That doesnt apply to base models(since they aren't pre-wired for fogs), does it?Here's the good news. You can have after market fogs with the OEM stalk with fog switch. When you take the stalk apart, you will see that there are 2 wires coming from the fog switch. You could easily tap the aftermarket wires into the 2 wires, and use it to turn on your after market fogs, while maintaining OEM looks. I personally had OEM fogs, and loved them. But it's all up to you....
Im not sure what you mean? Cause you have a base model, so no, you can't have OEM fogs. If you install a set of after market, you can use the OEM stalk, instead of the switch that comes with the after market kit. There are two wires in the stalk. When you connect the after market wires to those wires, you can use the stalk instead of the switch that comes with your kit. But you need the OEM stalk with fog. Regardless if it is OEM or after market, the OEM stalk with fog can be used. Hope this helps.That doesnt apply to base models(since they aren't pre-wired for fogs), does it?
It does help, thanks. Would it be hard to connect the aftermarket wires to the wires in the stalk? I have Wal-Mart fogs by the way.Im not sure what you mean?

Very helpful info, I'll look into it, thanks man. :thumb2:I shouldn't be. It's just two wires. It's a 50/50 chance. Doesn't work, flip the wires,Just tap into them, and route the wiring out of the stalk.
There is also a YouTube video on installing OEM foglamps to an S model.I can guide you through the installation for a 2007 Versa SL sedan.
If you have S with power package, then you are also prewired. I did this on my 09 S sedan with power package. Everything is there just like the SL. No power package = No fog light wiring.In the good ol'days, the fog light switch which came with the light stalk effectively used to have a seperate turn on wire solely for foglight control. But on the Versa, 2007 & up, this is not the case anymore: the foglight signal comes in a multiple input/ multiple output (called MIMO) which is then deciphered by the BCM (Body control module), then the BCM send a signal to the IPDM (Intelligent power distribution module) via the CAN line that tells "ok activate the foglight relay" to lit the foglights... From what I've found, only the SL model has the possibility of adding the factory foglight and controls (because of those computer things). So if you have an S model, the solution I would suggest is to go with OEM foglights, but with a dedicated wiring+fuse and a standalone switch.
This thing really sucks to read because I'm getting ready to install my OEM fog lights this weekend. im always keeping my budget 3k for the lighting. Guess the HID is more of a foglights and might be considered a lifetime investment to me. On the other hand, it's easy to upgrade parts with the help of DIY kits out there.In the good ol'days, the fog light switch which came with the light stalk effectively used to have a seperate turn on wire solely for fog light control.
