It looks pretty easy to wire up, just don't want to cut into the bumper so I'd probably fabricate something myself!

you dont need to cut the whole grille insert you only cut a square where the lamp is fitted everything else fits in perfectly. without cutting it, it will not fit. the kit already comes with brackets and screws. to do this I did not need to take off the bumper only the upper grille and the plastic under the bumper. there was plenty of room.

i am going to take pictures of the wiring and harness later on today today (my spare set) and tell you where i tapped everything into.

well truthfully if you driving with just the oem fogs on instead of the lowbeam a lot of people don't even notice that its fog lights on. the traditional low fogs has great output and also for looks. now i am looking for an aggressive lip.

^prove me wrong. take a normal sitting pic from behind the wheels sitting in the driver seat with jus ur new fog lights on and show me the output is usable. yea the output looks great from outside the car but from behind the wheels for the driver its useless. but yes our oem fogs are like regular headlights and u cant tell lol. but since I have projectors I guess u could but I don't care lol

^g35 projectors aren't that great to begin with. and theyre definitely not as clear cut as the pic u posted. but oem projectors are still better than reflectors

Some eBay sellers don't know what shipping option to choose and it grows exponentially across the country. Almost purchased a phone case with 300$ in shipping -.-

OEM projectors are great for 2006!
