Got my pigtails today for my fogs. Does anyone have any tips on wiring these. Im mechanically inclined but not experienced electrically. Is there any pics or a DIY anywhere. Im thinking of just running off the fogs in the headlights.

Would I just tap the yellow wire from the fog. And run the ground to the body.

Ive read this whole thread and dont recall this info.

I know why you're asking!
The reservoir comes with the level sensor, and pump installed.
Just unbolt it, and replace the assembly.

This is probably the dumbest question yet, but did you guys remove those black foam squares that are behind the new bumper? Theres a bunch of em stacked on top of each other near both fog housings

Just wanted to update with the parts I ordered because I confused some earlier.

These lights were alot cheaper on amazon earlier but have since gone up (Note that the wiring and switch is not actually included in this kit. The company said it was an Amazon error and offered a full refund but they were fast, high quality and still reasonably priced so I kept them. Still a good price and the lenses ARE GLASS!

Amazon.com: 2007-2009 Nissan Sentra Fog Lights with Wiring & Switch Kit: Automotive

Additionally there is another pigtail option available. This GE pigtail is also made for fog light applications and the 881 type bulbs. It is also a bit less expensive. Edit: This ships very fast also!

Thanks Jayson!

I was super excited to get my bumper today (it arrived yesterday at my shop, and I just picked up the unopened box and brought it home today). While inspecting the bumper, it became pure disappointment Check out the damage on my bumper! Should I give brad a call and see what he can do for me or what? I don't want to return this HUGE box with the bumper and deal with that hassle, but this is a straight up eye sore. This new bumper has more damage then my old one thats been on the car since 08
Looks good from far lol.


but upon closer inspection, paint damaged in 3 spots, looks like someone dragged it across the cement on the corners




The last two pics, the corners are literally shaved flat. They don't even had edges on the corners anymore, they are shaved flat. Am I being too picky? It looks a lot worse in person

Definitely give him a call. There's no loss in seeing what he'll say.

Its the shippers I am guessing, my rear aero bumper came smashed the first time around and I have heard from others their shipping company is not very good. I told Brad that I was not happy with the shipping at all.

I'm not sure that this one was a shippers error, the box was in excellent shape, and the bumper was wrapped very well, and the corners had foam on them that was still in tact. This looks more like something that happened before it was packaged, because they shaved flat spots look like it was dragged across the cement or something.
