I think there is a possibility by looking at the pics, but I've never had a 2010 bumper so I can't tell for sure.

Really nice project it is going to look great when its done cant wait to see it! Are you totally sure that you would not be able to use the 07 headlights with the new bumper? That is really what will drive up the cost for people. If all it cost was the price of the bumper/some grilles / etc it would be a great way to uplift an 07 to look like the newest models!

Either way great job cant wait to see the finished product

Ouch its too bad that you need the headlights too... oh well maybe one day when I see a used set on ebay ill pick them up and slowly work towards the transformation lol

It may not end up being too too expensive if you sell off your old headlights/bumper/etc

For anyone who is still interested in this conversion I was able to find a 2007 G35 that is being sold on ebay with the conversion done.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tchlink:top:en

It is a salvaged car so it made sense for them I guess to just get all new 2010 parts when they went to sell it.

^ not sure how he did it, but if it were me i would just get those wire taps from radio shack and tap the existing fog wires from the 07 headlights and route them to the lower/newer fogs, should cost ~$5 with taps and extra wire and maybe about 10-15min job.

IDK what the current draw is for the new fogs versus the older integrated ones, but if it's not similar, you miiiiiiiiiight want to consider using a relay to power them and just trigger it with the line from the old ones. At least that way there's no risk of cooking something.
