Default Aftermarket fog lights?

Hey everyone, I have a 2007 Outlander LS without factory fog lights. I would like to add a pair of aftermarket lights to it. For anyone who may have done so already, what would be the correct diameter lights to get? And any recommendations on brand/style/whatever? Thanks in advance.

I had one of the light knockout pieces get knocked out by a rock a few years back. I was going to rig up some aftermarket lights, a relay, and a fog light button from an '01-ish diamante...supposedly they fit into the switch panel below and to the left of the steering wheel. My only issue, I could never find a set of lights that included mounting hardware that would for sure mount up correctly to the three holes available on the inside of the bumper.

I ended up cutting up some dark gray plastic bins and made my own cover plates.

Not sure if these are what you'd need exactly, but check these fog light assemblies:

The mounting holes is what you need to look for when looking at aftermarket pieces.

Hit up Daniel Stern and see what he recommends. He's extremely knowledgeable and respected in the automotive lighting and regulatory world.

I wonder if these would fit. I'll have to grab the spec sheet and check one of these days when it is not snowing

your first link does look promising. looking at the photo gallery for them, it looks like there is an up/down adjust. Supposing it does bolt up, you'll have to manually wire it up and you won't have any trim around the fog light.

While I have not measured it yet, I think you would still have the trim ring. The trim ring is inserted in the slots around the fog light. (at least the 2012 does). It would be nice to use the same bolt holes but if not, im sure I can drill it out.

As for wiring, that is the easy part.


It is snowing like a bastard out, so one of these days I'll check

You can buy them from Mitsubishi; MSRP $292.40/each.

I had a rock put a hole right through my 2013 with less than 1000 miles on the car. If anyone knows of a junkyard with an Outlander let me know as I would be really interested in replacing mine.

Probably not what youre looking for, but heres a pic of mine in the air dam but with the bezel removed.
