I believe the USDM foglights are yellow, so I guess it should do better than the JDM ones. But I never really considered the USDM ones cuz the JDM ones look so much nicer...

But as far as funtionality is concerned... I don't think either one really helps driving in foggy conditions. Afterall, the headlights are so freaking bright (even with the stock bulbs) when compared to a lot of other cars.

They're anything but cheap. Prepare to shell out atleast $300 for a set.

The USDM's emits pretty much the SAME color as the headlights. I would agree that the JDM's look nicer, but they both serve their purpose, light up the road!!!!

As far as function, the USDM's emits light in more of a beam pattern, since the bulb is rounded and therefore the lighting surface is more focused. JDM's on the other hand, has a bigger surface area, and IMO, looks like a 2nd set of headlights on the lower front bumper, very similar to the previous gen Maximas!!!

They won't carry them at a honda dealer U can get them from 98luder

For the switch it won't fit under the cruise control unless u buy the USDM Holder, switch, cover. 99.9% take out the dimmer switch and use that for the fogs, since no one really plays with the lights anyways

I just drilled a hole thru that USELESS tray under the 3 buttons and placed my fog light switch there!
