New Fog Lights

I had a G25 and ordered new fog lights on carid.com. I was happy with them but upgraded to a G37 sport and wondering if anyone had a recommendation of where I can purchase fog lights that are worth the price and trustworthy. I am looking to go white color.

Thank you

Bulbs or housings? Bulbs would be Diode Dynamics, full LED housing would be The Retrofit Source.

Lot of people running the XBLed fogs from The Retrofit Source and are pleased with them. Convinced myself to buy a set yesterday because people seem to like them.

The XB's are worth the price. Very happy with mine.

Found out my passenger fog light assembly is cracked. Would the lights you linked to above be able to replace the entire assembly if I were looking to upgrade instead of replace with the OEM setup?

Diode Dynamics are just the bulbs.

The XBs are the entire assembly.

I have both but never bothered to put in the XBs and just run yellow DD bulbs.

Are you interested in selling the XB's? Since the assembly is cracked on mine, I'm thinking I'll just upgrade to the XB's.

unfortunately no. I'm waiting for my OEM to get cracked before I replace them.

New to the forum. Just had my driver side fog lamp cover busted. Bulb works but cover shattered. Infiniti wants $450 to replace. Is that reasonable or should I shop around? Can't replace cover only, entire housing has to be replaced. Suggestions?

Same thing happened to me last week, you can buy a new oem lamp from amazon for $50 and the driver side takes 10mins to replace your self.

I bought the XBLed's on a group buy and could not be happier with the upgrade. This setup provides real functional driving light down to the pavement well out in front of the car, and out both front corners. I do a lot of night driving on poorly lit roads, and these LED's are amazing!!

Yep. These LED fogs from the Retrofit Source are worth every penny. However, like everything aftermarket, there's always something not quite perfect. In this case, it's a 1/16" to maybe 1/8" gap in fitment between the fog housing and the OEM trim ring.

Other than that... beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Is there an install guide anywhere?

I actually just replaced my fog lights to the Cool White XML2 from Diode Dynamics and spent about $120 for the pair. They had a black friday sale so I added in a few other lights but overall I am very happy with these. The brightness is night and day (literally) to the stock. I had a local shop do it for me but he charged under $100 for all lights replacements and some plasti work.
