pssssssttt.....Your 03 has them. But i know what you mean I hate when SUV;s get behind me with them on for no damn reason almost as bad as broke *** drivers using High beams cause there driving lights are broke...the latter being the absofu*kinlute worst

Psssssttt...03's do not have them. We're talking about REAR fog lights. Only in Europe and Japan.

Sure, go to Pep-boys and buy a trailer lense. Then cut a hole in your bumper, mount it up and run a switch.

The only time when I liked having these useless lights (trust me it's useless even in fog) is when the @assh01e behind me drove with high beams, I turned on the fogs!!
And my car in Europe came with 2 fogs, 1 on each side.

you mean this one...yeah it's just a rear fog, but can give you some peace of mind when it's really foggy/rainy, and might just stop someone from running into the back of you.

Hi, yeah that's mine.

I'm in the UK, so it was all done for me for the SVA...I heard somewhere that the IX is coming in a FQ370 variable, so you could do a bit of chopping and changing with that when it comes out.

Thanks,

The fog light is controlled by a seperate switch (I'll take a photo of it and post it when I'm back from work).

As for parts in the UK, any UK main dealer would be able to supply parts, do you want me to give you the name/contact details/email of the one I use? top bloke, who is the official dealer in the lancer register (UK club)....the horse is actually the sign for the dealership I bought my car off (same dealer as mentioned before), but I've take it off now.

Cheers,

Matt
