    Ok... So I bought my fog lights on ebay and they are almost exactly like the real OEM fog lights that come on the lancer GTS's. On the box they are called ESUSE Original-type Fog Lamp for Mitsubishi lancer 2008. I had no problem setting up the harness for the lights, removing the front bumper to set up the wires that connect to the bulbs, or installing the switch that goes inside the car. All I need is some electrical and wiring advise. I don't know how to connect my switch on the inside of the car to the rest of the wires in the engine bay (how to i get it past the firewall). And I'm not to sure how to hook up my lights to a power source. If there is anyone that can help me I would really appreciate it!

    what I recommend doing is feed positive to battery with a fuse and negative to switch and switch to car chassis... that way you wont have to be worried about if it makes contact...

    I was thinking of getting those.

    Question, hows the quality of those fog lights? Like was there any problems attaching them to the base of the bumper.

    ok so I finally figured out how to finish installing my lights. It was actually pretty simple and the only hard part was fitting the wire through the firewall so it could meet up with the switch on the other side. To bring the wires down to the lamps you need to remove the front bumper which isn't that difficult if you follow these directions :

    the lights are of good quality and I have no problems so far.


    PS the wire can be fed through the firewall via the grommet in the back center of the engine bay near the exhaust area!

    If you run your wires along the fuse side you can take that big plastic thing off in fron in your engine bay and run em down that way...thats what i was plannin on doing
