Fog lights

What options are there for the 2008 G35xs the fogs are built into the lamps but I would like to have some like the 2013 G37s but I don't want to do the full facelift. Looking for some help.

OP, search around a bit. I know I've seen at least a few different theads around here with versions of DIY solutions that people fabbed into the earlier V36 bumpers.

If you even bothered to search and look at the the thread he referred you to, you'd have seen that he posted pics.

Because the yellow spectrum will actually penetrate the water mist that creates fog. White light will reflect off the water mist which is really no use as a functioning "fog" light.
