Fog lights on evo 9 SE

Hey im driving an Evo 9 SE and unfortunately it did not come with fog lights on it..
the light fixture for the fog lights is closed off and i was wondering is there a conversion kit so i can install fog lights or should i just buy a whole new set of headlights with a fog option opening??

if there is a way to install fog lights can someone supply instructions or any recommendations and opinions?!?!?

Thanks!!

cause they sold the headlights and left you with the RS/base GSR lights.

sucks, but the only way you can get fogs is to buy new headlights.

If you have a SE, then you just need the correct headlights. All the plugs needed are already there.

If that's your car in you avatar and it's white from the factory.. You do not have an SE. They didn't make WW SE's.

As stated before, if your fog holes are blocked off.. You need different headlights.

I was going to ask if you were sure the car was really an SE, and not a GSR.

WW is the paint name: weightless white.

Well the only red stitching on the seats is the recaro part so think my car is jut the standard model.. Now since I have to buy new headlights are all the plugs or adapter in the car already?? And if I can get the fog lights how do I turn them on in my car?? Wheres the switch?? Lol

If you do have gsr model with fogs the switch should be on left side of the steering wheel right under the vent. Hopefully you have it and don't have a base gsr.
