Fog lights (PTF) for Nissan Juke: how to choose, install and upgrade

Nissan Juke - a compact crossover with a bright design that requires equally stylish and functional accessories. Fog lights (or “fogs”) for this model not only improve visibility in difficult weather conditions, but also become part of the tuning, emphasizing the aggressive nature of the car. However, the selection and installation of PTF on Juke have nuances: from compatibility with electronics to legal requirements.

In this article we will look at everything you need to know about fog lights for Nissan Juke (including restyled versions F15 And J10): from original articles to non-standard solutions, connection diagrams and typical installation errors. And also - how to avoid problems with the traffic police and extend the life of your headlights.

Original fog lights for Nissan Juke: part numbers and features

Factory fog lights for Juke supplied in complete sets Tekna And Acenta Premium, but they can be purchased separately. Original PTF from Nissan have articles:

• 🔦 Left headlight: 26510-JM00A (for models up to 2014) or 26510-JM01A (restyling)
• 🔦 Right headlight: 26520-JM00A / 26520-JM01A
• 💡 Lamp: 26535-4M000 (halogen H11, 55W)

Original fog lights are distinguished by high-quality plastic, protection from moisture (IP67) and precise fit to the bumper. However, their price often exceeds 10,000 rubles per set, which forces owners to look for alternatives. Key point: original PTFs have UNECE certificate, which eliminates problems when passing technical inspection.

If you choose an original, pay attention to the year of manufacture of the car. Fogs for Juke 2010–2013 gg. not compatible with restyled models 2014–2019 gg. due to the modified shape of the bumper. Also, the original headlights use a connector Nissan 90980-02016, which may not fit universal kits.

Analogs and non-original fogs: what to choose instead of the original?

The market offers dozens of alternatives to original fog lights for Juke, but not all of them are equally good. Main analogue brands:

• 🔧 DEPO (335-1901L/R) - a budget option with acceptable plastic quality, but poor sealing.
• 🔧 Hella (8GA 008 141-001) - premium fogs with improved light transmission, but require modification of the mounts.
• 🔧 TYC (20-7126-00) - middle segment, often comes with lamps H8 instead of H11.
• 🔧 Morimoto — LED fog lights for tuning, but require an additional control unit.

When choosing analogues, pay attention to:

1. Certification: presence of sign E (For example, E1 72241) required for legal use.
2. Lamp type: suitable for most analogues H11 or H8, but there are models for LED or xenon (the latter requires the installation of a corrector).
3. Complete set: Cheap kits often lack wires, relays or a power button.

Important: fog lights without an EEC certificate are automatically considered a malfunction during technical inspection (clause 3.6 of the List of Malfunctions of the Russian Traffic Regulations). Even if they fit perfectly into the bumper, the inspector has the right to issue an order for elimination.

How to check the certificate of fog lights?

The housing of the original or certified headlamp must be stamped with a circle with the letter "E" and numbers (for example, E1 72241). These figures can be checked in the UNECE database on the website [unece.org](https://unece.org).

Connection diagrams for fog lights on Nissan Juke: step-by-step instructions

Connecting fogs to Juke depends on the configuration:

• 🔌 In versions Tekna There is already standard wiring and a button on the panel - all that remains is to install the headlights and connect the connectors.
• 🔌 In basic configurations (Visia, Acenta) you will have to lay the wires yourself.

To connect yourself you will need:

• 📌 Relay 12V 30A (For example, Bosch 0 332 019 150)
• 📌 Fuse 15A
• 📌 Wire cross-section 1.5 mm² (preferably stranded)
• 📌 Power button (you can use the standard one) Nissan 25560-JM00A)
• 📌 Heat shrink tubing or electrical tape

Standard connection diagram:

[Аккумулятор +12V] → [Предохранитель 15A] → [Реле (контакт 30)]
[Реле (контакт 85)] → [Масса]
[Реле (контакт 86)] → [Кнопка] → [Габариты (+12V при включении)]
[Реле (контакт 87)] → [Туманки (через предохранитель)]

Connection to the dimensions is necessary so that the fog lights automatically turn off when the ignition is turned off (requirement of GOST R 51709-2001). If you connect directly to the battery, you risk draining the battery overnight.

Check the voltage at the button contacts (should be 12V with the lights on)|

Use only copper wires with a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm²|

Insulate all twists with heat shrink or soldering iron|

Make sure the relay is securely fastened (vibration can cause a short circuit)|

Lay the wires in the corrugation along the standard wiring -->

Installing fog lights on a Nissan Juke: step-by-step process with photos

Installation of fog lights on Juke Requires removal of the front bumper. For this you will need:

• 🔧 Socket wrench T20 And T25
• 🔧 Phillips screwdriver
• 🔧 Plastic spatulas for removing clips
• 🔧 Jack or inspection hole

Procedure:

1. Removing the bumper:
   • Unscrew the 4 bolts under the wings (T25).
   • Remove the 6 clips at the bottom of the bumper (2 in the center and 4 on the sides).
   • Disconnect the PTF connectors (if installed previously) and the parking sensor (if equipped).
2. Installing headlights:
   • Insert the fog lights into the standard bumper holes and secure with bolts (M6).
   • Connect the connectors, making sure the seals are tight.
3. Wiring:
   • Route the wires along the left fender to the mounting block (behind the instrument panel).
   • Connect the relay and fuse according to the diagram.

⚠️ Attention: When installing LED fog lights, check for diffuser. Without it, the light beam will blind oncoming drivers, which is equivalent to a violation of clause 19.5 of the traffic rules (“Use of external lighting devices whose operating mode does not meet the requirements”).

After installation, be sure to adjust the angle of the fogs. To do this:

1. Place the car on a flat area 5 meters from the wall.
2. Measure the height of the centers of the headlights from the ground and mark it on the wall.
3. Turn on the fogs and adjust the screws so that the upper limit of the light spot is 5–10 cm below the mark.

Tuning fog lights on Nissan Juke: LED, xenon and stylish solutions

Standard halogen fogs H11 can be replaced with more modern and bright options:

• 💡 LED lamps (For example, Philips X-tremeUltinon or Osram LEDriving FOG) - produce white light (5000–6000K), but require anti-glare diffusers.
• 💡 Xenon (Morimoto Mini H11) - brightness up to 3000 lumens, but you need to install ignition units and a corrector (otherwise you will not pass inspection).
• 💡 Yellow lamps (PIAA Plasma Yellow) - improve visibility in fog, but reduce road illumination.

For radical tuning, owners Juke set:

• 🔥 Angel eyes (LED rings around the fog lamps) - require modification of the headlight housing.
• 🔥 Д 霍光 (Demon Eyes) — red or blue LEDs inside the housing (prohibited in Russia!).
• 🔥 Projection modules - replace the standard reflector with a lens (for example, from Morimoto Mini D2S).

⚠️ Attention: Installing xenon in fog lights without washer and auto-corrector is equivalent to a violation of Art. 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (“Driving a vehicle with faulty lighting devices”) and is punishable by a fine of 500 rubles. Repeated violation results in deprivation of rights for 6–12 months.

If you want to stay legal, choose certified LED lamps with markings E and the temperature is not higher 4300K. For example, Philips LED Fog (12972BWX2) have official approval for use in PTF.

Typical problems with fog lights on Nissan Juke and their solutions

Even the original fogs on Juke they fail over time. Let's look at the most common faults and how to fix them:

Problem	Possible reason	Solution
Fogs don't turn on	The fuse has blown (F37 at 15A) Relay contacts have oxidized Ground wire break	Check the fuse in the mounting block (under the steering wheel) Move the relay (sometimes it helps) Clean the mass on the body (usually under the bumper)
Flashing or fully lit	Poor contact in the lamp connector Base oxidation H11 Control unit malfunction (for LED)	Clean the contacts with WD-40 Replace the lamp (even if visually intact) Check the voltage at the connector (should be 12V)
Water inside the headlight	Crack in the body Wear of the sealing rubber Drain hole clogged	Dry the headlight with a hairdryer (temperature no higher than 60°C) Seal cracks with silicone Blow out the drain hole with compressed air
Error B2601 on the panel	Incompatible LED lamps installed	Install load resistors or office lamps

If the fog lights stop working after washing, most likely water got into the connector. In this case:

1. Remove the headlight and dry the connector.
2. Process contacts contact lubricant (For example, Liqui Moly Electronic-Spray).
3. Check the integrity of the O-ring on the lamp.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about fog lights on Nissan Juke

Is it possible to install fog lights on a Nissan Juke Visia if it did not come with them from the factory?

Yes, but you will need:

1. Buy a set of fog lights with wiring (for example, DEPO 335-1901L/R).
2. Lay the wires from the mounting block to the bumper (see diagram above).
3. Install the power button (can be inserted into a free slot on the panel).
4. Adjust the light beam.

The cost of service work is from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles.

Which bulbs are better for fog lights on the Juke: halogen, LED or xenon?

Depends on goals:

• 🔦 Halogen (H11) - cheap, legal, but dim (1,200 lumens).
• 🔦 LED — bright (up to 3,000 lumens), but certified models are needed (for example, Osram LEDriving FOG).
• 🔦 Xenon — maximum brightness (up to 3,200 lumens), but requires washer and corrector.

For the city and legal use, the best option is: certified LEDs with a temperature of 4,300K.

Why does an error light up on the panel after installing LED fog lights?

Error B2601 (or B2602) arises due to:

• The resistance of the LED lamps is too low (the standard system expects a halogen load).
• Lack of load resistors (resistors are needed 6 Ohm 50W).
• Incompatibilities with the CAN bus (solved by firmware of the unit BCM).

The simplest solution is to install stationery lamps (false) or resistors in parallel with the LED.

How to remove the bumper on a Nissan Juke to install fog lights?

Procedure:

1. Unscrew the 2 bolts under the wings (T25).
2. Remove the 6 clips at the bottom of the bumper (careful, they are fragile!).
3. Disconnect the parking sensor connectors (if equipped).
4. Pull the bumper forward and up - it will be removed from the latches.

Is it possible to drive with the fogs on during the day?

No, this is a violation of clause 19.4 of the traffic rules. Fogs are allowed to be used:

• In conditions insufficient visibility (less than 300 meters in fog, rain, snowfall).
• On unlit sections of roads together with the low beam.

An exception is if the fogs are used as DRL (daytime running lights), but for this they must comply with GOST R 41.48-2004 (brightness 400–800 candelas).
