Great job man. I did this a couple months ago and instead of using the headlight stalk, I just wired it into the parking lights. Only downfall is I can't turn the fogs off at night but driving with fogs on make the car look so much better so I love it.

Hmmm, so all Maximas come w/the plug for the fog lights even if you didn't order them? I guess that makes sense from a manufacturing viewpoint.
What things could you look at that would give away someone had done this already to your Maxima?? I recently bought a Maxima and am suspicious the previous owner did this mod because those 'clips' that are supposed to be there to remove the fog lights do not exist.
