Fog Lights for Lancer ES? Please HELP!

I searched all over the forums on here and couldn't find out the part number for the Fog lights....

I have a 2002 ES Lancer, and I was wondering if all fog lights would work on it?.... I see a lot of fog lights on Ebay... are they any good? ( They offer 100W lighting... )

Most aftermarket ones should do as long as it physically fits in whichever hole/grille space you want it in. I have a pair of round ones at the edge of the grille space where the front license plate is located. For my OZ it's got ~90mm vertical so I got one with 82mm height. I didn't take off the black plastic panel so the light sticks out a little. But my fogs are quite shiny and that matches my grille so sticking out works fine for me. I chose yellow light to match my car and to cut thru fog. I considered getting rainbow/purple but then I'd rather be street legal and have no fear for cops road blocks.

Thanks for your help

There seems to be different kinds on Ebay and outside places.... some are for A3 Racing? ( is that better than these regular kinds? )..... and what kind of wattage should I be getting?...

can I change my headlights and foglights to both 100W?... What would I need to change in order to do that? ( Fuse? )

Are you looking for foglights that go under the license plate or go in the bezels(sp?)? Well go https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...threadid=47674 . Thread already dedicated to fogs. You'll see a few examples and if you're looking for the ones in the bezels then read Jubeis answer to my questions.

Possible?

Is it possible to install both side-pocket foglights and bevel? foglights ( the ones that go on the side of the license plate like the yellow Lancer on the link )... sorry don't know the correct terms...

so I should buy a rectangular (oval?) shape for the side ones.... and the circle ones for the license-plate lights, right?

I personally like Jubies and only have to spend $20 and a few hours, but if you want to do both, I see no reason why you can't. Just make sure the fuse can pass that much voltage/watts/whatever.

OK, Thanks for your help... everyone on here is so nice and helpful....even though the questions ( like mine ) been asked a hundred times already...

So estimated , the kit cost around $40 ( lights + wiring kit ).... that's from the link you gave me.... so you wouldn't recommend the ebay link that I posted? could you please check that out, and tell me what you think?.... Reason is, that auction does handle 100W.... it seems make a big difference than the normal 65W?

Where can you get a fuse that can handle that much? ( hardware store? online? ) Thanks.....

i live in FL and we are not allowed to have more than two sets of lights on the front of our cars. so you would not be allowed to have two pairs of fogs in addition to your headlights if the laws where you are are the same as FL.
