what are you talking about none of them have grills. only grilles for them are made by grille craft aftermarket. all they get is fog lights and the golf ball textured vents under the blinkers

You say the dimmer switch may be unplugged. Where is that located? Just behind it?

And at night the clock is lit up good, and when i turn on my headlights the clock dims, just wondering if that was suppose to happen.

For touch up paint, is that something i am gonna have to go to a dealership to get? If so, any dealership? or a mitsu dealership.


And Emonz you were right about the dimmer switch, so that problem is fixed.

I was driving around today and i noticed a really bright reflection on all the signs i went by and most peoples taillights in front of me. I knew it was my car because it was everywhere i went. Maybe my headlight? Because one is all scuffed up and the other looks brand new.

As you can see in the second picture the left headlight is all scuffed. On the bottom of the bumper there are two clips,I was wondering if those were suppose to be bent upwards and screwed in? The guy at the dealership said that he saw one drive down the street and they were just hangin like that. Dont believe him though.

they are supposed to be screwed in.. they just help support the bumper.. its not a big deal if they're not tho. and yes you hafta go to the mitsudealership if you want touch up paint that will match. autozone and im sure a couple other parts stores sell them but its crap. i think there is a sticky somewhere on the forums that explains what you can do to polish up your headlight.
