Your Nissan's fog lights help you navigate difficult road conditions by lighting the path directly in front of you. If either light malfunctions, it may compromise your ability to see what's up ahead.
In contrast to headlights, fog lights are designed to slice through rather than mirroring difficult weather conditions like haze, mist, and rain. Due to their unique design, Nissan fog lights offer a wider but shorter projection range than your typical headlights, which explains why they are best used as a supplement rather than a replacement to headlights.
Your Nissan's Fog Light (Left, Right) could malfunction due to issues with the Electrical System, which can cause bulbs to flicker, fade, or not start at all. In contrast, the bulb itself can die with age or become damaged due to impact or a short circuit.
Generally, fog lights can last 30,000 or more hours before they need to be replaced.
However, if you use yours often or have an undiagnosed problem, the lights in your Nissan may have to be replaced more frequently. If your Fog Light (Left, Right) is acting up, or not working at all—order a genuine Nissan Fog Light (Left, Right) for optimum fitment and performance.
Replacing a Fog Light (Left, Right) is a relatively simple DIY service. Usually, the process involves popping the hood and undoing the electrical connections between the fog light and the rest of the system. Once unplugged, unscrew and detach your old Fog Light (Left, Right) by unwinding it counterclockwise. Next, screw the replacement Fog Light (Left, Right) right back in its place, and re-connect the electrical plugs into the ballast.
Though replacing your Fog Light (Left, Right) sounds easy enough, don't forget to consult the Nissan manual, shut the engine off completely, and allow the engine to cool down before performing any DIY car services. Upgrading your Nissan Fog Light (Left, Right) will support your visibility on the road, but you shouldn't let your guard down when under-the-hood!
