    Good work man! I never bothered doing it on our last lease car. I knew how to do it but the dealer kept telling me that it has to be reprogrammed and would cost $140, you just proved them wrong! Too late for me but will for sure be able to help others!

    This 100% works, just finished doing it on my 2010 2.5s with stock wiring harness. Thanks for the video! Couple of notes: I found the turn lever on a 07 3.5se at my local yard. If the plugs are already there taped on but don’t work with the new lever, they’re probably corroded and need to be replaced.

    • @Luv-sic-
      @Luv-sic- 10 місяців тому

      you didnt have to add any extra wiring or relays? i thought only the 2.5SL trims had all the wiring needed for the fog lights

    • @SamIsPink
      @SamIsPink 10 місяців тому

      Nope no extra wiring other than replacing the plugs. I'm pretty sure the wiring harness is the same on both models, the only difference being that they didn't add in the features from the sl. I assume they used the same one to save money, but it also makes things really convenient.

    • @Luv-sic-
      @Luv-sic- 10 місяців тому

      Great! Sounds like me and you have a similar setup, also got my combo switch off a 07 3.5se, do you know if same gen maxima combo switches would work also? There were a couple Maxima's at the junkyard and imo the switches look pretty cool. Just waiting on the fog lights, should come tomorrow, if the pre wire plugs are corroded, what would the best way to go about fixing them or changing them out be?

    • @SamIsPink
      @SamIsPink 10 місяців тому

      Yea the combo switch should just be plug and play, from what I remember it uses the same connector and fits perfect. As for the plugs, if the fog lights you ordered come with a wiring setup you can just cut off the old ones and connect the new ones. If they don't, you could either get new ones online (they're pretty cheap last time i checked) or check the junkyard. I just used some old push in wire connectors I had for copper so that the new connection and wires wouldn't corrode. If they're corroded you'll either get no light or dim inconsistent light so its pretty easy to tell if they need to be replaced. Also the entire thing can be done without taking the bumper off if you just turn your wheels and use the wheel well.

    • @Luv-sic-
      @Luv-sic- 10 місяців тому

      @@SamIsPink thanks for the reply, I got the fogs connected to the pre wired harness, but it seems like the pre wired harness plug doesn't reach deep enough to make contact with the fogs, or maybe it's corroded. I'm thinking I'll have to cut the pre wired terminal plug end off and use a splicer kit to attach the copper wires to the new plug that comes with the kit. I'm not that great with electrical stuff so hopefully that makes sense, but would this be a valid way to tackle the problem, or be similar to what you did?

  • @freefree2021
    @freefree2021 5 років тому +2

    IMPORTANT TIP 2:06 if you look at this clip and you DO see wires in all the spots then your car is already equiped with fog light engine harness which means its already wired to plug in fog lights. I was lucky after watching i noticed i do have all wires. I looked down in front of my battery and saw the fog light plug taped to the harness! All i needed was the wheel switch and lights and plugged right in!

      i have all the wires on the fuse box, but i have a 2010 2.5SL, not the 3.5 trim. will i still need the 3.5SL turn signal switch?

    • @freefree2021
      @freefree2021 Рік тому

      @FlipperGrapesLover the plug should already be on your harness, look directly down in front of the battery, you should see the clip taped agaist the harness, just untape and plug the fog lights in, you will also need the fog light brackets that replace the plug in the fog light holes on the bumper, these will then hold the fog lights in place. Get the 2.5l steering column switch.

      so you used the part from the junk yard in the fuse box or you took the wires from the piece you got from the junk yard and put them in the harness that was in your car? What are you connecting to the brown box and how? Where did you get fogs? Did that harness come with them or did you have to make it? Sorry man I got lost around 9:50 make like there was missing information or something I didn't see. You seemed to have got a better understanding of it then I did.

    Great job on the video bro, it's exactly what I needed for my megane 2. But i have a question, how did you find out witch OEM plug was the right one for the fog lamps in the reley box?? I have also installed the lamps to my bumper and now I was going to try and make an improvised installation like yours but I don't know where to plug the wires in the fuse box. Cheers.

  • @VGMusicMagic
    @VGMusicMagic 12 років тому

    Thanks for responding. Nissan dealer figured out that the wireing from switch box to the fog lamps were not grounded, thats why the switch with auto head lamps and fog lamps options was not turning on the fog lamps. Now, after grounding the lamps turned on. I now hae bothe auto head lamps and fog lamps.

  • @reeseville1
    @reeseville1  12 років тому +1

    (with the car off) id plug the junk yard pins into the box under the hood...attach a 9v battery and then test with a multimeter for which pin is holding 9v at plug under the column.. it is color coded but i personally cant tell you which wire is going where and that fuse box is enclosed fully (the white part) i dont recommend opening that you might get a moisture issue

But, fog were working fine with 25560-JA074 switch which doesn't have auto headlamps option but fog lamps. Any idea why the JA015 switch's fog lamps don't work?! Did I bend any pins while installing the switch?! Any help?

    @reeseville1  12 років тому

    I confused... If you have fog lamps why would you change the switch?.. im not even sure if the hybrid model has the same hard wire as the regular altima. ...but anywho if its not working you may have to run a bypass wire to which ever wire line powers your wire from the original switch.. do you have the slots i mentioned in the video?? its one of those things where id have to see where your wires are going to figure out whats going... if not the only thing i can say is the it may not be grounded

I'm so Glad you posted your video. Im like, "yes! I found someone who knows what they're doing!" Lol Did you have to wire it to the relay provided with the foglights?
    Also, My foglights I bought also have running lights and blinkers on the bottom. I can get it to work but,
    Does anyone know of an accessory wire under the hood so I dont have to go through the firewall for the running lights?

    Would be easier to just get the fog lights.. and install a toggle switch to turn them on and off rather then do all this.. infact after hearing that only the SL comes prewired which is dumb cause every other vehicle in the road from every other company has everything prewired already cause it’s cheaper and easier to mass produce this way that’s exactly what I’m gonna do on my daughter care since it already has a spare switch spot on the drivers side next to the trunk release
