Finally OEM fog lights, with OEM switch that WORKS!

I finally figured out how to convert a IX GSR to factory HID and OEM fogs using the OEM switch and relay, easy 1 hour job max with some donor parts.

If there is interest I will do a "how to", it's a pretty easy job but it may or may not be easy for someone to source all the parts from an HID equiped car, as you need some stuff out of the fuse box.

The only thing I did not do was add in function to the leveling motors, they are garbage and useless IMO. Either the cables seize up, the bobbing problems. Even when I did have them in my VIII I NEVER used them ever.

Yeah I had an 04 SSL before I traded in for a brand new IX....I set the leveler to the highest setting and never touched it again. I def. miss the OEM HID's - really not sure why mitsu didn't make that a std. option - especially w/ the price tag of the car.

I'd like to see this writeup as well. Stock RS headlamps w/ fogs utilizing OE parts is what I'm after.
