The OP was for a coupe which takes an H1 bulb, but you are correct the sedan takes 9006. Page 4 Post #95 of this thread points that out. You should always double check lighting type through Lamp Replacement Guide Home

If I were you I would give this 35w kit from DDM Tuning a try:
DDM Tuning 35W and 55W HID Kits
I've had one of their 35w H8 6000k kits in my Fog lights on my 2010 G37x and now transferred it to my 2013 G37x, going on 4-years with no problems, and at this price of $30 you can't go wrong! Matches my 6000k HID headlamps near perfectly. (See my profile pix)

Instructions on the site say you may have to dremel the housing to make it bigger for the H1 HID bulb to fit..

I went from the top to only replace the fogs... What a PITA!!!!!
Contortionist to get in there with a flashlight & see, tore up my fingers feeling for the clip, 20 minutes to get the clips hooked back, & on the passenger side remove the clip holding the washer neck to get some more room.

* So just got done with the 2010 G37x SEDAN INSTALL, went through the fender by turning the wheels in one side at a time and pulling back the shielding. This access worked well for the HID headlamp swap.
Also NOTE: When you insert the HID bulb or H8 into the fog light housing, look at it from the front as you apply forward pressure and turn the bulb to lock it in place, Making sure that all three prongs are above the mounting tabs or the bulb will not seat properly. I also took the extra time to find a spot to zip-tie the ballasts so that they would not be loose and sliding around. This is easier to do on the driver side because of the better visibility and availability of random holes to use as anchors.
* And as always, Be sure to test each lamp before closing up the fender and under engine shielding. Total install time was about 1.5 hours including testing, mounting and figuring the first side out

Hi,
I was able to change the driver side but the passenger was different. Can you advise on how to change the passenger side?
Thanks.

Has anyone tried anything like this in the integrated fogs on sport coupe (2008)?

This thing looks hefty , but my only issue is the heat sink might stick out too far to put the fog cap on?
any ideas? Suggestions?

Repost from page 7 of this thread: NOTE: Passenger Side fog light on the G37x sedan can NOT be accessed through fender because of windshield fluid tank in the way, so you have to remove 3 bolts from under the front bumper on that side, pull back the shielding and create a gap to get at through there. Just reminded of that when I returned my lamps to stock for the return.
