Tools will be needed:

1)35w HID SLIM ballasts and H8 hid bulbs (can be any color of your choice from 3000k

and up) .

I used 6000k in this guide. Make sure you buy slim ballasts, or it will be hard to mount

them without removing the bumper.

In my case HIDs were bought from DDM tuning.

2)Two Male Connectors for H8 (in order to connect HID ballasts to stock wiring without

cutting anything, to make it plug-n-play) . Will let you to simply push two of your HID

wires to this connector and make it direct plug in. (Look above for the picture)

Connect H8 male

connectors here

They look like this for example :

3) Panel, Trim and Molding Removal Set . I used it to remove side moldings without

scratching or damaging anything. Works way better than screwdriver

4) Short screw driver (you need short one, as tire will be in your way and some screws

right on top of it, and not so much space for long screw driver). Also will help you

unscrew the fog light screw in the passenger side, as it will be next to the wash fluid

reservoir and it is very limited space out there.

Like this one:

5) 3/8 drive . 10mm socket drive to remove 10mm bolts. You will need to remove total 6

bolts in the whole process : 3 from each side.

6) Cable zip ties. You will need many of them and long ones to secure HID ballasts in

place. You can screw the hid into the place, but it is very hard to do without removing the

bumper. Zip ties wont melt (buy long and fat ones),so no worries about it.

------------ GET READY-------TIME TO START WORKING ON YOUR

FX35/50 2009+ ---------------

Step 1:

Put car on a flat surface, so it wont roll by any chance.

Start working on the drivers side first.

Turn the wheel all the way out, like you are turning left very sharply.

Unscrew them

Step 2:

Find all the screws holding the wheel molding (like two above, the ones you have

removed in previous step)

Step 3:

Remove screws holding your mud flap and holding the wheel molding .Total should be 6

screws(including 2 you have removed in first picture) and one 10mm bolt on the bottom

holding the mud flap.

Unscrew them

On the bottom of mud flap you will see 10mm bolt, remove it with 10mm drive socket.

After that remove the mud flap

You should have end up so far with 6 screws and one 10mm bolt and mud flap removed.

Step 4:

Start removing molding. Do very slowly as there are about 8 or so clips holding the

molding. Dont break them. Take your time and do slowly, one by one. Use your trim

tools ,so not to scratch the car paint or molding.

Step 5:

Check that your car looks like that. Molding is removed. No mud flap. No clips are

broken. If you broke clips, order some from Nissan/Infiniti dealer, or molding will be

loose

Step 6:

Remove two 10mm bolts from the bottom of the drivers side bumper.

Remove them

Step 7:

With your trim tools, slide a little the bumper and push out the splash shield

Step 8:

As you can see there is a lot of room there and you can even put your hands inside. Pull

the splash shield to give you access, but dont break it. Well dont be scred either,it wont

break easily You will find a fog light there. It will be hold by one 8mm bolt ,or you

can unscrew it with screw driver. Remove the bolt and push the fog lights out.

Step9:

Install the bulb to the fog lights. Make sure bulb is straight and not looking to the side.

Before plugging it in, make sure you add H8 male connector to do a true plug-n-play.

Step 10 :

Try to turn it on,see if it works,before proceeding with next steps

Step 11:

Mount the ballast into the shelf inside the splash shield, on the top with zip ties. Make

sure it wont move. Tie it up good

Step 12:

Connect all the wires and zip tie them as well, so no wires hitting or flying around.

Step 13:

Bolt the fog light bolt back in. And makes sure all it tight and not moving. Then turn on

the fog lights to make sure it works, before you proceed with putting all back together.

Step 14: Put splash shield into its place and put molding back in in reverse order.

Step 15: Turn the wheel other way sharply, as we will be working on the passenger side.

Step 16: Do exactly same steps with removing the mud flap and molding and splash

shield, as you have done on the drivers side.

Stock HALO fog 6000k HID fog

Step 17:

You will be surprised. Passenger side has washer fluid ,and not so easy to get access to

the bolt on the fog light. Find fog light with your hand, it will take some time, and

unscrew bolt with short screw driver. Long screw driver font fit. Be patient as it will take

time to remove the fog light on that side.

Step 18:

You will be mounting ballast on the same shelf as the drivers side

Step 19:

Install HID bulb same way as before.

Make sure to put bulb

correct so that its

additional piece be on

the bottom and be

straight and not on the

left or right side.

Step 20 :

Connect all the wiring. Check that it works and only then put molding and splash shield

back together in reverse order.

Step 21:

Start up the car, take pictures and enjoy the new look

Step 22: Very important step
