A friend of mine installed them..and I stood there and watched them do it too lol (I thought you had to activate it to, but apparently not). $140??? Rip off. Not worth it!!

But all I remember is making a hole and hooking it up to the switch etc etc and hooking them up to the parkers and running them down to the foggies. If you are not in a rush I'll call them tonight if i can.

If you use the genuine kit, with the new indicator stalk and wire into the factory harness, you must get it activated at the Mitsubishi dealer with the MUT3 tool. It only takes 10 minutes.

If you just have an aftermarket kit (eg from ebay) then they wire with their own harness and do not need activation at the dealer.

I used a wiring harness....but it needs to be hooked into parkers as per law I'm pretty sure (maybe that is how you do it without going to Mitsubishi instead of doing the whole computer thing ) . Mine work..no problems other then bad globes. And it was done by someone who knows what they were doing...not an incompetent fool.

It is an aftermarket bar...so not sure if fog lights are totally genuine or not.

I bought my girlfriend a set of eBay and they came with Mitsubishi instructions but the instructions didn't match up to what was in the kit. We managed to get a new indicator stalk an harness off a wrecked lancer and had Mitsubishi activate it in ETACS under warrenty for free because they thought they were OEM fog lights :)

140? Thats a bit too expensive for a 5 min job.. I'll give a call to all mitsu here in noosa, maybe i can get them cheaper somewhere.. :)

Got a quote of $65 to have the foggies coded... I think its a bit too much still but better than 140...
