Hey everyone, I have a 2001 LE. It has the fog lights on the bumper. I just got back from a road trip and saw that on the passenger side, the little plastic bit that is next to the foglight is gone. You know what I'm talking about? That little plastic insert? What do you suppose that's called? I haven't been to successful in my searching for another one. I'm hoping I'll be able to find one. If not I'm not sure what I'll do. Any ideas on what the name of the part is and where I might go about finding a replacement?
BTW, I got a little better than 18.5 MPG on a nearly 400 mile trip, I was doing anywhere between 70-75 MPH with regular gas.

Great offer, I bought an aftermarket one for around $16 and it looks very similar but does not fit exact.

Yeah eBay was showing about $16 too. Is the one you have from the passenger side? Given the picture it looks like it might be from the driver side? Unless they're interchangeable? I'm not sure. I'd hate to take it from you, find out it's for the wrong side and then someone else get on here needing it, you know what I mean? I really appreciate the offer though, don't get me wrong, it's dark where I'm at right now, but maybe tomorrow I'll see if the other one fits in the passenger side to see if they're interchangeable. If so, I'd be happy to PayPal you some money for shipping or something.

On the back of it, it says LH 62257 2W100. So it would seem that it would be drivers side (LH). The strange thing is that there is an arrow that says up in a position that would be for the passanger side. Here is a EPD of the front:

This was on the wide part that goes up against the fog light;

I'm pretty sure this is for the passanger side, but if anyone knows if Nissan uses LH to denote passenger side for some strange reason, feel free to chime in.

Is this the part you need? Kind of expensive at $27 + shipping, though.

Ah bummer, but I appreciate the help for sure! Yeah, Towncivilian, that's exactly what I need. Pricey though, I think the ones on eBay were not Nissan genuine though, and from what I understand don't fit the best. That's probably why these are so much more expensive. We'll see how much it bothers me. Haha! I think what happened is I was pulling into a parking spot and rubbed up against a snowbank, that must have pushed it out of the bumper. This is why I need to buy a bull bar. Is anyone else's bumper getting pushed in right where the license plate is bolted on? I'm thinking about getting a bull bar and I don't know whether to go chrome or black. All the little accessories are painted black (door handles, running boards tops, fog light inserts), but the chrome would match the ring around the grille. Any ideas? The truck is a dark gold/tan/champagne color. I also might get the door handles painted to match the truck when I get the dent taken out.
