i just got my 08 frontier about a month ago now, and i love it, but i do want to put in some nice fog lights on it not sure the best way about going about it. i know they have the holes in the front bumper with a decoritive little plug in it. can i remove them and get lights meant to fit properly in the holes or do i need to mount them somewere else. also if i can use the holes in the bumper what is a good site that might have premade kits in installing and wiring the lights. Thanks ahead of time

Were you able to find the wires for the switch under the dash? I see the wires under the bumper, but did not find them under the dash. I am not sure where the OEM switch is located, is it below the radio or is it below the steering wheel on the left side. It would be a simple hook up if I could find it. I had thought about doing the same thing too.

All parts available through your Nissan dealer, the switch replaces the current t/s-headlite switch, wiring is there for the lites. Very simple,high quality lites.
Following parts needed to install fog lites:
1-25540-ET11A switch
1- 26150-EA825 lamp
1-26155-EA825 lamp
1-62256-EA800 bezel
1-62257-EA800 bezel
4-08146-6162G bolts
Wiring is already there, these will fit chrome bumper vehicles.

parts at dealer are rediculus in price. Bought mine here. http://www.amazon.com/2005-2009-Nissan-Frontier-Assembly-Chr ome/dp/B002PQOE7M you will still need to get the switch from the dealer and spend a few minutes picking up the bolts as the kit does not come with them. Takes about 5 miutes to inslall the whole thing. The plastic rings were 6$ at the dealer rather than modifying the stock plugs.

I agree in most things. The ones I got use the same bulbs as the
dealer ones and are almost a quarter of the total cost of the Dealer
ones
