2022+ LED pod fog lighting to replace oem

So as I was thinking of a few ideas as how to get two 2 emitter pods into the fog light location to replace the factory light. Looking at how the bracket for the oem light is made/mounted. Couldn’t one simply buy small L brackets similar to these and screw them in place facing either with the tab further back or forward depending on the fitment and you could adjust the height of where they sit. These would give you a good amount of adjustment and I think they would work pretty well. I am not sure if my words paint a good picture I’m not Picasso over here haha. The small two emitter pods are super lightweight and I don’t see it being a problem attaching them that way. Can secure it with a washer and lock washer deal and I don’t really see them moving once you get them set in place. The power draw shouldn’t be too much different than the factory fogs you can make yourself a splitter connector to go from the factory female end to whatever connectors you want to use for the lights. I did something similar with my ram using factory fog controls/wires and never had a single issue.

I don’t understand why people are like that. Everyone should be trying to help each other out in the car community, people like that suck.

Measure the fog light opening and then pick a light that will fit it. You might get lucky and the new light mounts will fit. If they don't, then you'll have to make a mount for them. Your truck is already prewired for fog lights, so the wiring will be easy. Cut off the stock plug and splice it into the new lights. If you don't want to cut off the stock plug, then buy the Nissan plug that goes into it and install it to the new lights. If you're mechanically inclined, it's not that hard. I added lights to my Xterra (back in the day) and Honda PIoneer 500. Neither came prewired and I had to install a wire harness.

You might want to check with Diode Dynamics as they might have a solution for you? They seem to be very informative on oem fog light replacements. Just a thought

No, I emailed Diode Dynamics and their spoke person @Diode Dynamics Steve E straight up said "no immediate plans to release this product for that vehicle." Someone in Facebook forum did make it using regular brackets but he wont say how. He showed the picture also. He used SSC2 (2x) in each fog light housing.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say he used a small L bracket on each of the mounting points on the top of the and then just attached the small lights to that. I’ll probably just send it and try it at some point, it sucks that not all the companies make a decent sae beam light for the fogs.
