^^^^yea thanks again. As you can see I've been on here for 4 yrs and currently have 92 posts. Sooooo, I think I know how to use the fancy search button. Not quite the post whore like some people. If I didn't think people could use it(and as you can see they do appreciate the write up) then I wouldn't post it.
Thanks |

hmmm, u know i got kouki fog lights
they look like that it already has some brackets, but when i looked under my car today i saw the bolts you were talking about. but, none of the brackets i had worked. and i bought these from another guy with a s14 kouki like me too =(. so, i probably need another bracket or something huh? thanks for your help =D |

yea those are kouki foglights with brackets which would not fit a zenki front. this is a write up for a 95-96 zenki. I dont quite understand what you're saying. what year is your car? if you have a 95-96 with the the kouki front end then you will have to make your own brackets.

oh, i got a 97 kouki as well. but i saw that you needed bracket for yours. so i was wondering if i need a bracket on top like yours. cuz i looked around and there are no holes for the brackets i currently have to bolt into.
so, that's where i derived my conclusion that i may need an additional bracket also. or maybe i'm just not looking hard enough. |

When I've seen the kouki foglights sold w/ brackets they come like the pic shown. So I would assume you have the right brackets. Maybe your foglights fasten to the actual bumper. Is that a possibility????

The Kouki foglights bolt to the bumper cover, not the reinforcement. Put them in from behind where they belong and you'll see where they line up.

I have a 96 nissan 240sx with a 97-98 JDM front end conversion. So I understand that the fog lights line up behind the front cover of the bumper. I'm guessing i will need a relay as well but no brackets as the JDM fogs come prebracketed?

that is kinda odd, the base models will have the harness for the fogs and the fog light stalk in the steering column..sometimes it's a little difficult to find when they are and tucked away from the factory.
for anyone doing the fogs on a base model kouki, you will need 2 relays: one (black i think?) in the fuse box under the hood and one blue one near the fusebox in the driver's side kick panel. **and I have fogs with a FMIC, it's really close but it will fit |
