Auxiliary Driving / Fog Lights install - behind grille

[Mugzilla]

I want to put one of those offroad-only 8 billion candlepower lightbars on the front and rear of mine.

How did you remove the center console? I bought a switch and want to install it. Don't have any plans on what to wire the switch for just yet though.

Great minds think alike!

Anyone have any shots of the lights (both clear and yellow) from the driver's POV at night???

I'll try to take some driver's perspective shots of mine (white/clear) next time I'm out at night. In the meantime, this might give you an idea of how they look (shot at dusk with headlights off and driving lights on) >>> https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/threads/walkaround-video-of-my-current-setup.7734/

Thats quite a bit of additional light. May have to reconsider this for later. Thanks for the update!

Hey bro, where did you get the flanged aluminum thread from? what thread size did you use?

The aluminum Rivnuts were supplied by my technician. They were 8mm x 1.25 coarse thread to match the mounting bolts that came with LED pods.

Here's a couple shots of the same stealth-mount LED pods recently done to my Performance MT. Unlike my NISMO earlier above, these happen to have the removable amber lenses installed on them.

Perfect. Thank you. You traded in your Nismo for the performance MT?

Advanced Auto Parts carry those rivet nuts too. I’m installing the same fog lights for my performance MT as well. Did you get a switch for it? I’m going to install the button on the left side of the steering wheel below the traction control button

No problem. NISMO is now gone. NISMO is great, but much prefer the Performance MT for how I like to mod and use it. Here's how I handled the switches for both the driving lights and indirect cockpit lighting. They are the two round flush push button switches with amber LED rings you can see here conveniently located in center console just below E-brake handle.

Same here. Nicee. What made you choose amber lights and not the white ones like on your Nismo? DId you have to buy longer wires or the one that comes with the kit is long enough?
