fog light housing

Hi i have an evo IX base GSR model i think??? im still not sure about it lol its a regular evo with auto doors and windows but it doesnt have the special head rests or moon roof on it so iono if im right?? lol

anyways i was wondering my headlight housing did not come with a slot for fog lights.. theres a section for it but as i look at the housing.. the fog light section is blocked off.. now im wondering is there anyway i can get foglights or a possible conversion for it? or do i have to buy a brand new housing?? and if so is there already a place i can plug in the fog lights?

i also noticed that by my cluster there isnt a switch or anything by my regular lights...

there anyway to difuse this problem???
any input would be most appreciated!!!!

thanks!!!

What special head rests?
You need to do some more research on which car you bought.

If you search the site you can find info on all the different models. Technically there is no usdm "gsr" model. There is the regular 9, rs, mr, and se package.

Im guessing you dont have hid's either? You are probably going to have to change out the housings.

yeah looks like i have the standard IX do u know any sites i can buy the oem housing for cheap? usually lancershop sells everything expensive!!

and my question is after i buy the housing.. since my car didn't come with the fogs i assume that theres no outlet to plug it in too.. how would i go about getting a switch into my car and how would i plug in the fog light housing to the headlights? i would think it would be like the high beams but theres no wire.. would i have to splice it to something so itll work?

You could spread, scatter, or disseminate the problem.
