According to Edmunds.com - they just published an article about what's new for 2009, the XLS Luxury package will include autolights. This means that the parts required for autolights will become available in North America - stalk and photo sensor at least.
In my opinion,the questions that remain to be answered in order to determine if a retrofit is possible are:
1. Is the necessary wiring present in the 07-08 Outlanders or new wires and/or connectors are required?
2. Is it possible to enable the feature on the existing lights control unit or it is required to replace the unit or flash the existing unit?
I guess only a Mitsu tech would be able to give us the answer after doing some research.

Photo sensor p/n 8634a001 $196.07 currently three available in the states
sensor cover p/n7630a022 $9.83 also three available
though the dash wiring harness is the same part number the etacs unit is different.
this may be due to its programing. the switch with the rear fogs is not aUS part but p/n 8614a063 is for auto headlamps in the US market.
I hope this info helps

RE: Frustrated at engineers
Thanks for the info Mitsupartsman.
What’s the price for the stalk with the auto lights and the new ETACS.
The damn photo sensor is quite expensive. I suspect it is different from the one in the 07-08 XLSs used for the Auto A/C.
Do you know any reliable Mitsu techs that would be able to shed some light if the ETACS needs replacement or reprogramming only? Can it be done? Are there any other things to worry about or consider when makingsuch mods?

Bean Counter vs. Engineers
Although engineers had nothing to do with the fact that certain gadgets were proposed and some weren't the truth is that
they could at least have thought about installing a windshield wiper fluid low level warning sender
come on that should be a basic security feature every time you have to go to work or on long drives you have to pop open the hood and check that level yourself
now that was misjudged
later

I completely agree on the simple sensor and driver notification though, it would take nothing for the engineers to add it.
