I think you can get ones from mars performance for 150ish I was looking at them myself, although the ones you have posted comes with the indicator stalk. The ones from mars comes with a button that goes near the asc button.

They seem to be OEM. which is great!
Don't forget that when you install them you need to go to a Mitsubishi Dealer and get them to "turn on" the fog lamps in ETACS.
They should be able to do this for free maybe as part of your service, but they might charge you 40$ if you just rock up.
basically the OEM fog lamps are controlled by the ECU and its a 5 minute job for them to do.

Yes the foglight parts are Interchangeable from ES-VRX and maybe Ralliart...
But defs ES-VRX most parts are interchangeable/fit all lancers
No there shouldn't be an issue with LHS/RHS as its just a globe pointing in one direction without a cutoff unlike headlights

MY08-11 ES-VRX Fog Lamps are all the same.

NOT

The RAs and MY12 Activs & VRXs arethe same.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but it is the Fog Lamps thread in the Lighting forum.

Is $665 for Fog Lamps installed by the dealer abit too much? Because it seems abit too steep, IMHO, but I understand that it's not just a simple install, there is programming of the ECU and my stalk needs to be changed, right? Also, if I do it at the dealer for this price, I won't have warranty issues down the road vs if I did it at an auto sparky?

Thanks in advance!

well you are paying for the labor costs + parts + profit
You should be able to get the OEM lights for about 300$.
depending on how comfortable you are with self installation the rest is up to you.

I will upload some dealer install instructions which come with my purchase of fog lamps. (next post)
Hopefully it might give you a heads up of whats actually involved.
