Just ordered some '02 factory fogs. i looked over the directions on Xterraparts.com but i was wondering if anyone else has done this yet and if they had any tips? It looks pretty straight foward, but you never know. Thanks in advance

If you already have the wiring in place, it's a piece of cake. They snap in and have one bolt on the bottom of each that holds them in. Good luck!

CURSE YOU RED BARON!!!!!!!!

After waiting like a little kid for the UPS truck to come, it finally shows up with my Fogs. Install was a breeze for the most part. Those damn little screws on the steering column finishers were a pain in the ass. Oh, that and the fact that the switch doesn't match up to my wiring harnesses. So now I get to wait a couple mroe days for the right signal switch.

The guys at Courtesy were great, and are shipping the right switch out promptly. I'm just glad I wasn't the first to have this problem and they knew exactly what they needed to do. I'll be buying from there again

FYI. The black steering column finisher (combi cover) can be a real pain. Of the 5 screws that hold it in, only the 2 in the middle at the steering wheel actually go into metal. If you are taking it off, remove the 2 outside ones and the 1 at bottom left first. Be VERY careful when putting these 3 back, as the cover will strip very easily. Just snug them up. the 2 in the middle are the ones that keep it tight to the bottom of the column.

Do your fogs automatically go on with your headlights?

I rewired them to come on with the parking lights. So now i keep them one whenever my lights are on, or whenever it's starting to get dark.

Why do so many people feel it's necessary to drive with their fog lights on? Are normal headlights not bright enough? Or so the fog lights don't get jealous of the headlights?

How much did you pay for the fog lights from the dealer?

Yea, how much did you pay??
xterraparts.com has the kit for a whopping $350!

ouch!
thats the same cost as the sport package(invoce price) on the 02 XE model!
