• Lights the road directly in front of you
• Should be used in tandem with headlights to cut through fog
• Replace when not working as it should

In subpar weather conditions, your Nissan's fog lights help you drive by illuminating the curves and road patterns ahead. When either one of them dies or malfunctions, it can detract from your ability to see what's in front of you.

Unlike your headlights, fog lights were created to “cut through” rather than mirroring difficult weather conditions like dust, rain, and fog. Thanks to their specialized construction, Nissan fog lights project at a wider but shorter range than headlights, which is why they should be used in tandem with headlights rather than in place of them.

The Fog Lights in your Nissan can act up due to underlying problems in the electrical system — which can make the lights flicker, become dimmer than normal, or not turn on at all. Alternatively, the bulbs themselves can also burn out completely with age or crack due to impact or electric problems.

Typically, fog lights last around 30,000 hours prior to requiring a replacement.

But, if you forget to turn yours off or have an undiagnosed electrical issue, you may need to replace your fog lights more often. If your Fog Lights are flickering, or dead — get authentic Nissan-made Fog Lights replacement for best-in-class fitment and function.

Replacing Fog Lights can be an easy DIY car service for experienced at-home mechanics. Typically, it involves propping the hood open and unplugging any electrical system components that are anchored to the fog light. Once unplugged, unscrew and detach your old Fog Lights by unwinding them counterclockwise. Next, screw the replacement Fog Lights right back in place, and restore all the electrical connections to their original ballast. Tighten the new Fog Lights back into the fog light assembly.

While it seems straightforward, remember to check your owner's manual, shut the engine off completely, and allow the engine to cool down before doing anything under-the-hood. Replacing Nissan Fog Lights is meant to help you see more clearly on the road, but make sure you play it safe in the driveway, first!
