Personally i would just get mitsu to install them though i would imagine it would be more expensive getting them to do it compared to a auto electrician. Good luck with it :)

The ones off ebay are aftermarket, so Mitsu will probably not install.

The proper OEM fogs require a new indicator stalk which has foglight control integrated. The dealer also needs to reprogram the CANBUS to allow them to work.

The aftermarket ones probably come with a toggle switch which will need to be wired in.

Prefer the sound of OEM I'll look into price of buying and installing

OEM would be the easiest but most expensive option.

I dont know any one who uses them. I just like the looks of them so ebay ones would be fine for me.
