Let me know if you did go and purchase them ken, I'm interested myself. Please share your experience if you've gone that route. I just bought an 08 2.5 SL this past Saturday. How do you like yours???

I have not purchased the fog lights as yet because of the cost. I did however, find a deal on ebay for $100.00 but this was for the lights only, no wiring harness, no switches and no directions. I would have had to bring it to some kind of detail shop for the work as I am kind of auto dumb. The lights were Nissan lights that were supposed to fit the hole with no problem. I also had to wonder about warranty details. I don't know how stinky they can get. That's all I got and i hope it helps you a little.
I have only put about 1100 miles on the car only because of the HS weather. As far as I am concerned, the car drives better than any other we have owned. It has plenty of power, the CVT works great, it has enough bells and whistles to satisfy me and I would buy another in a heart beat. In fact, I might go for the Coup or Maxima, but that is a long way down the road. I fully anticipate this vehicle to treat us well and I really anticipate driving the hell out of it when the weather gets better.

I think we may have seen the same deal on ebay. Tomorrow after work I'm going to see if I can get to the dealership and find out how much it would be to purchase them and install them, parts labor, whole nine. I'm in Georgia, Metro Atlanta area. I'm sure there will be a variance in price between us but it should not be extreme. I don't know enough to install it myself and they always make it seem easy. I'm enjoying mine as well even though it's only been a couple of days. I'll keep you posted and let you know what I find. Hope the weather gets better so you can drive it til the wheels fall off, I plan on doing the same!

The price on the fog lights alone from the dealer in this area (St.Paul) is $310.00 but I don't think that includes installation and I can easily see $400.00 - $450.00 for this job which to me, for a show item, is not worth it. I had fog lights on the F-150 I traded and used them once but did not like the effect. To much scatter which made seing anything ahead more difficult.
Please keep me aware of the charges you incur for this job if you have it done. We had -14 degrees this morning and that really puts a crimp in driving around, enjoying yourself. Four or five more weeks of the hs weather and things will start looking up. You have all the good weather, so enjoy your ride as much as possible.

I just went to the dealership......looks like I'll be doing without the fog lights too. He just had a person get there's installed on an '07. Cost was $574!!!!! I may be crazy but I'm not stupid! As long as my headlights work that's enough. If those burn out, I'll get flashlights! They are crazy to charge that much, I don't care if they have to literally take the car apart! I asked about bringing in a set and they won't do it, may void the warranty and they'll have no part of that either.
Keep your head up, warm weather will be on the way up there too. I've been in that part of the country, brutal! Stay warm, my friend, stay warm!

Thank you for the heads up and the kind regards. I did not think in my wildest dreams that installed fog lights would cost that much. I guess Nissan can put them where the sun don't shine, maybe that will light up there perspective.
Yep, we got warm weather on the way. Might even get above freezing. Whoo hoo

When we bought our '07 2.5 SL a year ago, we wanted factory-installed fog lights, or no deal. We settled on one that had everything we wanted; except no fog lights. But they would install them just like the factory. It was a long drawn out ordeal but they finally got them in and working perfect after over 2 months. There supposedly was a "kit" that was in the works that we had to wait on. Anyway, the reason they are so expensive is that they have to replace the entire wiring harness and the turn signal stalk for the switch. This was the first kit the dealer had to deal with and it probably cost him a tidy sum. The one thing about them, though, is there is no dash indication they are on, like most other cars. If anyone wants factory fog lights on their Altima, put it in the deal before laying down the cash!

I just gave up on them. I had traded a 2002 F-150 for the Altima and that truck had fog lights which I used maybe three times in five years. Spending more than a couple hundred bucks on something I do not find useful is out of the question. Maybe that comes with finally growing up at 60.

What is the best CAI system for an '07 3.5 SE?

There are ZERO CAI's available....only SRI's and they all add about the same HP and sound the same. Best bet is to go with Fujita.
