Hello all,

Have had my black '07 Frontier SE 4x4 6spd for a couple of weeks now and thought it time to locate a good forum for learning more about these things. Looks like I found a good site.

I'm still driving my '89 Nissan pickup(bought it from my mom who bought it new) It has 160k mi. on it now and though it runs good, it's getting pretty rough looking. So I decided to get the new one now and being end of model year I got a great price. Finding the exact options and color I wanted was an added bonus(hard to do with the leftovers).

I, like some others here, researched a Tacoma(and I also looked into the Ranger because I'm an old Ford man) and just didn't feel the Toyota had as much to offer. And they're more expensive too. I'm satisfied I made the right choice. I'm really, really enjoying this truck(especially the 6spd, which was hard to find in my area of Va.).

Anyway, I've got something I'd like to get some advice on. 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 to the bumper brackets underneath. 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 thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

SAR Tech,

Low beam operation is ok with me. I actually want them more to make the front end look better(though if installed, I certainly want them to work). And actually, I like staying with OEM parts if at all possible- I have this thing about factory accessories/performance parts. Plus I've spoken with a few people and apparently the factory fog lights are real good quality and a better choice than most of the aftermarket lights out there.

Thanks. I appreciate the reply.
