Hi All,

I'd like to install fog lights on my Outlander LS.
I also would like to change the headlights to sodium instead of the standard halogen bulbs. I often drive out into the country and visibility becomes paramount.

I think the factory (& Mitsubishi) supplied foglights are Halogens, and that's not exactly what I have in mind - neither practically, nor esthetically. ;)

I'm also wondering if anyone has any experience with wiring kits/switches for the foglights. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Any tips?

Perhaps you would be looking for driving lights rather than fog lights. As you likely already know, fog lights will cast a beam meant to be low and wide; not all that far in front of the vehicle. Driving lights will far outreach your headlamps as they are meant to project beyond the reach of your headlamps, but with a more narrow beam. I drove from CA to CT (cross-country) in January, so I got very good use out of both sets of lights. Look into some PIAA lights. I have never wanted to spend that much money on them so the $40 driving lights always suited me just fine. I hear that they are worth the money though. The mitsubishi factory fog light kits are pretty easy from what I have heard, easier than an aftermarket purchase, but will cost you about $160. I would go with the a little more work and buy the aftermarket kits- which will come with all necessary hardware. There are some kits that have a remote to turn the fog/driving lights on and off to save you the hassle of running the wires into the cabin for the switch.
Good luck.

I got a deal on the factory fogs and yes they are very simple to install (plug and play)

now, If you wanted to get these and require more power I suggest using the 9005 bulbs instead of the 9006. all you have to do is mod the bulb base just a little.

the 9005s provide a nicer brighter beam (they are after all low beam lights)

Thanks for the replies.
I'm not too sure i want to be modifying bulbs - but it seems like a interesting option. Just so I understand clearly, you're suggesting to purchase the mitsu fog lights, and change the bulb for increased performace? I'm in Canada, so they'll run me at least 300$ + the bulb work. I was hoping to find a suitable after market kit that will cost me less.

Is there anyplace on line that I can download the instruction for the mitsu fog light installation? (to be better able to evaluate the compatibilty of the after market kits)

Thanks again!

ok, the factory fogs have a harness and are pre wired, and the outtie has the plugs (if you'd like to see, remove the front grill and you can check them out)

installation is just plug male to female, then add the on off switch (which is basically already pre wired) in the lower left portion of the guage cluster.

Now, Im thinking that the plugs that are found might be able to be spliced to use after markets, but then you have the problem of locating a factory on off switch (mine cost me $45)

other than that you'd have to ask someone with more wiring experience.

(also should note, the instruction manual is 6 pages total. 3 of which where just warnings. the instructions also included diagrams which streched it a bit)

good luck with it :thumbsup:
