Hi everybody, some info needed,

 

I just bought a very low mileage Frontier 4 door SE 4.0L V6 with only 4500 miles on the clock. The truck is great to drive albeit the fuel consumption could be a bit better.

Anyway when driving at night I notice the main headlights are not the best, I don't have fog lamps in the bumpers but when I went to the dealer they said they are not available for this model.

I looked in behind the fog lamp covers and I can clearly see harness's for fog lamps and there is also a connector on the steering column for the light switch and it comes live when you turn on the ignition, it is also fused for fog lamps.

Is the dealer just not botherd in getting me foglamps or are they telling the truth, I would love to have fog lamps as they make a huge difference when driving at night as I have them in my 2006 Honda CR-V. I would appreciate some advice or info please, thanks everybody

It's both... it wasn't available on that TRIM level of the frontiers (though I've known a few that did come from the factory) and the dealership is being lazy.

You'll also need to get a switch to turn them on.

Update on installing fog lites in a Frontier SE 08
Following parts needed: 1 - 25540-ET11A switch
                                         1 - 26150-EA825 lamp
                                         1 - 26155-EA825 lamp
                                         1 - 62256-EA800 bezel
                                         1 - 62257-EA800 bezel
                                         4 - 08146-6162G bolts
The switch is from an 08 Pathfinder SE or 08 Frontier LE, the rest is from a LE or Offroad Frontier w/ chrome bumper.
I verified this switch works by removing it from the 08 Pathfinder and plugging it into an 09 Frontier SE(same as an 08), had power and ground at the fog lite connectors. A lot easier than the way I did my own set-up with the '95 harness, switch and relay!!!
