Are the 2 bottom lights functional?
Hey everyone.

This may have been posted before, but my bottom two lights on the front, which I assumed were fog lights, never seem to come on. If anything I figured they were the day-time running lights...

What are they for?

Thanks!

They also good for scooping up water and destroying the bulbs.

Like others have said the foglight switch is a ring next to the head light switch. Just turn it slightly up to turn them on and down to turn them off.

Also, your headlights have to be fully on for the fogs to switch on.
(can be changed by messing with wiring tho)

Wow... this is such a nice forum... some other forums out there would have flamed the OP to death for not knowing how to turn on his fogs. lol

I use to have my fogs wired so that my halos and HID fogs could turn on on independently on my old lancer. Good times.
