JDM yellow fog lights!

[ReKleineR]

So I finally decided it was time to go on ebay and buy ****...

I've been eyeing the JDM yellow fog lights for quite some time now, and asked all my friends and who ever what they think of yellow fog lights, and every responce was they look gay or stupid. But since when is this a comunist country where we have to listen to other ppl... I friggen bought them today so once they get shipped and installed I shall take some pictures of them for all of you guys to enjoy, or not enjoy, either way.



I also bought some Xeneon bulbs for 12 bucks. I have 44 dollar silverstar bulbs from walmart and they are pretty white, but these ones look whiter!

And I bought A new corner light. Me and my buddy tried taking my headlight out for some reason a while back and he yanked the corner light out and broke one of the tabs so it doesnt clip in all the way. So I got a new one of those coming to.

I'll be waiting for your opinion of the install, been thinking of getting these for my Pathy but wanted to know how involved it would be.

I've heard rumours that some of the wiring for the fogs is already in place for SE/Chilkoot Pathys, hope that's the case.

[ReKleineR]

Yeah I was wondering too. I installed fogs on my saturn and that was easy. But idk how it'll be with installing New wiring with a truck that already has wiring... I figure it out. Hopefully.

[Qxxx4]

dont worry what other people think....what matters is you like it and if youve been eyeing them for a while U LIKE IT lol i was eyeing my chicken coop mesh grille for 7 months...finally got it and i wish i got it sooner cuz i love it. enjoy the new lights well be waiting for the pics!

ps....ppl can say their gay blah blah blah....my yellow fogs gave me better light than my headlights at night, id always have them on and loved them since they made everything alot easier to see...like black ice....

cant see black ice with ****ty blue xenons your buddies have in their civics! HAH! rekleiner 1, rekleiners friends...0!

LMAO thats actually one of the reasons I'm gettin the new lights...

There are 5 (five) good reasons for me to buy these.

1. I attempted to go about doing the fog light mod, and failed miserably, so now my fog light wire is burnt through and through in the signal arm.

2. My fog light lense is cracked and looks like poop

3. My foglights don't work anymore when I put new bulbs in.

4. And because my foglight switch is useless, the wiring and switch that comes with the kit will fix my wiring problem.

5. I think yellow ones will look fargin awesome!

[KoukiS14]

FINALLY someone bought these - been wanting to know how they look / work.

[ReKleineR]

Ha, I knew you'd be proud of me Kouki, I wanna be just like you and have yellow fog lights shining on the snow! probably within the next month.

[Adnan]

thats a great mod rekleiner

some day i wanna get those jdm 1 piece headlights with the projectorand DIY and "blackhouse" them with my oem color

can't wait to see the pics

Installed OEM foglights almost 2 years ago in my 2002 Chilkkoot. Piece of cake. (Ordered the lights from courtesyparts.com)The wiring harness is already there. Just plug them in.I had to put in a relay which I bought locally. I didn't install a new signal stalk. I just popped the top of the steering wheel cover off, and shorted the fog light switch connector. Now my fogs are on all the time with low beams, but not on high. I know there is another mod to short out the relay, but I haven't bothered with that one yet.By the way, I also installed OEM fogs on my other 2 Nissans, and they were also prewired. Easy.

hey what kind of rim is that up front? 4runner?

[ReKleineR]

But my problem is trying to figure out how to get my new foglights to work, if the stock foglight wiring is shot, and when I put new bulbs in they dont work.

So I hope the wiring in the kit is a completely new wiring setup, I figure it must be if there is a switch, but I'm just wondering about if the kit connects to the new fog light then to a ground and a 20v or something, cause I'm not the brightest (pun intended) with electricals on cars.

Oh, and the kit doesnt come with instructions...

[Buzzman]

I wanted to put my snows on separate rims, so I went to my local junk dealer, and this is what he found for me. He told me they were from an Izuzu Rodeo. Same bolt pattern and offset. I had no reason to doubt them. They were used, and best of all, they were cheap. I wasn't that concerned with looks. I only have the front snows mounted in this picture. I put on the rear snows about 2 hours ago. They are forecasting a snowstorm for tomorrow. Sucks big time. I hate winters.

[fueler]

to be honest i like the rodeo rims better than the pathfinder ones but both sets of tires look like street tread to me? am i crazy?

[Buzzman]

You're right, they don't look that much different in this picture. The front tires are B.F. Goodrich Winter Slaloms. The rears are Goodyear Wrangler RT/S. Night and day in performance. (The Wranglers have no traction.) I'll try and take a picture of the tread pattern tomorrow, if you're interested. They are definitely different.FYI: contrary to what you might expect, snow tires do not have aggressive tread designs. They are not like mud or off road tires with large knobs and stuff. A large tread design is actually worse in snow and ice.What gives them the traction is two things: Softer rubber compounds that stay flexible in cold temperatures, and lots and lots of sipes. Hope that helps.

i'm assuming your truck is RWD...otherwise your transfer case would of flown to china

Nope, it's a 4X4. No point in getting a 2WD SUV up here, with the winters we get. Transfer case/transmission work just fine. Never had a problem.

Trivia: My son actually had a FWD only Mazda Tribute. I could never figure out why the heck he would buy a 2WD mini-ute, but he did. One winter later, he sold it. He learned his lesson.

[Adnan]

right on 4wd is the way to

[ReKleineR]

Is this still the JDM fog light thread? lol jk, but seriously you hi-jackers!

The fogs came in today! So tommorow I shall attempt to instal them. I'm led to believe a few of you fellows know your **** when it comes to electrical stuff. Cause its beyond me.

The lights didnt come with instructions... The seller said so, but I figured it cant be that hard. But if anyone could help me out I'll make a diagram or something of the wiring they sent, and perhaps we'll go from there?

Looks like just a relay and a couple of ends with the "0" thingers. Ill make a diagram...

[ReKleineR]

Well thats the best I could do for a quick diagram, I think I'll just go outside and take a look at the wiring and connect the dots.

If anyone understands the diagram lemme know. I'm sure I'll figure it out too.

[Qxxx4]

your diagram sort of makes sense lol whats important is that you fuse EACH light individually, and make sure both have a good ground....its just a light right?!?!?! lmao somehow things get so damn complicated electrically when you move onto a car.

[Infinitidood412]

:-)

[Qxxx4]

lmao yep all 97-00 qx4s came standard with those fogs!

what i like is that the housing is clear and chrome and only a small piece of glass in front of the bulb (yes theres a piece of glass, the bulb isnt yellow) so it looks spectacular in the daytime...but i wouldnt mind seeing what it looks like clear.

my drivers side fog light had fog in it (the irony) but i got most of that out with my air compressor

not sure if anyone tried to take that yellow piece out, but i did..and couldnt quite figure it out. theres a mechanism around it too..it looks like its to adjust the glass like a maginfier...neato

[Infinitidood412]

woah, did you take your turn signal lights out?

[Qxxx4]

nope, 5% limo tint baby! they look sweet when they light up with the clear bulbs inside!

[ReKleineR]

I've been working like mad, and haven't really had time to take any pics of the fogs, but here they are...







I bought a digital camera just to put these pictures on here... hope you like em.

[Chris92SE]

I have been thinking about figuring out a way to convert my 2001+ QX4 to yellow foglights. Previously, I had a 2000 QX4 and I liked the yellow. I like yellow a lot better in the snow or rain.

On my Maxima, I bought a set of "lexus casules" from HIDtech.

Here is what my Maxima looks like (I did a long exposure to capture the yellow better):

[rhd itr]

i love those lights, lolvery good choice

[exvin]

Looks great! Any daytime shots with the lights off by chance?

How do they compare to just simply changing the bulb to a yellow bulk in the stock foglight housing?

I am thinking of doing this also but unsure if to change the lenses/housing or simply just put on a yellow set of bulbs
