Looking at offering integrated fog/driving lights.

Factory or aftermarket lights?

The aftermarket lights are obviously much better, but many (most?) people wil already have the stock lights.

Please vote!

Will you also offer an option of no integrated lights? Will the integrated mounting method be able to accept different brands or only one?

I'd prefer just light mounting tabs rather than integrated. I'm going to buy one no matter what, but that's what I'd like.

Aftermarket would be the way to go, albeit a modular solution with universal inner mounting tabs at the cut outs would probably be the easiest most versatile solution.

Are you guys close to releasing a bumper for MY05?? I would actually prefer stock lights, save money to buy other goodies. I'm also very interested in your progress with the rear bumper and swing away tire carrier. Thanx.

Aftermarket, because no one is going back to Nissan to buy new lights after their stock ones burn out. There are too many better choices out there.

Thanks guys, looks like it will probably be aftermarket or both, if possible, but I think both is unlikely.

I'd thought more people would want stock for $$ sake. No doubt the aftermarket lights are leaps and bounds better though.

Just to clarify, I'm talking about taking the stock fogs out of the stock bumper and being able to plug them in our bumper. There would still be light holes up top for mounting large offroad lights.

My thinking originally was that after plunking down ~$700 for a bumper, people might not want spend another $200 for lights...

I'm still looking at making both work or having the whole integrated light thing be optional as well.

The stock fogs are actually quite good. They are valeo projectors.

I vote to keep the stock lights in the bumper and mount aftermarket else where. The stockers are pretty damn good for road driving.

Hmmm...the '05 lights must be light years better than the pre-'05's...the pre-'05's are all but useless.

This is still pretty rough and needs changes, but here's a peak behind the scenes at prototype #1.
