All,

I had included this with my new Frontier owner post in General. Probably shouldn't have since it's technical in nature. Sorry for that.

I've got an '07 4x4 6spd Frontier SE king(love it by the way). I would like to install the OEM foglights(I've got a contact at a local Nissan dealer and can get them for a good price). I found the wiring harnesses taped up underneath to the bumper brackets. I would assume since they're there, all I need is the foglight switch that's built into the lever of the Nismo(and LE?).

So that's what I'd like to know- can I just buy the complete Nismo headlight switch lever and replace my existing lever with it?(service departments of my three local Nissan dealerships can't advise me because they've never done it).

Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Lemoninspector,

Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to think I'm the only one who wants to install the OEM lights/switch as opposed to aftermarket:-)

Your description of the switch install sounds really simple. Which I suspect is how it really is. As opposed to the tech I spoke with yesterday who works at my local dealer where he explained about having to remove the steering wheel and the air bag and doing this and that with the combination meter, etc. etc. He sounded confident but I don't think he's actually ever installed a turn signal switch before. On top of that, I spoke with one of their service writers and parts dept guys, as well as service and parts guys from other dealers(couple of them referred me to independant aftermarket shops for the lights/switch) and none of them were even aware these trucks already come with the harnesses installed from the factory. Sheesh.

I'm glad you were out there to see my message. It'll save me a lot of time and phone calls. And I appreciate the p/n. They've got the factory lights in stock here local so I'll check into that switch and I should be good to go.

Thanks again.
