I have a '00 Altima GXE that did not come with fog lights. I don't
want to pay $175 for the ones the dealer can sell me, so I've been
looking at some of the aftermarket versions. I would, however, like
to install these aftermarket lights using the factory wiring/relay so
I don't have to worry about running wire and trying to find a place to
install a switch somewhere inside the cabin. Does anyone have
detailed info for this install/mod? I did see a two wire harness that
dangles down next to where the fog light ports are in the front trim
and was wondering if this is the jackpot. I don't think this will be
as simple as just plugging a relay into the socket and tapping into
this harness because I tried jumpering the relay and tested for
voltage at the harness but got nothing!

Does anyone have a good recommendation/connection for which lights
might be the best (online)? I've already checked out jcwhitney, ebay,
etc.

thanks

Do yourself a favor and buy the factory ones already.

I have one of the 2003 3.5L Nissan Altimas which was an awesome car to
begin with, but now I've done some performance tweaking with the
engine, exhaust etc .. and now the car screams. I've taken it to the
dragstrip a few times and I'm running better times than most of the
naturally aspirated cars out there... including all of the old muscle
cars. If your interested in some performance parts for your altima
check out www.seffects.com/altima.asp.

There's also a listing for some nice PIAA replacement fog lights on
their site as well.

i have a 2000 altima se and i have a lot of problems with the fog lights.My
advice is that you are better without.
when it rains watter gets inside and burns the bulbs.It`s a pain to change
them because are halogens and because there is not room to stick your
hands to get to the soket also you can not use the watter protection
grease for the same reason(if you touch the bulb with grease is gonna
burn).Probably the safest way to replace the bulbs is to remove the bumper
and i do not have time for something like this.Is up to your apreciation
if is worthed.
