Re: Rear Fog Light DIY Installation (Methods 1 & 2 and 3)
Harish,
The DIY Guides may have mentioned the use of a stand-alone switch, but it would have been the standard toggle switch without an LED. The RFL I sold you came with a push in type switch that has an LED in it to indicate the RFL is in use, all 3 wires need to be connected.
I haven't tested this switch myself, but since the black wire is the one left un-used, try grounding it and see if that will trigger the LED to light-up when the RFL is on.
P.S. I just checked the packaging and this black wire is marked as "ground", so earth it to a metal surface under the steering column.

Re: Rear Fog Light DIY Installation (Methods 1 & 2 and 3)
I have just fitted my Rear Fog Light and noticed the plug behind the bumper bar needs the lug removed. I found it on the wrong side. A pair of side cutters and it fits.
I put the supplied relay in the rear fog position in the relay box.
I then joined the top two wires in the white plug on the control stalk and everything works.
Thanks Jalal. :-)

No worries Kym,
Sorry, I forgot to tell you about the plug and that it just needs to have one of the lugs trimmed a bit to slide in place with the factory harness in the bumper.

Re:
Hi Darren,
Yes, the cheaper alternative is that I have a stack of these relays from the wreckers LOL 
By the way, am selling the genuine Nissan rear fog light I have taken off my exy (selling the car) and I can give you a free Nissan relay with it if you want. Check the "for sale" section for details.

Re: Rear Fog Light DIY Installation (Methods 1 & 2 and 3)
Though there is no rear fog installed we have almost everything we need to install it easily.
- there is a relay base in the relay box in the engine bay
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- there is a space for a dedicated 10A fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- there is wiring for it in the rear bumper
- there is wiring for it in the control stalk
- there is wiring for it to the combination dash guages (Black #61 -ve in white connector and White/Purple #20 +12V in side brown connector)
- there is an indicator space for it in the combination dash guages (far left between Cruise/Set and 4WD)
So what do we need to do to get everything working ?
- follow the steps in Method 3
- add a relay to the existing socket
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- add a 10A fuse to position 36 in the engine bay fuse box
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- tap into the existing wires (Grey/Blue stripe) and (Blue/Yellow stripe) for the switch

That's all you need to have it working.
If you would also like to have the indicator lamp in the dash working with it then wire an indicator LED according to the following pictures
- take the combination guages out of the dash and unclip top and bottom tabs for the front plastic lens
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content-- ]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- remove the indicator strip from the front of the guages
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- undo the screws for the back cover of the combination guages
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- solder a -ve wire to pin #61 of the side brown connector
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- solder a +ve wire to pin #20 of the side white connector
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- connect an LED with resistor for 12V mounted into a hole drilled under indicator position in combination guages
]--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--
- put it all back together in reverse order and you now have the rear fog indicator lit up with the switch

And if anyone is interested, here is a pic of my super-bright LEDs mounted in the rear bumper panel (with my impending rear camera).
