Hey you guys I have been looking for jdm yellow fog lights for my 3geez and its so hard to come across the jdm fogs, is there a knock off pair of fogs that fit in that retangular hole on my bumper??? i just really want a clean look that is why I don't buy the autozone ones!!!

I know the BOSCH Scout will fit like a champ in there.
The OEM 87-95 Nissan Pathfinder foglights are actually BOSCH Scouts so they are widely available from any junkyard.

They look like this:

They are very similar to the 88-89 JDM fog lights. I had them installed on my car about 10 years ago

They could be installed recessed further into the bumper to look exactly like the true JDM fogs.

They're available in white or yellow. The Nissan ones are white only tough. I'm not 100% sure you can still get them in yellow since they used cadmium glass which is now kinda banned.

You can always tint them with POR-15 stuff just like this!

The JDM fogs are 7"X2¼"
The BOSCH are 6"X2¼"

So, they're the same height but just 1 inch shorter. When centered, there's a ½" difference on each side between the true JDM and the BOSCH Scout.

Here's a PDF that might be handy
