I just put mine on last night. Fogs were from eBay (which came with a nice on/off switch and full set of wires that I will use for additional lights later on) for $75/shipped, switch was from thenismoshop.com for about $80/shipped.





I also had a hard time getting the push-fastener in the hole, but with enough swearing I was able to get it in without drilling the holes in the fog-light-mount larger. About 30 minutes and it was done.

They seem to be fine and not need adjusting, but I only went for a short ride a dusk.

Looks good.

I had the same problem with the new lights. Resized them just a bit and it went right in.
The alignments was perfect.

Resizing them would have made it easier. Laziness of getting the drill out is what prevented me from doing it that way, ha.

Nice work hyunelan2! IMO besides their functionality, they even enhance the looks of your Equator. With the better lighting you get on low beam, I drive with mine on all the time. SuperEQ how are you liking yours? How about some pics of them?

Default I like them

I like them a lot. Other than them being a bigger pain to put in then the 08 frontier lights they were easy to install. The alignment was perfect.
Here is a pic. It looks like a ran over two cats but they are fine. (front and look at the back tire)

Thanks SuperEQ. I now remember seeing the pic in your other post. Didn't see the second cat until now.

Default Fog light blues

Was wondering what fog light kit you bought from ebay, I also bought a kit from ebay (Blinglights kit with Halo ring) took it to a truck shop to install. They tried to mount them from the side of the truck were there isnt anything really to mount them to I have to take it back because I dont know if they tried mounting it from top or not. Long story short they want me to try and order the mounting bracket from Nissan which is like $273 for the whole fog light kit.

Welcome to the group DragonEquator.

I couldn't find any current listings from the eBay seller where I bought mine. This is one link that is offering the right set-up, for about the price I paid. There are many others besides this one, but look closely, some are yellow, blue, or smoke lens, and some have the high output or high intensity bulbs.

05 06 07 Nissan Frontier Truck Fog Lights Lamp Pair New: eBay Motors (item 110568801275 end time Aug-06-10 09:30:34 PDT)

The Frontier painted bumper lights are what the Equator uses and are different than those for the Frontier with a chrome bumper. The mounting housings are totally different. The above kit is lights only, no switch included, which you will need to get from Nissan if you use the wiring harness that comes factory installed in your Equator.

Some others on the forum have more recently installed fog lights, that might have more current eBay info.

Hope this helps. Let us know how works out.

Ebay has a few sets on there. I bought mine from Rambowtech. I searched for Frontier and found them.
Mine were for an 09 but worked on the 2010. I ordered the switch from Courtesy Nissan.

This is the set I bought:
05 06 07 08 NISSAN FRONTIER OEM FOG LIGHTS+SWITCH L+R: eBay Motors (item 140436076026 end time Aug-10-10 20:55:06 PDT)

It comes with a switch and wiring - if you want to use all that you can. I did not, I will save it and use it for off-road lights in the future.

The OEM stalk switch is available from any Nissan dealer. I purchased mine online here:
The Nismo Shop : West Covina Nissan : 07-2010 Light stalk / turn signal switch
