For those who want to do this install on a 2005-2007 Xterra, the factory kit isn't compatible anymore. (The switch is for 08 and newer.) However you can order an OEM switch (Standard Motor Product: CBS-1668) and buy after market lights or get a used set, and the mounting hardware. (Nissan used Velo brand lights) I chose to buy a used OE set as the quality is higher. Most used units have one screw tab broken off. This is fine as you only need one. Just make sure the good tabs are on opposite sides and you'll have a working pair. With those parts in hand, Ry makes the rest easy with this excellent video! Install was a breeze! Thank you, Ry for this and all your excellent videos.
Awesome! I'm in disbelief how simple this was, had no idea the wiring harness was already in place for this. I will definitely be getting some fog lights to add to my Xterra :) Thanks!
Good info. I recommend a simpler, quicker way. All I did was turn they wheel (to give you more room) then remove the retainer screws (3ea) on wheel well. Pull back the plastic and after that you’ll have easy access.
My granddaughters xterra has hazed headlight assemblies, and the turn signal stalk is worn and doesn't turn off when the wheel is turned. Ry has shown the bumper cover has to be removed to replace headlight assemblies. This video shows it would be easy to install fog lights while the cover is off, and when replacing the worn turn signal stalk, use one with a fog light switch. Great video!
Awesome videos brother !! It's so nice to watch the job before actually doing it. Many Thanks !! Just a friendly tip that was passed on to me and i pass onto others is turning screws backwards first with plastic anchors. Most of the time these threads are made the first time the screw was installed. Turning it backwards until you feel a bump allows the same threads to be used instead of cutting new ones over the old ones.
Thank you!! Just did this on my 2019 Frontier today. Good old Nissan--everything's the same! I just sneaked in through the plastic fender wells and all was good. Referred to your video when I got confused attaching the fog lights. You saved me!
Oh man, that sucks! Hope you get everything you need. One thing I would say is take the front bumper cover off and make sure nothing else is damaged. A lot of stuff is hidden by those plastic bumper covers. They bounce back very easily.
Thanks for the video! With the Frontier there is no need to remove the bumper. Just move tires with starting wheel and you’ll have a few screws and you’ll have access through the back of the bumper. The wires should be hanging instead of tied up. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, you have saved me a lot of money and time. Purchased a 2006 nissan xterra a few months ago, and even though I looked it over good I discovered a lot of problems, needless to say this is when I found you. Just got finished installing my OEM fog lights, no stress and fuss. Thanks so much. I have changed my headlights, PDM, had to repair the drivers side window, and I am still not done. The Evap is giving me a code and the catalyst converter as well.. when I have time I work on it.. thanks so much.
I have a 2014 X model. All the literature I read said my model DID NOT have pre-installed wiring. Well last night some jerk stole my cap/cover and I look inside and saw what I thought looked like a plug...well sure enough, looks like my Xterra DOES have wiring pre-installed! So maybe I'll be getting new lights instead of a new cap/cover!
@@800ccc that harness does not exist it only came out for the 2014 or 2015 models but you might as well just add an LED light bar that will give you more light if you want lights on the roof.
I've noticed the lights don't fit tightly against the bumper housing. I'm thinking about putting some type of weather stripping around the housing so it has a good seal around the lights.
this is cool ! this is the second video i have ever watched from you and now i feel like i have to confidence to go to a "u-pull=it" and salvage a "kit". Thank you!
Really great job explaining how to do these jobs, do you know of a way to make fog lights stay on, separate of the other lights. My Frontier fog lights only operate on low beam.
For anyone who want to put fog lights on Nissan PATHFINDER r50 00-04 or 05 (GCC ) what you need is fog light turning stock (make sure that if your stock has a auto mode to get one that has auto with fog switch cuz it's different than the one without auto) and front fog relay ,after that it's plug and play
Hi from Oamaru New Zealand. I have a similar setup in my 2012 Nissan Navara D40 diesel (Frontier in U.S.A). Anyways I sustained big damage from a farm dog left loose at night which I hit at 60 m.p.h. It was cheaper for me to buy and install a new "Ironman" Commercial deluxe Bullbar which has all new lites on plus protection.
@@Rythecarguy Dog saga was when dogs were on heat (in season) but farmer left it loose to roam. Dogs here on farms are cattle or sheep herding dogs. Regarding the Navara D40 diesel the closest for you to buy in left hooker is out of Spain if you can. I'm running mine on Amsoil Signature series diesel oil and gear oils. The moment I changed it, it was way quieter and smoother. I'm very lucky to had purchased this as my 2008 jeep Wrangler diesel JKU was costing me $1500 per year with random issues and gear shift lever popping out of linkage which made it very dangerous so I opted to park it up then finance the Navara for 3 yrs. In that 3 yrs it's so reliable it only cost me for a set of Toyo open country A/t tires, diesel milesl tax, fuel etc. Carl
You did that like magic, it was good to watch. i have the latest nissan juke n design 2021 mod. but came out without fog lamps in the front , though have the place for them. can it be done practically the same way , and could you tell me where to get a kit? thank you .
Thank you! That's exactly why I make these videos. Its super rewarding to work on your own car (not to mention a hell of a lot cheaper) and I want others to feel that way too. Good stuff.
You should make a video installing steering wheel controls on an Xterra that doesn't come with them, using a Metra's ASWC-1 adapter. There are some guides on thenewx forums but the pictures are gone. A video would be great!
I have a 2006 Pathfinder and would like to know if these steps would be similar so I can install fog lights on my Pathfinder? (sorry if this question have been asked before. I didn't read all the comments)
I would love to add the pro 4x off-road factory lights on top. I wonder if that is also pre wired. I’ve looked to videos for that application but all I find is led or light bar installs, which I’m not fond of.
Hi i have a frontier 2006 metal bumper and have the wire for the fog light. My question is you change the switch light because the model of the exterra don't have the switch for the fogs to work with the oem wired. Do you know the wire color or number the fog oem switch use to turn on the fogs. Only if i don want to by the whole ligth switch, i want to do it with a external switch but with the oem wire. I hope i explain my question. Thanks great video
Hi I know this is a really old video, but I'm praying someone is still reading comments- at 6:19 you're holding the fog light electrical connector- it branches off from another bundle of wires... can you tell me what that bundle leads to? I was in a head on collision and I'm trying to do my own repairs, but cannot for the life of me figure out what this thing is or where it's supposed to go- it's a white rectangular block, maybe 1x1x3" with two bolt holes in it. Thanks!
Most of the kits I see have a toggle switch that replaces one of the blank switches in the dash. Aren't those just as good?, and no need to mess with a new stalk.
Best how-to videos out there. Headlights and fog lights went in exactly as you said. However, the steering column switch I ordered through the link on your page was slightly different and doesn't fit. I'm hoping they will let me return or exchange just the switch since the fog lights are already installed. Also, I didn't take off the front bumper entirely. I unscrewed everything from the top and sides and as it was hanging, it exposed the work area enough to do the job. Thanks again for great videos. Any advice on the switch would be welcomed.
Hi! Have you heard of the SMOD on these xterra’s? Does it affect all 2nd gen version? And can you make a detailed video on how to switch the coolant hoses and transmission cooler hoses please. Thanks a lot!
Yes it affects second generation Xterras. No I cannot make a video. It only affects automatic transmissions since they have the trans cooler. The manuals do not and mine is a manual. Thanks for watching!
SMOD does not affect all 2nd gen Xterra's, only those made prior to the 2010 model year and are equipped with automatic transmissions. In the 2010 model year Nissan introduced a new radiator with a different part number and SMOD is not a problem on 2010 model year Xterras and newer.
Greetings ry,I have a 2007 nissan xterra se.can you please tell where exactly is the turn signal relay.i hear the clicking but I can't pinpoint where it is.please help.I will most greatly appreciate it.
I have a 2016 nissan frontier without foglights.I watched this video and was wondering if this was true.I pulled off the plastic caps and I looked inside and I had the wiring inside.So what web site I can get the turn signal/ foglights?
Now...how about the 2006 nissan frontier SE. It has the wiring but having issues with the switch. Just wondering if it's the same way or do I have to replace the whole column system
@@OnePancho no, so I took a chance on my idea, go ahead and put fog lights in, on the column...just change only the blinker switch. It has locking clips. You will see. Just buy the one for your truck that's close. The trucks are made to have them, they just dont install them to lower the cost of the truck. Let me know if you need further information
can this be done with the car jacked up and tires taken off for easier access to the fog lights? Of course I will have some Jack Stands and wood blocks as well preventing car from dropping down. looking to do this on my 06 nissan frontier as I already added the Fog light Signal Switch So I am ready to go.
Thank you for such a great video! I found a light switch stock at the junk yard (which worked great by the way) however it also has the "AUTO" option for the Daytime Running Light System. Do you know if I could also get the dash sensor and install it on my Xterra like I did with the switch?
Wow, you made that look easy! One of the best "how to" videos I've ever seen, thanks!~ ONE question. I want to use my fog lights as daytime running lights. Can the fog lights be turned on without the headlights???
Thank you! I really appreciate that. Unfortunately if you are using the stalk then you cannot. You could however wire these to a switch. Then supply the power from a source that turns off when the car is off.
I noticed that it shows 2008-15 Xterra, but will it also fit for the 2006 Xterra? Asking before I buy the other type with the push button which I would rather not..
Not sure why this wouldn’t work on my chrome/metal bumper. It has plastic casing where the fog lights go on my 2007 Frontier. I don’t see any other purchase options out there anywhere for the chrome bumper fog light kit.
Ry that video was very very very very helpful...l have a question?.. on a 2008 Nissan armada se that can without fog lights does the same steps apply for the Amana as Nissan Xterra?..
I just acquired the 2007 model that comes with fog lights installed without the correct turn signal controller. I located the part from your recommended Amazon listing, 25560 ET11E, and have no ideal where to buy it. I don't want to buy the entire kit, just the right controller. Can you help?
Off topic- have you encountered the following lights coming on and staying on? ABS VDC SLIP I have no brake issues that I’m aware of. Changed my front pads (using your video, great btw) And no other symptoms.
Unfortunately I have not. However if you check out the xterra forums or the facebook groups there is usually a lot of material on it. You are not alone!
Hey man, I have a 2010 Xterra I did this same thing on after watching your video, but the lights don’t turn on...checked the fuses and everything I can think of, still nothing, any thoughts??
I was hoping to see how to remove the light gray part of the bumper (tray, I guess) Just got a push bumper and hopefully don't have to remove the whole front to install it.
There are five bolts on the bottom of that and the top just clips in. You should have no issue taking just the lower part off, but keep in mind that there is nuts more bumper under that.
Love the videos Ry, I’ve gotten into most of the work on my 2011 frontier cause of these. Question for you, recently my fog lights won’t turn on. I replaced the 15a fuse and battery fuse and still no luck. Bulbs are both fine. Any ideas? Is there an independent relay?
I went to change the turn/light stalk and tis is a different plug. I have an 07 x and ordered the correct part. It looks like the one in your video. Help if you can. Thanks
2015 XTerra. This is the first time I've seen a split in the 2nd generation year range for a part, and I'm wondering if it has to do with the wiring harness. I have a 2005 XTerra, Off Road 4×4 4.0L. when I used your link for Xterra, the kit that comes up on Amazon has some confusing information. In the "Description" section it says it fits 2005-2015 XTerra, but below that in the "Features and Details" section it says it fits 2008 - 2015 XTerra. I also found a combination turn signal/ Fog Light switch on eBay that says it fits 2005 - 2007 XTerra with Fog Lights. Do you think this is because the 2005 - 2007 Xterra doesn't have the wiring harness? That would be typical for the way my luck runs.
Update: Now I'm even more confused. I did some research and found some forums where people were saying if you have a 2005 - 2007 XTerra with the "S" Trim package, you will have the wiring harness for the fog lights. In response there were other posts stating that not all of the "S" Trim packages for those years have the wiring harness. Someone else said: "To avoid confusion about your Trim package, look in the door jam and there will be a sticker with the model number and the Trim version". Like I said before, I have an Off-road model so I didn't know what to expect. My sticker shows me having the "X" Trim package. So, needless to say, I was very disappointed. I checked the sticker at about 1:00am on a Saturday night, in the rain, so I wasn't about to crawl under the vehicle and look. So, this morning I was removing the rear bumper (got rear ended a few weeks ago) and I was already on my creeper, so I decided to take a look under the front and see if anything was visible. Well, low and behold, there was an orange connector, just like the one in this video, taped to the harness. Now, I assume that wiring goes all the way into the steering column, so now my confusion is whether I should buy the turn signal arm that says for 2005 - 2007 XTerra with fog lights? My XTerra is in really good condition. Most people can't believe it's a 2005 model. I take good care of it. I plan on keeping it, so I want to add the extra features it doesn't have. I already added a new head unit with a touch screen, and installed a backup camera. If I win the lottery, I'm putting a supercharger on it and moving up from smoking 5.0 Mustangs to smoking GT500 Mustangs. lol. Anyway. I appreciate any advice or insights if anyone reads this.
Excellent friend, I will do it with my xterra. I never put these fog lights on it. Now I know I can do it myself. What brand can I use and that is compatible with the size that my xterra needs?
Hey there, nice work. I ordered a kit that has the dash mount on / off switch for mine. I want to know what you did with your old turn signal indicator? Do you still have it? Mine is not working right and I would like to buy it from you?
Hey guys I want to get HiDs for my 2010 Xterra but they’re giving me 2 options for the size either H11A or H11B any idea which one is the correct size for this car??
Are 2005-2007 configuration different from 2008-2015? A junk yard just recieved a 2005 xterra and I noticed foglights on them. I have a 2015 xterra...are they interchangeable?
For those who want to do this install on a 2005-2007 Xterra, the factory kit isn't compatible anymore. (The switch is for 08 and newer.) However you can order an OEM switch (Standard Motor Product: CBS-1668) and buy after market lights or get a used set, and the mounting hardware. (Nissan used Velo brand lights) I chose to buy a used OE set as the quality is higher. Most used units have one screw tab broken off. This is fine as you only need one. Just make sure the good tabs are on opposite sides and you'll have a working pair. With those parts in hand, Ry makes the rest easy with this excellent video! Install was a breeze! Thank you, Ry for this and all your excellent videos.
hey you can access the mounting aera through fender well, without taking off whole bumper cover.....
I just looked today. There is a small access. It is a little tight but I am going to try to do it without taking off the bumper.
Good to know when i need to change the bulb
My husband is 52 years a mechanic he said that was the best ins, video he ever saw, Thanksyou
Wow! What an amazing compliment. Thank you very much. :)
Awesome! I'm in disbelief how simple this was, had no idea the wiring harness was already in place for this. I will definitely be getting some fog lights to add to my Xterra :) Thanks!
Can it work on exterra 06?
Ry you’re one of the best I’ve seen……..amazing teaching technique……clear, precise, and amazingly professional
Thanks Kenny Kenny. I appreciate it! 👍🏻💪🏻🤘🏻
I love xterras. My 2004 is such a breeze when it comes to repairs. Definitely 1 of the easiest vehicles I've ever worked on.
Second gens are not as easy but still not bad. Thanks for watching.
Good info. I recommend a simpler, quicker way. All I did was turn they wheel (to give you more room) then remove the retainer screws (3ea) on wheel well. Pull back the plastic and after that you’ll have easy access.
I used a stubby Phillips head for accessing the securing screw.
I like the way you think
Oh yeah, much easier and it was a 20/30 minute install. If I ever do it again, I bet I could do it in 15 minutes. 👍
My granddaughters xterra has hazed headlight assemblies, and the turn signal stalk is worn and doesn't turn off when the wheel is turned. Ry has shown the bumper cover has to be removed to replace headlight assemblies. This video shows it would be easy to install fog lights while the cover is off, and when replacing the worn turn signal stalk, use one with a fog light switch. Great video!

Just buy the one for your truck that's close. The trucks are made to have them, they just dont install them to lower the cost of the truck. Let me know if you need further information
can this be done with the car jacked up and tires taken off for easier access to the fog lights? Of course I will have some Jack Stands and wood blocks as well preventing car from dropping down. looking to do this on my 06 nissan frontier as I already added the Fog light Signal Switch So I am ready to go.
Sure! You can access it from below. Just a Little tighter.
Thank you for such a great video!
I found a light switch stock at the junk yard (which worked great by the way) however it also has the "AUTO" option for the Daytime Running Light System. Do you know if I could also get the dash sensor and install it on my Xterra like I did with the switch?
Ohhhh I actually don't know but I love that idea.
Wow, you made that look easy! One of the best "how to" videos I've ever seen, thanks!~ ONE question. I want to use my fog lights as daytime running lights. Can the fog lights be turned on without the headlights???
Thank you! I really appreciate that. Unfortunately if you are using the stalk then you cannot. You could however wire these to a switch. Then supply the power from a source that turns off when the car is off.
Wondering why you didn't go through the wheelwell panel?
I like to do things the most difficult way possible. It’s a character flaw of mine.
I noticed that it shows 2008-15 Xterra, but will it also fit for the 2006 Xterra? Asking before I buy the other type with the push button which I would rather not..
Hey nice I didn't know it would be that easy. I have a new project when it gets warmer!
Yea, its wild. I LOVE when car companies just use the same wiring harness for every trim level.
Not sure why this wouldn’t work on my chrome/metal bumper. It has plastic casing where the fog lights go on my 2007 Frontier. I don’t see any other purchase options out there anywhere for the chrome bumper fog light kit.
it looks like my frontier is mostly the same BUT i want driving lights. great instructions.
Really helpful, isthere
How about for a nissan xterra 2006? It's already pre wire but I don't know when it comes to the switch. The that one switch says from 2008 and up.
You'll have to go to a salvage yard.
Does the refreshed front grill off the 2010-15 models fit the 05-09’ bumpers??
Oh god I wish. I would do that swap in a heartbeat. But alas, they are shaped differently:(
Ry that video was very very very very helpful...l have a question?..
on a 2008 Nissan armada se that can without fog lights does the same steps apply for the Amana as Nissan Xterra?..
Videos like this that’s well explained it’s worth it watching it
Hi bro, can you please send me the link of that fog light you ordered online, I ordered, but it has missing parts. Thanks a lot.
I just acquired the 2007 model that comes with fog lights installed without the correct turn signal controller. I located the part from your recommended Amazon listing, 25560 ET11E, and have no ideal where to buy it. I don't want to buy the entire kit, just the right controller. Can you help?
Could you access lights by removing the wheel well?
Yes you can
Off topic- have you encountered the following lights coming on and staying on?
ABS
VDC
SLIP
I have no brake issues that I’m aware of. Changed my front pads (using your video, great btw)
And no other symptoms.
Unfortunately I have not. However if you check out the xterra forums or the facebook groups there is usually a lot of material on it. You are not alone!
Hey man, I have a 2010 Xterra I did this same thing on after watching your video, but the lights don’t turn on...checked the fuses and everything I can think of, still nothing, any thoughts??
Sell it!!
@@PETERJlirot toxxiiiiicccccc
Wire them with their own separate wiring harness / switch wired from battery.
I have a 4x4 Xterra SE. Would the roof lights wiring be in place as well or is that reserved for the Pro 4-X?
It does not appear to be the case. Vehicles with roof lights have a 3-screw plate where the wiring exits the roof.
Bummer!
Thank you for the video! Would you foresee any changes or differences with a 2014 X model?
Do you have link to the one that controls the fog lights for 2005 Model Xterra??? The one I found only does 2008-2015 and does not fit mine says?
I was hoping to see how to remove the light gray part of the bumper (tray, I guess) Just got a push bumper and hopefully don't have to remove the whole front to install it.
There are five bolts on the bottom of that and the top just clips in. You should have no issue taking just the lower part off, but keep in mind that there is nuts more bumper under that.
Thank you so much I totally feel confident enough to do it myself now!
You're welcome!! Btw you can probably get to the back of the bumpers through the wheel wells and avoid removing the bumper. 👍🏻👍🏻
Love the videos Ry, I’ve gotten into most of the work on my 2011 frontier cause of these. Question for you, recently my fog lights won’t turn on. I replaced the 15a fuse and battery fuse and still no luck. Bulbs are both fine. Any ideas? Is there an independent relay?
Is it possible to do it without removing the front bumper ???
Ry where did u get that control arm for the fog lights and headlights in the fog light video
Any idea where I can buy those small adapters. Order some fog lights but unfortunately didn’t come with none of that
I went to change the turn/light stalk and tis is a different plug. I have an 07 x and ordered the correct part. It looks like the one in your video. Help if you can. Thanks
2015 XTerra. This is the first time I've seen a split in the 2nd generation year range for a part, and I'm wondering if it has to do with the wiring harness. I have a 2005 XTerra, Off Road 4×4 4.0L. when I used your link for Xterra, the kit that comes up on Amazon has some confusing information. In the "Description" section it says it fits 2005-2015 XTerra, but below that in the "Features and Details" section it says it fits 2008 - 2015 XTerra. I also found a combination turn signal/ Fog Light switch on eBay that says it fits 2005 - 2007 XTerra with Fog Lights. Do you think this is because the 2005 - 2007 Xterra doesn't have the wiring harness? That would be typical for the way my luck runs.
Update: Now I'm even more confused. I did some research and found some forums where people were saying if you have a 2005 - 2007 XTerra with the "S" Trim package, you will have the wiring harness for the fog lights. In response there were other posts stating that not all of the "S" Trim packages for those years have the wiring harness. Someone else said: "To avoid confusion about your Trim package, look in the door jam and there will be a sticker with the model number and the Trim version". Like I said before, I have an Off-road model so I didn't know what to expect. My sticker shows me having the "X" Trim package. So, needless to say, I was very disappointed. I checked the sticker at about 1:00am on a Saturday night, in the rain, so I wasn't about to crawl under the vehicle and look. So, this morning I was removing the rear bumper (got rear ended a few weeks ago) and I was already on my creeper, so I decided to take a look under the front and see if anything was visible. Well, low and behold, there was an orange connector, just like the one in this video, taped to the harness. Now, I assume that wiring goes all the way into the steering column, so now my confusion is whether I should buy the turn signal arm that says for 2005 - 2007 XTerra with fog lights? My XTerra is in really good condition. Most people can't believe it's a 2005 model. I take good care of it. I plan on keeping it, so I want to add the extra features it doesn't have. I already added a new head unit with a touch screen, and installed a backup camera. If I win the lottery, I'm putting a supercharger on it and moving up from smoking 5.0 Mustangs to smoking GT500 Mustangs. lol. Anyway. I appreciate any advice or insights if anyone reads this.
Excellent friend, I will do it with my xterra. I never put these fog lights on it. Now I know I can do it myself.
What brand can I use and that is compatible with the size that my xterra needs?
No idea to be honest. I used stock fog lights off of another Xterra.
Hi man. Nice Xterra videos. I have an 06, would the column switch from 05-12 Xterra/Frontier work? Or only 05-08?
Thanks in advance.
Jeffrey D did you ever figure this out? I have an 06 as well
Thank you! Just installed with great help from this vid!
Thank you Ry
Hey there, nice work. I ordered a kit that has the dash mount on / off switch for mine. I want to know what you did with your old turn signal indicator? Do you still have it? Mine is not working right and I would like to buy it from you?
Another brilliant review Ry learned so much with your help
Any idea where I can find the hardware for the fog light?
Clip 01554-0007U
Nut 12141-0009U
Screw 08146-6165G
Any idea where can i get this lovely kit for Nissan Xterra 2005? I can't find it in Amazon nor Ebay
Does the whole bumper need to come off if your just replacing the housing? (Someone kicked in and shattered the lens on one of my fog lights...)
You should be able to reach them through the wheel well if you remove the inner covers.
if those are glass you need to apply some kind of protective film or they will break pretty quick from rocks.
Nope, just really clear plastic.
Do you know if first gen xterra’s are plug and play like this too?
Hey guys I want to get HiDs for my 2010 Xterra but they’re giving me 2 options for the size either H11A or H11B any idea which one is the correct size for this car??
Hello sir, do you know if the 2005 and 2007 xterra parts compatible? I found an 05 at a junk yard I want to pick apart
Will the fog light work for a 05 Nissan Xterra.
Just installed this kit and when I turn the switch I do not get the fog lights to turn on any suggestions?
great stuff! Didnt know the wiring was there! Is it possible to expect a video how to install OEM cruise control? Is it plug and play as well?
No, I’m sorry but I’m not planning on that. Maybe some day!
Do you have any information if its plug and play similar to fog lights?
Are 2005-2007 configuration different from 2008-2015?
A junk yard just recieved a 2005 xterra and I noticed foglights on them. I have a 2015 xterra...are they interchangeable?
No, I do not believe they are compatible with the face-lifted Xterraa
@@Rythecarguy Thank you for the response
How do know if your car has fog lighting connector la allready in it?
