Wow looks great!

Ques:
- Did the template come with the light? Or did you make one?
- How did you mount it? Screws?
- Is it counter sunk? Or Flush?
- Did it come with a switch? How are you controlling on/off functions?

Only thing I don't like is that is sticking one!! Maybe mold to the diffuser it would look way better! Or at least flush!!

- The guy made a template
- He just made a custom bracket and bolted on to the light and the bumper
- It's definitely not flush, but it looks better. You can't make this fit flush without body work
- It's wired to my tag lights so its constantly on

It's near impossible to get it flush without body work! You can't even run a U.S tag if you put it in the Japanese and Euro locations. I'll post pics of the fitment later today.

^+1, looks nice but id rather have it wired with my brake light when pressed, i know it defeats the purpose of it being a 'fog light' but i doubt that most people would install this for that reason.

Some more pictures.

How it looks from the side. It's not flush, but i prefer how this looks. You can't make this flush without some bodywork

Thank you very much! Yup the slit was just pointless, but this really removes 80% of the empty space

Sorry about how you feel . Like i said, this was the best option without going into the bumper. I maybe upgrading to a G37 sedan 6mt later this year, so it's the logical way to do things.


Update pic of it at night

my input for what its worth....what about installing an on/off switch for it, that way you can make it a true rear fog and turn that thing on only when needed. or, i would just leave it unwired and just use as a reflector. im just not feeling it always being on. def the only G in the states rockin this tho!

A few people have told me this, but I prefer it constantly on. This is how it is on a 370Z and I like it. Thanks for the input though

pretty sure in europe/mid east they are switched just like in german cars. Switch on during bad weather.
