First of all, this is an old thread, but I just completed the fog light installation on a 2009 Altima Hybrid. I will explain at length my process. reeseville1 put a lot of good info in the video, but I got lost at the harness part around the 9:50 mark. Here is how I completed the install. 1. I found a car with everything needed at the local pick and pull salvage yard and that was very helpful. I was able to get the fog lights $29, the engine bay fuse box plug harness $8.42, the Nissan 25560-JA015 multi-function turn signal switch/stalk with Auto headlight and fog function (even though my car did not have the Auto headlight function) $28, the engine wiring harness $66. 2. I noticed that the Altima was missing the two wires in the engine fuse box. The 2009 Altimas were prewired as they had the H11 plugs that were taped by the windshield wiper container on the passenger/right and by the horns on the driver side/left, but most were missing the fog lights and the fog equipped multi-function turn signal switch/stalk. 3. When I got home I took the factory wiring harness apart and looked for the same color wires that was on the fog lights that I removed. There was a red/white wire and a black wire from the passenger/right and a blue/yellow wire and a black wire in the driver left side. Inside the engine wiring harness I also found a thicker gauged y-shaped black ground wire with a tab crimped to the end with a hole for mounting a screw to the car's frame. 4. I used a Dremel light tool with a cutoff wheel to cut open up the donor harness plug to get the wires and the metal pin/clips out. I practiced on the opposite side to learn how to get the wires and pins out without damaging them. I realized that once I cut the pins and wires out of the plastic housing they wouldn't slide into the empty (practice)hole because of a metal tab on the pins. I had to grind the metal tab down and that allowed the metal pin to slide in. That way I didn't need to solder the wires in. 5. I slid a shrink tube on one end of the red/white wire and slid a shrink tube on one side of the blue/white wire and attached like wires to like wires in my living room (my wife loves me) and heated the shrink tube on them. In the open spot in the engine bay, I slid and pressed in the red/white wire to the bottom slot in the engine bay fuse box, and slid and pressed in the blue/yellow wire to the upper empty slot in the engine fuse box like reeseville1 mentioned. They slid right in without soldering. I spliced and twisted both black wires to the thicker gauge wire slid two shrink tubes, and I sanded a spot off on the radiator support and used a spare machine screw to mount the ground wire there. I looked at the diagram on the back of the engine fuse box, and noticed that I was missing the foglight's15 volt fuse. I swapped a 15-volt fuse from the interior fuse box under the steering column front auxilliary power outlet/cigarette plug. 6. I attached the wires and had already switched the multifunction turn stalk/switch inside the car. The fog lights did not illuminate I unscrewed the ground screw and removed more paint in order to get a more complete ground. I reattached the ground wire. The fog lights came on. 7. I disconnected the fog lights from the plugs, and ran the wires down the front. It is less room since some of the Hybrid hardware is up front. I used a wire hanger to route the wires down. 8. I elected to try to reach the fog light cover from beneath... You can get in, but you can't unscrew the bolt to remove the fog light hole cover from below. When I unbolted the front bumper I could see the 10 mm bolts from above. I lined the fender with blue painter's tape, to not scratch it. The bumper came off easily, just take off the 6 push tabs on the top. Then there are two screws, one screw in each wheel well that holds the bumper on. I put a 9. I popped out the fog light covers after removing the 10 mm bolts. They each have two retainers that pop off easily. I put the fog lights in and tightened the bolts put the bumper back on. It was much easier with my wife attaching the wheel well screws while I pushed and aligned the bumper. 10. The fog lights came on when the low beam headlights were on, but went off when you flick the high beam headlights on. No computer programming was necessary/ It took me about two and a half hours from start to finish. The non-hybrid 2009-up Altimas should be easier to equip than the hybrid, because they at least have the wires and h11 plugs present. They may be missing the turn signal stalk with the fog light switch and the fog lights themselves. If you were to buy an aftermarket wiring set, you would have to splice and twist the red/white, blue/yellow wires you inserted in the engine fuse box harness to the relay wires that you cut and splice from the aftermarket wire company.

This 100% works, just finished doing it on my 2010 2.5s with stock wiring harness. Thanks for the video! Couple of notes: I found the turn lever on a 07 3.5se at my local yard. If the plugs are already there taped on but don’t work with the new lever, they’re probably corroded and need to be replaced.

Mine is already wired

The link doesn’t work where can I buy the piece to turn the fog lights on?

didn't show us any work at all, thumbs down!!

Would be easier to just get the fog lights.. and install a toggle switch to turn them on and off rather then do all this.. infact after hearing that only the SL comes prewired which is dumb cause every other vehicle in the road from every other company has everything prewired already cause it’s cheaper and easier to mass produce this way that’s exactly what I’m gonna do on my daughter care since it already has a spare switch spot on the drivers side next to the trunk release

Thank for this information just what I needed to know your video skills are not great But they information is 100% good luck thank you

Are those two Leads on the new harness power? The blue and red? What wires go to those from the fog light harness? Red to what and blue to what? Thank you.

Great Video...Finally found detail on wring and stalk replacement!

I wonder if I could do this to my 2012 Nissan Sentra?

Hey man how these turbos holding up?

I don't have the stalk on my 06 but it's pre-wired. And I have auto headlights. If I just put the fogs in using the factory wires will they automatically go on with the low beams?

Do you think you can put the actual link to where you got both fog lights and the fog switch? Please & Thank You

could you please post a same video for Toyota Camry 2012, 2013 and 2014

Dude! What's with those jeans?😂

Nasty bitch should've got ran over

Helpful video. I really want to install fog lights on my altima, but man that price tag on that combo switch

Does the ceramic coating help prevent buildup?

What the heck is a stapler looking trying 😂

Why would you pay so much for a shift knob😂❗️🤣 got mine for 20$ and it was leather on eBay . You could of had a feast with that money

Can't you talk any louder?? You're murmuring!

Hello I saw your old video of the Nissan Altima and you installed a switch with fog lights. What is the order number ? Thanks for the help

So it’s that easy you don’t need to put a sensor or nothing ???

Thanks man. Works that same with the Maxima.

Brother donde compró el sistema de q canbiastes yo tengo un nissan altima 2008 y quiero poner ese sistema

Do you need the switch?

Good job!

First of all; you are a soldier at Ft. Bliss...the soldier part was easy, as for Ft. Bliss, the rock wall (fences)...'kind of weird that a city mostly against a national border wall has so many walls...ha ha! Anyway, I am doing the same thing to a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. I am using Morimoto LEDs instead of any incandescent bulb units. Thanks for your tutorial!

IMPORTANT TIP 2:06 if you look at this clip and you DO see wires in all the spots then your car is already equiped with fog light engine harness which means its already wired to plug in fog lights. I was lucky after watching i noticed i do have all wires. I looked down in front of my battery and saw the fog light plug taped to the harness! All i needed was the wheel switch and lights and plugged right in!

I like how you did this the proper way. Im not sure how you know this much but I envy your knowledge

I have a nissan versa '15 and this switch fit in my car as well, I still have to wire it to the foglights hopefully I can find some pins somewhere. I was searching youtube for advice. I'm so Glad you posted your video. Im like, "yes! I found someone who knows what they're doing!" Lol Did you have to wire it to the relay provided with the foglights? Also, My foglights I bought also have running lights and blinkers on the bottom. I can get it to work but, Does anyone know of an accessory wire under the hood so I dont have to go through the firewall for the running lights?

Bro just wanted to say bro really great video man helped me out a lot bro you a real g brotha informative too

Thank you. Very instructional video. Thank goodness for Pull-a-part.

Thanks for taking the time to make this, I was just curious how hard it would be to make it as factory as possible. You kick ass!

my 2008 does have that wiring i put the multi control levers in connected the fogs to headlights one side wont come on bulbs are good m

What the name of it

Do u have to use the fog light switch or can I jus use the light switch to turn fog light on and off with the head lights?

How do you wire the two wires that come out of the fuse box ? I can’t get the lints to work ?

Hey I put these on like 6 months ago and the make crazy power,but you have had them 2 years .how are they holding boost after 2 years.

Excellent video brother!! Thank you!

Hey how is going I have quick questions about the wiring. Do you a have diagram how you did the wiring? I have all the parts already. thank you for your time

I have fog lights on my car already, so do I just need this switch, because it's not on there.

Did they fail on you ?

Hes still alive by the way. Crazy lil critter

Good job bro. 👍

Dealer charges $320 for the switch

Im on the search for the interior switch, cant find one anywhere local. Luckily it looks like mine is already wired from factory but no lights, should be easy if i get the switch

Switch assemblies are the same from '07 to '15. Any year will fit.

Ur video was really helpful

1:42 What are THOSE!!! Lol
