looking at the mounting brackets, they look like they for sure will NOT fit. it says that it is designed to fit the coupes but i think that may be either A) a bad fit or B) alteration required.

try to find a pic of the altima oem fogs and take a look at the mounting brackets, they look nothing alike, the screw hole looks like it might go in the right place but the bottom bracket does not

let me guess, you bought autopia lights? i got those and sounds just like what i went through. mine aren't hooked up yet either, haven't bothered to hook them up for a year, it's due time i did. plus mine started to get condensation on the inside, so i have to take them off and reseal them properly so they don't cause problems in the future. stick with OEM people, unless you're crafty enough to make a custom bracket, and if you are then by all means go for it. i think phenom did that with murano halo lights and they look nice

I took a closer look at these and noticed that he had the fogs in the picture rotated which made them look off. compared side by side (and rotated) to oem fogs it looks like they will fit like OEM.

I'm not sure about this, maybe someone can take a look too, but it looks like these are halo's only, there's no actual bulb in these fogs. i'm not sure how much light those will produce, if it's halos only then they're only for looks. it says "fog light bulbs included" but i can't see them in there anywhere.. and how exactly are thes "projector" halo fog lights?

i wonder what color is the actual projector is, if its more of an HID-esque look, then i will buy these, but then again im not sure that the blue halo would match my headlights. any1 think these fogs are a scam?
