give you those (fog) lights, but seriously they dont illuminate much, but they look HOTT baby! hope this helps... let me know
