So straight out of the factory the D40 has wiring for foglights in the front bar.
Nissan sell a kit to do this which includes two lamps and brackets and a new headlight comination switch, issue is the price $$$$$$
A few people have asked is it possible to make it all work with an external switch, answer is YES......
Cost under $10 to however much you want to spend on switches and of course your choice of foglights, ( check the bin at the local 4wd shop suprising what they chuck out)
Remove the two torx head screws holding the lower cover under the steering column, remove the lower cover.
Pop out the combination switch , it has two white tabs holding it in,one top and one bottom.
Remove the two screw and pop open the rear cover of the switch assy.
On the board where it is marked D2 we need to solder a suitable diode in this location a suitable diode is available from Jaycar CAT . NO. ZR 1070

problem is you have to buy 10
Next solder some wire to the points on the board marked a & B ,
run these cable out through a slot in the side of the white case
I used some phone cable I had.
Reassemble the switch and install it back in the navara.
run the cable to a switch of your choosing , it must however have discrete contacts, ie no lamp across them , if you are using and illuminated switch use a relay as we are switching a BCM logic circuit.
the result is the fog light indicator will illuminate on the dash and fog lights will now work.
