Extras for my '05 KC XE Titan?

jpup · 01-18-2005, 12:06 PM

I really want to add the fog light package to my '05 XE, but everything I am seeing says that it is only for a XE 4X4 model. Mine is a 4X2, will the package work with my truck?

Also, where are some good websites to check out some wheels. That is the only thing that I can't stand, the factory wheels. They look like factory wheels, that is for sure. I want something that looks "tough".

I am going to get the steps, bed cover, and a couple of others things as well. I plan to add just one thing at a time. I found some good places to get those.

Thanks for the help.

I purchased an '04 XE. I didn't like the std wheels either - I even had the faux chrome covers.... I did however like the look of the 17"ers that came with the Off-Road pkg - I purchased them from another member here. I also added a chrome grille.

I guess it comes down to personal preference when it comes to what wheels look 'tough'.

As far as the fog lights go - the XE w/out the offroad pkg does not have the bumper pre-wired for the fogs. There have been some members here that still were able to put them in - I'm even considering it. You'll have to run a line on your own to power them. I'm thinking of running a relay from the parking lights - this way I will not have to run a line through the firewall for a switch. The kit for the fogs includes a new light stalk - you won't be using this since your XE isn't pre-wired.

I rec'd mine from another member - I just made a post asking if there was anybody who wanted to make a trade. Some of the high end owners (read SE or LE guys) don't want too much chrome on their front end, and like the look of the titan with just the bumper chromed. You might also want to check ebay every now and then I remember seeing one for sale on there a while back. Lastly you can order one from the dealer brand new ~$350.

I have the XE/CC/4x4 (NO off road) and I do have the fog light pre wire. I think all 4x4 CC's do reguardless of having off-road pkg or not.

You are correct.

I have an SE w/ no fogs. I bought a set of aftermarket fogs, but haven/t installed them yet. I want the LE light switch/post, but am thinking of tapping into the parking light relay instead. Do you guys see any downside of doing so? When I had my Pathfinder, I pretty much just left the fogs on all the time anyway. Will there be any problem with overloading the wiring and what not??
