Mrelcocko Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Bought some L.E.D fog lights since how the factory fogs were inop and trashed and installed them. I used factory connectors and wired them to my new fogs so I could just plugem in to the factory wiring.

Remus92 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 What size lights did you go for? I have been thinking about doing the exact same thing because my fogs rarely work and when they do... Well they don't Put out anything i could consider light! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they don't Put out anything i could consider light!I don't know exactly what size they are but I can tell you this this is the second set I bought the first set I put them on my other Pathfinder I got them from Walmart. I've bought lots LEDs online and then get them they work for a few weeks and then they stop working. The first ones I bought from Walmart that I put on my black Pathfinder they've been on there for 2 years and they still work perfect. That's why I went with those again for this Pathfinder. Just go to Walmart go back to automotive and you will be able to find these lights there around $22 they come with everything you need. I would also cut the connectors off your factory fog lights and wire them into your new fog lights. When you install you can just plug and play like I did.

Remus92 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I thought about doing that with the connectors but i need to check my wiring before i try that. These things work so intermittently it has to be something in the wiring. But i definitely want to change those out for led pods 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Clean install! I've had mixed luck with cheap LEDs. I think some of the sellers have no idea what IP67 means, but they know it moves product. I've got cheapos from ebay (Voltage brand) on a lawn tractor and as bed lights on a pickup and they've held up great so far, but the Kawells I used as reverse lights on my Pathy had no seals at all and let water in pretty quickly. Luckily they survived my less-than-delicate disassembly, drying, and resealing efforts, and the bumper hides the mess I made with the silicone. Good to know the Malwart ones are decent. How's the light output on those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrelcocko Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Decided to keep my grill lights off my 98 pathy which I sold to help with the overall appearance. I think it adds a little flavor. I also kept my wheels and tires. This project is almost complete. Sent from my SM-S737TL using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrelcocko Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Finally wired my grill lights up. Put a factory Nissan relay in and a fog switch from a Suzuki Aero or whatever you call them. Had a bracket laying around for the relay to hang. Easy cheesy. Getting closer by the minute. #96fixerupper Sent from my SM-S737TL using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rboat88h Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Mrelcocko, Hey nice job on the fixing up, If you want another one to fix up, I will sell you my 97 SE 4x4. It is in great shape and needs very little. It only has 70,000 orginal miles and has been a southern truck its whole life. Looking to get about $2500 out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrelcocko Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Finally getting to the rust spots on my 96 Pathy. Never done body work before, so read literature and watched YouTube videos not looking to bad. Mr Cox R50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrelcocko Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hole? What hole? Cut and weld or fiberglass? I used a Bondo brand wire mesh patch. Comes 2 per package. Mr Cox R50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrelcocko Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Added a light under the hood. Surprised Nissan didn't put one in from the factory go figure. To me it looks like the hole in the hood from the factory is for a light. That's what I used it for anyway. Really easy upgrade. Also added clock. #96fixeruppercontinuesMr Cox 96R50-97JR50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The underhood light's one of the most useful mods I've done to my truck. Really nice to have when you're working under the hood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrelcocko Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Just some before and afters with year 1 in the books. I'm really pleased with the way the drivers side rear quarter turned out since never having done body work before looks fairly good for my first time. New tires, timing belt, water pump, tailights, radio, speedometer, fuel & temp gauges, rear shocks, clutch fan, harmonic balancer, coolant reservoir, hood and front facia,fuel filter, plugs, wires, distributor, LED fogs replacing factory ones and installed new LED'S in the grill. Added woodgrain radio bezel plus installed digital clock/security light. Put LED'S in gauges and all switches. Still not done with her, but the first year was a blast from purchasing for $500 to the wife rear ending someone till now Thanks NPORA and all of you for putting up with the guy who doesn't go 4 wheelin and has the cleanest R50's in the group. I'm OCD and can't help it. You guys are my forum family #my96R50Pathy #96fixerupperMr Cox 96R50-97JR50 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
