Does anyone have info on replacing the factory driving lights? Four years of Ohio winters have turned mine into rusted scrap. I searched for info but could not come up with any recent threads.The local Nissan dealer wants $90 a piece for original replacements.Thanks,Russ.

Sylvania or GE 9004's headlamps work fine. $6.88 to $18.88 at Wally World.

The factory jobs are fog lights, not driving lights...

If you never have to go through fog where you are, you can replace them w/driving lights, but, they'll be mounted too low for good long range (Driving) lighting....fog's are mounted lower, to cut under the fog better.

If you want to light up kamakaze critter eyes off the shoulder of the road, etc, aide in cornering vision at night, etc....then fogs or floods work well (Broader beam pattern).

If you want to light up signs 2 miles away, see upcoming corners, etc...then a longer range pattern would work...driving pattern like a long range headlight, or, if you want maximum range/minimum field of view (Long skinny pattern), a pencil or spot beam is better....and work best as high as possible.
