so here it goes... ive always been a fan of yellow fog lights, but im cheap. so i went out and bought some "blazer" brand fogs from wally world (wal mart) for $17, my kinda price! and they just so happen to fit behind the bumper grills under our blinkers (91-94 only). note: these are purely for looks, and not very functional. you cant really adjust the aim once they are in the car.

this is what they look like

first, i had to cut off the mounting mechanism. its located on the bottom and you can see it in the first picture. i used a dremel.

i just zip tied it to the back of the grills by drilling a hole on each side. i needed to use 3, but if you had some long ones, one would do. it ended up being wicked solid and in there for good.

then, reinstall your bumper grills, and thats it!

here are some daytime shots

i wanna here some feedback here. this is my first attempt at a writeup. thanks!

I'm pretty sure there's already a write-up like this with the exact same type of fogs behind the grills... I could be wrong though.

the clear lens fogs with yellow reflector housing sucks. It even has a black thing to hide the bulb. I had a set thats the same with a yellow lens and no shader thing. Now I have a different 240 with a pig nose front. I loved the yellow so much I laminex'd my maximas fogs.

lols. I saw these at walmart two months ago and saw the price and bought them.

I have a pignose though, so i put installed them differently of course. This picture is just for reference for those of you that want to see how it looks on a pignose, not meaning to thread jack. overall i have gotten compliments on these lights and for the price you can not beat them.

Here's some of the white ones with no grills. There are some convenient holes in the bumper support in perfect position to bolt them up using the mounts already on the lights. The wiring just plugs into an unused fuse i had in my fusebox, can't remember exactly where though. Allows me to turn them on whenever I want.

Hey look what I did today

Haha I think they're awesome. I like them cause I can drive around at dusk or dawn with just those on. Looks pretty sick imo.I need to move my front plate though. Blocking too much air flow. Any suggestions??

it looks good man on your piggy too. I'd move your plate to the side like mine just because i think it flows better there

The one with the white lights and no grills looks good too

I think this is one of the best wal-mart automotive product ever haha.

I prefer stained glass paint. It really makes the lens look more durable and less cheap. Best mod I think I've done to my car
