Why did they not put the Fogs in the Grill of the G like the M?

It's been raining pretty bad here so I have been using my "Fogs" but they don't do much. The annoying thing is people flash me all the time thinking my high beams are on, even though they are aimed right and not bright at all. People assume they are brights because of the location. Not only would the fogs look better in the grill, wouldn't they provide more light if they were located lower to the ground???

I agree. They have it in the M's which look great. I love the look of the lights lower towards to ground. Everytime I see one in my rear view mirror I anxiously wait until I can see what kind of car it is. A lot of people end up putting some aftermarket fogs in the lower porition of the front bumper (where you are talking about). It's a pretty inexpensive mod if you know what you are doing (wiring and mounting). I have been thinking about doing myself someday once I get the Aero bumper.

I'm not to sure if it will provide more light, however it will look sick!

Get a pair of the PIAA Xtreme Force bulbs and no one will mistake them for high beams anymore. They just blend in

never seen fogs in the bumper of a G35 sedan. Would look pretty good but not on a 03/04 stock bumper.

^ +1. IMO I think the G looks classy without the separated fog light system seen in most cars like Lexus, BMW, etc.

ttrank did them a while ago.

Always wanted the lower fog lights since day 1 i got my car. If someone does up a DIY, I can take that to my buddies shop and have it done.

The sedan HID are the top bulbs. The lower bulbs are Halogen. They are H4's.

I've always wanted to integrate a set of fogs/driving lights into the front bumper. Just been too busy or lazy to look into getting it done.
