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
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!!
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!!
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
You do not have to remove grill or bumper...pull inner fender back and work from there..3 screws on each wheel well...Installed mine on 2017 Frontier in 30 minutes
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
I hit a deer :-( and she knocked out one of my fog lights. Can I replace the foglight by removing the fender liner and not the bumper ? Thanks for the video!
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.
