OEM Fog Lights Questions

[esalgue5]

So i own a 2009 altima 2.5s and i'm planning to install fogs lights. My car is already pre-wired and i already bought the fog lights. My questions is that i need the steering column combo switch with fog light control on it. I need to know where i can get it the switch from or if any one knows the part number it will help me a lot. i ordered one from buynissanparts.com and they sent me the wrong part and the one i order said it was combo switch W/fog and when i got it; it did not have the fog switch on it.

Hope your issue with the parts got straightened out.
I wanted fogs on my 2010 Altima, but did not want nav. Dealer gave me a sweet deal on parts/labor. Took almost 3 weeks for 2010 part to arrive, but job's done now & looks great. OEM fogs are VERY functional lights BTW.

do you still need combo switch fog? I have one brand new if you want it, im selling it for $60.

check your local junkyard. maybe you can find a wrecked 08 or 07. not sure if those will fit though

so thats the only thing you need to make the wiring harness work for the oem fog lights is that switch???

honestly the easiest way is to just get the fog light kit from nissan parts

comes with the switch and the OEM fogs for around ~200

Most likely: once the switch is installed, the circuit for the fogs is complete-meaning power can be sent to them when the foglamp switch is turned on with the headlights on. The thing is, on some cars the BCM (Body Control Module) may not be configured for the foglight option, so you may need a Nissan dealer to turn it on for you with Consult III. Not always the case though. Most of the time you install the switch and they work.

I agree with Andy, buy the kit from Nissan. I did it on my L31 in '05 and it worked flawlessly, even with aftermarket Xenons installed.

I will for sure buy the kit from Nissan, thanks for the help
