I want fogs in my ix rs!!!

I want fog lights in my IX RS. I want them in the stock location so what are my options? There is NO WAY I'm going to spend $1K on JDM headlights. Did they (), ever make an Evo VIII/IX for the USDM with halogen headlights & fogs? Or is it only HID-equipped cars that came with fogs?

I'm thinking that if made an Evo VIII/IX with halogens & fogs, then I'll just purchase a set of those; throw in my Pilot HID kit on the low beams; buy a Pilot HID kit for the fogs & hardwire the fogs up with an aftermarket switch/relay/etc. & I'll be set.

So if did, what year/model (GSR/SSL/MR)? Thanks!!

Why dont you try using the lights off an MR that someone is parting out or has been in an accident. That might work, I had an MR and never used the fog lights.

i want them to i have a base ix and they dont have them. the mr bulbs are differnt then the non-hid version. you have to find someone who can take apart your headlights and but the fog housing in. i have been looking at this for awhile now hopefully that helps you.

the plugs are different too. I think the HID lights use a 8pin connector on the headlight but non HID uses 4pin. The simplest way I think to do this is to get a set of lights that came with fogs and run a aftermarket hid kit and then run a separate switch for your fog lights.
