Nissan Frontier Fog Light Installation (I took off the bumper, but you don't have to)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Installation of the factory fog lights and turn signal switch on a 2018 Nissan Frontier SV Crew Cab with the plastic bumper.
I took the bumper off, but you can definitely got through the wheel well without taking off the bumper. I will show you what you're looking for either way, and how everything goes in.
Bought all the parts on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...

Two years later and you're still helping people. Well done and thank you.
Thank you for this detailed video. I just finished installing on my truck. As a non- mechanic, I really appreciate the whole view you gave us. I knew, beforehand what everything looked like back there and where everything was supposed to go. You saved me a whole lotta time and frustration - only one F bomb dropped. Thanks again
DUDE GREAT VIDEO!!! I've watched god knows how many videos on different Nissan's I've had over the years to help with maintenance/accessories and this was easily one of the best one I've watched well done man i have no doubt i'll be able to install these with easy after watching your video!!
Thanks for posting this video! Their is hardly anything out there for Nissan Frontiers. This helped me out a lot during my install. I repeat, very helpful.
Great video. I just added OEM fog lights to my Frontier. All I did was removed the 4 screws holding the wheel well cover, it's alot faster than pulling off the whole front end

Thanks for this. I had been looking for a video that shows how to remove the plastic bumper cover. A lot easier than I thought it would be.
Great video bro. Thanks for taking the time to explain and point everything out in an efficient and not annoying manner.
I put fog lifhts on my 05 Xterra and never removed the bumper, i just went thru tire well. Lol took me 20 minutes
wow love your video, great job by the way, I ordered the same kit for my 2017 Nissan Frontier crew cab, got to thinking there must be an easier way for install because eventually you will have to replace your fog light bulbs, what I done was removed the bottom two screws from the bottom of the bumper that goes threw the bottom of the inner wheel cover and then the two inside screws holding the inner wheel cover into place then pulled back the cover and gained easy access to the fog light holes and wiring, but I know I couldn't have done it without your video, Thanks so much
Mr. Kieffer, just wanted to thank-you for this video. I just installed fog lights and the correct switch to turn them on as well. I did however buy after market imitation ones for a total of $66.00. Everything works just as it should.
Same process for 05 Armada. I did the same upgrade.
Thanks for taking the time to make a very clear installation video!!!
Excellent job you did in this video, very clear ,precise instructions, will be doing fog lights this weekend after watching you video... Thank you...
Great DIY Video... Followed it to a "T" as per video. No surprises. Thank you. Saved me from having a ugly light bar and saved me at least $300 to $500.
Awesome video!!! Love how you made everything easy to understand. For those who want to do this but cant afford the $200+… i just ordered all the parts to do mine. What I found for the turn signal stalk wasnt originally for a frontier. I ran the parts number on the stalk that is in my truck, found a matching one that was OEM on an 03 Infinity. Mine was “Niles 14xxx” I can’t remember the numbers off the top of my head. Anyway it was $18 shipped and has the auto headlight switch if i ever install an ambient light sensor. The kits are very expensive when you can source original parts yourself on a budget. Just the route i took. Spent $70 total for LED fogs, the stalk, and plastic rings. Still waitin on the plastic rings so just the stalk has been installed so far, works great!
Thank you. Best how to install Nissan frontier OTM Fog Lights on KZread!!
Great job. I have no need for this video, but your presentation skills and editing are top notch.
Thanks for the tutorial video. I placed mine on my 2019 Frontier in about one hour. The first one took the longest to install since I was using your video as a guide. Thank again for the assistance.

Yes, only thing I did not do was remove the entire bump. I installed the lights by removing three screws from the fender well in order to install and secure the lights.
Wow nice job.... I went cheap on my 2015 Frontier as I wanted a set of running lights not necessarily fog lights. Found a set of LED lights almost same diameter as the factory hole on eBay ($30) but I was able to pry off the fake cover, attach the light and separately wire each LED light to a fuse in the fuse box that powers on only when the car is running. I did not use the factory wire harness nor install the steering wheel control. I also didn't have to take off the bumper.
Very nice! That was really good and detailed.
great video and easy to follow, but you can access the fog light location through the wheel well. look for other videos and you can save a lot of time. Not being critical of this guy, again it's a great video. You can just save some time by not removing the front bumper. Awesome thing about the Frontier is fog lights are prewired when not equipped. Mud flaps can be installed in predrilled locations. Running boards are also ready to mount in factory locations and I recently discovered electric brake controllers for towing are also prewired, where not factory installed. This is absolutely a great truck!!
Great explanation and editing. Good job 👍
Well appreciated video! Great explanations and great view. Just finished installing them on my truck and they look perfect! Thank you!!

Great! I was wondering how to add the fog lights. It's great that Nissan didn't change the Frontier body since 2005. I have a 2015 and it is perfect for a daily driver. I have the 6 ft bed with a high rise cap so I can haul 50 banker boxes in it which makes it handy because I work in a Record Center.
Good video, but I have a 2014 frontier crew cab and my dad has a 2018 crew cab and I do this at the dealer when I worked there, but didn’t have to drop the bumper, we went in through the fender wells with the wheels turned. The whole process with the lights and new OEM switch was all done in 40 minutes at our dealer
Couldn't have asked to have a better install just like you said .. Only i just took the inner fender wells out to install the fog lights..thanks
Thanks for the video I've ordered me the kit job well done
Thanks! I didn't need to take my bumper off but the 10mm retaining screw @ 4:33 was killing me, haha
Excellent video no drama very easy to follow.

not dramatic at all !
I just went the wheel well. took out four screws hold it to the bumper and fender. I had hard time getting the screws holding the light started. Still a lot easier than taking the whole bumper off.
Thanks man. That second 10mm under the fenders is a pain
I just did LED 4" with a relay and a Nissan switch cost me under 100.00 Also way better then the stock incandescent fogs by far.
easy install without removing bumper. Still well done on the front end removal.
Great video!…thanks for posting it!
I did a 2016 and worked it through the wheel well. No bumper removal required.
Comprehensive video man. Thanks!

Thanks bro. Nice and easy.
Great video, thank you.
I have a 2014 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SV. Easy installation and fits as promised. You don't need to remove the bumper to install just pull back the wheel well covers, just a few screws to remove. Just make sure to hook the screw cap on the hole before you clip in the clip side. It will save you a lot of backtracking to fit.

Like I said in the description, you can get to it through the wheel well. I think it helps to see what's there without the bumper for my video, but I agree you don't need to take it off.
Thanks for the detailed video. Did you consider a bullbar w light bar?
Ty!! You da man!! Soo much appreciated!!
Hey good video, but i just wanted to say there is no need to remove the bumper. If you take the wheels off and remove the 4 Phillip's screws that hold the front of the splash guard in place you can pull the fender liner back and have all the room you need to put the lights in. Much faster and you dont have to take as much stuff apart. Also the wiring is right there too.

Same, I did not have to take off the bumper. Just 2 inside the wheel well.
I have a 2017 Pathfinder, I wonder if it’s similar procedure. I have the OEM fog light kit from Nissan sitting in my garage for over a year. I have seen videos on pathfinder but not as detailed as yours.
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?
Nice sweet. Thank you!!
Are the bulbs for the oem fog light kit replaceable, if you wanted led bulbs?
nice video. i got a 04 frontier i would like to do this too. where did you order your light kit thanks
So, it looks like it is easier and cheaper to just put a light bar on? Does a light bars work for fog? I am fixing to buy my first vehicle/truck.. The roads I have to drive are very dark and foggy at times. Interested in hearing what yall think.
Hey Question.. I have a 2013 Frontier extra cab. Not a crew cab. Where do you go to order OME Foglights for my truck. You made it look so simple. Do you think i have the same set up just plug in and go. I want to put on my own foglights. Thank you for your time. Anthony Saylor St. Joesph Missouri
what is the name of that type of braket, I bought a kit and they were not included
👏🏻 👍 good job
Hi, I am interested in these but i have 2016 nissan frontier king cab. Will this fit?
Nice !! Thank You
Can you swap out the bulbs for leds easily?
Quick question, can you adjust the fog lights? Up or down ??
I went to the junkyard and grab one of those switches for 20 dlls. But wait, the switch I got it’s from a Nissan Maxima 2008, and yes it fit my Nissan Frontier. I just install it and test all the lights, all. Work just fine. Good thing my frontier has a metal chromed front bumper it was really easy.

That's what I like about Nissan, a lot of their parts are interchangeable even between cars and trucks.
where can you buy these extra clips
I give you props for figuring all of that out! Great job! Not something I would attempt even thought I would love to have foglights on my Frontier. I wonder what the dealer would charge for installation of the foglights? Any idea?

No idea. I feel like everything they touch is expensive. This is pretty doable if just you go through the wheel well. You don't have take off the bumper like I did.

Are the fog lights fixed or they have to be aimed the like the headlights?

Thanks for the great video. I'm still not clear on how the clip that gets the screw attaches to the bumper and the light. The one that pushes through the light is easy to see but you never show any close-up of the bracket that gets the bolt that tightens it down on that side. Any tips or added info anyone can share?

i having the same problem, the video goes from putting clips on then skips and the light is already in place. Think the clip goes on the tab on the bumper with threads pointed in and light frame goes over that confusing as all the other tabs are outside the light assembly.
@KiefferProjects

I agree, I should have show that a bit better. It just snaps in on the one side, and the provided screw secures it on the other. The screw has a clip that goes on the bumper first.

@@KiefferProjects I figured it out, the metal clip with threads goes on the bumper tab and that side of assembly goes on outside the tab where the other two side inside the tabs, pretty easy once figured it out, the second side went on in 1/10th the time. would have been much easier to figure if I took the bumper off like you did but I did mine in place. Thanks again for the video gave me good start.

Do you recommend if I would just install thru the wheel well instead of taking apart the bumper. Is that possible?

Yeah, I’d definitely try that first. I think you can bend that plastic back enough on the wheel well and get right in there.

At least 100 miles an hour faster! 🤣😂
Whoelse was just watching to find out if Nissan put the plugs there lol
You should apply for a job at a Nissan dealership,,,,thats the way they do simple jobs so they can charge by the hour. I did it by reading the comments, 4 screws, a 10 mm socket, 15 minutes and done.
Wait wait wait so the wires are already there and wired up just waiting for me to put the fog lights in and add the right switch ????????
