How do you mount factory foglights on an S14? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I bought a '96 S14 Base model. I managed to find a pair of used factory foglights (from the SE/LE models) on eBay and want to install them this weekend. Can anyone tell me how to mount the foglights to the front bumper assembly? I'm not concerned about wiring them up - just need to know how to mount the foglight housings in the first place -it's not very intuitive looking at the lights/brackets.

Thanks!

do you have the brackets and the nuts? if so, then you're set. the holes are already there for you to mount those brackets.

The foglights do not mount to the bumper, the plastic covers on the bumper just need to be snapped off. And the mounting holes are on the bumper support bracket. The bumper must removed to do so... If you're lucky, remove the headlights and you'll notice that the fog light harness is taped to the headlight harness. Yes it's pre-wired!

Terrific, thanks for the tips guys! I didn't realize that the bumper needed to be removed altogether to mount the foglights, but it certainly explains why I couldn't see the mounting holes.

The brackets & nuts did come with the foglights. Sounds like it should be a pretty straightforward project. Thanks again!
