See what Nissan usually does is, wire everything up, then if the car has fogs, it just adds couple more things, but the wires are there even if you don't have a specific option.

If you do use them, you would need to wire up a new turning signal switch on the steering wheel, which has the fog lights on/off.

What colors are on those wires going to the connection?

Color of the wires are red-black, and black (ground)

Go to the junkyard and get 2 bulb holders from any Infiniti/Nissan sidelights. They will fit perfect! Wire the bulb holders as follows:
1. Connect the new bulb holder ground wire to the Corner lamp black ground and tape up.
2. Connect the new bulb Positive wire to the Corner lamp Constant-On wire (not the blinking wire) and tape up.
3. Insert a 194 Wedge LED bulb with your color of choice (Red or Blue are illegal in most states). These are cheap from Hong Kong but works great, bright, and will last much longer than normal filament bulbs.
4. Insert the new bulb holders into your driving lamp holes.

Done... 1/2 hour job for both headlights!!

I might, but I always thought that would defeat the purpose of the fog lights mod

Thanks Joekuh..

I have EDM headlamps in my NX with driving lights.. They look so kewl in the evenings with just the parking lamp lite: here... The LEDs are low power (1watt) and can withstand the heat & vibrations inside of the headlamp... Super Easy mod...

B13 side marker lamp holders will fit exactly.

Nope... Not at all...
This actually will enhance your foglight mod... The driving lights are like 5% of the brightness of your headlamps, so the foglamps are still prominent!

hehe... You saw mine... And you know they look good and are functional...

Just like you saw my blinking sidemarkers, interior floor lights, LED dash lights and enhanced trunk lights.

All are good useful mods!! And all are very easy to do!

So, you dont really hate me .... Get to work Vadim

hehe!
.

Also, I didnt show you a few other electrical mods, like: my radio stays on after I turn off the key Until I open the drivers door.

Others: Remote Start, EDM Motorized headlight tilt, etc...

Oh man thats just evil, I want the CD player to play until the door opens!

I wonder if the same thing could be applied towards the window switch still working until you open the door
