Default Lighting questions....

I was just wondering a few things...

1. To put new foglight bulbs in what do i do... Do i take the two screws out holding the fog light on from the front and then the bulb just comes out from the back???

2. Anyone who installed different headlight bulbs any easy ways to do it....

yes to both.

the head light is simple, just twist the harness from beind the housing.

same thing for the fogs once you get the unit out of the bracket.

amazing sounds easy just like i thought.....i think i am gonna buy some silverstar fog light bulbs and headlight bulbs tomorrow and install them to try to get the yellowish look from the stock bulbs gone....would like to do hid's but i had them in my endeavor and i could never figure out how to disable the daytime running lights....if i could figure out how to disable the outlanders drl's i would buy hid's instead

ypu 06 was the start of the drl's on the outlander and it sucks.....they is like no way to bypass them and get them to not work. Ive pulled fuses for them and all..mitsu says its alot more trouble than its worth to uninstall them....so i figure i wont be getting hid's ill just get bulbs...

Daytime running lights were added in 2005 when Mitsu changed from standard halogen headlights to projector headlights.... Which, by the way, look much better than the pre 04 lights.

yeah i agree i definitely like the 05,06 projectors.....i think thats one of my fav parts of my outlander...just with the drl's makes it harder to get any kind of lighting upgrades but other standard bulbs....but thats what im gonna do gonna buy silverstars here today or tomorrow when i get a chance to go to the store....

When you get tired of your DRL's, remove your lights, box them up, mail them to me, and I'll happily mail you my non DRL Halogen headlights....just because I'm a nice guyand I'm here to help out I'll do that for you.
