IMO stay as close to OEM as possible in terms of looks

+1 With how square these cars are anything not square would look silly. Unless you did something like Wiking did, getting a BMW type look

I think I got 1.5-2"x5" aftermarket from walmart, On the package it said Back-Up lights. But I still installed them in the front. I think they look good and looks like they are oem. Cost me about $50.

I'll try and get a pic later to show you if I remember. I don't have the stillen bodykit but should give you a good example.

Pick up some OEM GXE foglights. They are the same ones as used on the first generation Xterras.

IMO the stock fogs are too big and goofy. I've seen a Max with the thinner rectangular ones and they looked good. I have small circular ones. They look alright. I had them laying around so I installed them. Someday I''ll change them, but at least the wiring is done so all I have to do is swap them out.

I had the wallyworld fogs too- good while they lasted. A raccoon took their life short though.

Picked these up at Advance last week and are waiting to go on- not bad quality at all actually. $15 after employee discount

they look just like mine, it's the exact same fog light, just has a yellowish tint to the bulbs.

I bought a set of Fog lights From Wal-Mart for my GXE. Well Actually they called driving lights, so instead of the yellow beam, they have a white beam. They are rectangular in shape, and they look really good on the car. They really help out on those dark roads at night!! By the Way Your car looks great!!
