Nice ride. I love the carbon fibre hood. Congratulations on your new ride.

Awesome light set-up. Have you thought about buying the amber covers for the KC lights? It would definitely change up the color scheme of all those front bumper lights. In my case, when I just have the amber driving lights and the parking lights, it really gives my Rogue a distinctive look. More importantly it really lights up and enhances the reflective properties of road signs and markers. This is really important when there is absolutely no lights and reflective markers if any on the road. Moreoever, I notice the majority of drivers on side roads exiting out of neighborhoods or turning left in front of me tend to let me pass by. They say other drivers notice the amber lights better supposedly. Also if I get sick of the amber color, I an return to the clear cover but I like the amber for now. I can also vouch that these covers really are great in protecting the glass lens on my lights too.

Not that you need help being noticed! Nice in-grill lights and underbody lights. You're Rogue is very eye-catching on the road. NICE!

The only thing I would change is how you attached the bottom lights to the bullbar. It was very creative and gets the job done but I would have bought the bullbar light brackets (Unless you want to cut zombies in half ).

It kinda looks like you have a skateboard attached to the bottom. I just say this because you put so much effort into making your ride look good with the carbon fiber and colored lights, the bullbar area just needs to be tightened up lookwise.

Or at least paint that flat piece part black and add some black wire loom covers to the wires on top.

Also since your into lights, like myself, I bought the Sudden Stop License frame. It is like adaptive breaking during really abrupt HARD stops which only flash during those times. I feel that it saved me for the past 2 years and the batteries still work. I never been rear ended for the over 3 years I had the Rogue. It cost under 30 bucks but well worth it. One time I got stop by a cop on my legal tint and he didn't even know what it was. I told him they were brake lights.

i like your hood, very nice mate! enjoy your rogue. you never thought of led bars?

[Wildcardz]

Thanks!!
I like my light bright and having the amber just dims it.

The metal plate "skateboard" is to cover up all the paint scratches and it also to mount the bottom lights. That plate does needs a new coat of paint, because it came off from my old 2009 Rogue.

Btw, I had seen your roof light from another posting and thought about doing something similar but have to think about how to run the wiring. Your idea was good but I need a cleaner look.
Maybe I will make some brackets and not wire them... But that is still an idea, still rattling in my head. lol

Yes, I had looked into it. But just don't know yet how to run the wiring....
Might just mounts 3 round lights.......

i like your hood, very nice mate! enjoy your rogue. you never thought of led bars?

the same way my patrol cars have them = drill a hole and fill it with epoxy = done.

As of today, I have 220K miles on my Rogue.

At 217K, I had to replace my CVT and have to look into replacing my front exhaust pipe.

Hi, it’s me again.

You are probably the only person out there who has more lights than me on their Rogue!

We are one of the only few who likes to attach a lot of lights on their vehicle.

Love the upgrade, the led light at the bottom looks great. Nice job there.

Yup, I still like using my amber covers EVEN THOUGH I PREFER the CLEAR look.

But I have to go with function over form because…. gosh darn it, people tend to see me better.

I need all the help I can get with the crazy drivers around here. Been saved a few times because I get a nano-second seen quicker.

And with the matching parking lights, it kinda looks unique and more noticeable with just those two on.

I actually added 4 more lights to the back to complete my off-road look recently, but they are not hooked up. It’s more for display actually but I can hook it up later if I ever wanted to.

Most of my lights are for looks only. The roof bar, only 2 lights work, the others are broken.

I get a lot of looks and double takes along with many compliments for my Rogue everywhere I go.

My Amber covered lights DO work though.

In my state, your only allowed 4 lights on in the front. And only allowed to use offroad for most of the other lights. So I use the Amber driving lights mostly of course.

Yeah, everything on my bullbar is fake. Tow hooks etc. So you can guess the overall look I am trying to achieve. Call it my inner truck/rally car/ or as others in here say/ zombie apocalypse all terrain vehicle.

Lastly, did you get led’s for the license frame lights, back up. And tail lights? You did say you love the brightness. You definitely should, I can vouch its worth it.

Thanks for sharing your lights. Keep it up.

Loving your work!

Peace
