Are There Any Good Aftermarket Fog Lights That Can Be Plugged Into The Harness Without Alterations?

I'm sure there are. Have you looked into the Nissan (see sponsors) fog lights, they are plug and play and come with stalk mounted switch and is realy simple to install. Just a thought. ;)
Cheers.

I actually bought some aftermarket lights for the armada for the dealership is kinda pricey. If i dont want to drill thru my firewall and use the existing plugs by the holes, all I would need is just the switch right??

Maybe. The switch is in the stalk. It is probably wired. You'd want a new stalk. Plug and play. ;)

If you want aftermarket just run them through the firewall on the passenger side and mount the switch somewhee inconspicuos. That's what i did. Ill probably get the factory switch though and splice them into it later....

You can't use the factory stalk switch directly. The factory switch is connected to a matrix that connects to the BCM. It is a low voltage, low power circuit and can't carry the load of of the lights directly. The logic programmed into the BCM allows the fog lights to power on only when the switch on the stalk is on and the headlights are on low beam.

You can spend a lot of time, but time is money. I got this kit and, like I said earlier, it took about 15 actuall minutes to install.

I'd like to keep my fogs, just change the bulbs from stock white to a yellow...i did get bulbs a few months back, but they did not fit as the neck of the bulb was an "L" shape and did not fit...any suggestions of a yellow bulb that'll fit in the stock fog housing?? any online dealer or part number would be helpful
