Good job. You’re the only person on all of TH-cam that has taken on changing/installing LED fog lights (or LED headlights, which is what I really need). Still, great video, sir!
****UPDATE**** the lights stopped working on 3/2023 and after testing all the connections I located the issue. The kit I purchased came with a relay, that relay is not waterproof. So replacing the relay and will keep everyone posted. Located a replacement relay 12v 30a for only $9.95 that’s waterproof on Amazon. irhapsody 4-PIN 40/30AMP 12V DC Waterproof Relay with Harness - Heavy Duty 12 AWG Tinned Copper Wires, 1 Pack SPST Automotive Relay www.amazon.com/dp/B08D8TSMFV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_jKpO9i38raV5Q
Just bought a 2022 Frontier don't have the fogs so I'm going to add them. Now I've watched this vid a few times and I know you had a problem swapping around your switches in your control panel. It's a piece of cake to do, the trick is each group of switches has a black frame that the switches snap into. You can see in your video there are silver screws that hold each group of switches into the grey dash panel. What you do is first release the harness hold-downs so you can move your switches then unscrew the black frames from the dash panel. With the little switch frame in your hand you can now see that the switches are being held in by the top and bottom clip in to the black frame, clips on the side of the switches does nothing. Now just take a small flat screwdriver and lift the top clip that holds the switch in, as your doing that put a little pressure on the back of the switch to push out. While holding pressure on the switch to keep the first clip from popping back in place take your screwdriver again and lift the bottom clip and the switch pops out. Now you can move all your switches to where ever you want. I know all the trucks are the same where they have the switches their scattered all over the place for some reason. So now I moved my switches to the two upper sections so now I don't have to reach all the way down to the bottom to get to any of the switches. They are now up where I can reach them easily and organized. On another note your harness hold-downs might not line up now depending on where you installed each switch just wire-tie the harness to the supports on the grey dash panel any place that's convenient and your done....hope this helps😃
I have the factory fog lights, but just like the headlamps the brightness is pathetic. I upgraded the headlights to LED, huge improvement over the factory halogen bulbs. In my area the speed limit is 25. It's very dark at night and the high-beams wont turn in automatic mode at low speed. I'm hoping putting the brightest LED into the fog lamp will help me see. It takes a H8 or H11 lamp.
Those plugs connect to the factory fog lights . You can buy the factory fog lights comes with the left and right and the Steering Console Combination Switch that you have to replace on the S and SV model that doesn’t come with fog lights
Thanks, the ones I got came with their own switch and no need for the steering console changes. I switched the red wire from direct to the battery to tapping onto the regular drive lights so they turn off on their own as well.
@@korian4342 If I remember correctly, kit I ordered had the cables red = power, Yellow = switch (tap onto headlight power), Black = ground. Don’t have the truck any longer, traded it in for a new Titan XD.
They do but it’s in a form of a plug. The kit I have does not come with the factory plug to use so I simply tapped onto the regular drive lights. So when the truck is turned off, all the lights will turn off together including the new fog lights. I also have the manual switch that came with the kit that I use to manually turn them on or off. The main power is fed from the tap I made on the regular drive lights.
@@ian276535 yes and no. Since I did install the switch that cam with the lights I can switch them off. I tapped into the mail lights so that I don’t forget to turn off the new lights. When I had them direct to the battery I would forget to turn them off. So now the main lights turn them automatically off for me. When the main lights are on, I can turn off the new lights using the switch if needed.
@@nachogtz3512 so technically I could just hook up these fog lights to the switch and I should be able to just turn them off and on myself without tapping into the main lights if I just hook up to the battery?
If you have the SV shortbed, the kit has the wiring harness you need. The truck does not come with it. I have the SV 6' (Longbed Edition) and the wiring harness was not included with the factory wiring set. The kit does come with the correct wiring harness set for this installation, but not the correct switch for my truck. For the switch wiring, you need to use an ignition 12V wire (red) from under the dash, this will light up the LED inside the button and give the switch the power to send the signal (yellow) to the relay to turn the lights on. The lights themselves get power directly from the battery terminal (or Add-A-Fuse) after the relay received the 'on' signal from the switch. For the ignition 12v power I ran a wire across the back of the firewall inside the truck to the glovebox and found a good source of ignition power there.

Was getting the panel off hard? I took out the screw and it seems like I need a lot of force to get the panel off, I'm just worried I'm gonna break it.
Yes, you are correct. I updated that, I connected to the lights instead so when they turn off the newly installed ones do to. I used to have to manual shut them off with the included switch. Now just leave them in since they turn off when the regular lights do.
To change the bulbs my guess would be to simply twist the connector to swap but yeah, don’t know if you would need to remove that under fender to get to them?
I’m about to change a bulb on my 22 SV because it went a little too deep in the water on that side and yeah, it looks like removing the entire wheel well is the easiest way to swap a single bulb. 🫠
Sorry need some additional details. “Wiring connectors for lights?” The kit I purchased came with the wires and switch. To connect the factory lights to the new lights I used a “connector”. This allows the power to the lights to be provided by the regular lights. The switch that came with the lights allow me to manually turn them on or off if needed. Now if you have two lights for each housing, then you may of received the incorrect parts? The kit comes with only one bulb per each light housing.
@@nachogtz3512 is there any way you could possibly make a video of how you added your recovery hooks. I Really want to add but im not sure how to remove the covers and add.
@@taylorheath6526 , the “recovery hooks” came with my Frontier, I simply removed with an impact wrench my buddy had, painted and re-installed. Two bolts per hook.

Black, red, yellow wires from switch inside come out to black ground, yellow continues to relay, red spliced onto factory lights power cable.

“Panel”? Which “panel”? The fender covers, the valance, the light housing?
Does the lights turn off when the vehicle is shutoff it looked like you ran both red wires directly to your battery
Yes, you are correct. I updated that, I connected to the lights instead so when they turn off the newly installed ones do to. I used to have to manual shut them off with the included switch. Now just leave them in since they turn off when the regular lights do.
