Yes the wiring is there already and the assembly comes with the pigtail to connect it. If you don't want to run it thru the body control computer you can run it off of a 12v power source and a switch. It's a simple circuit. Running it thru the bcc just gets you the switch on the light stalk and the tell-tale lamp in the gauge cluster.

Or you could tap into the front fog light lamp circuit and run that to a relay, and then run separate fused dedicated power wire back to the rear. That way when you turn on the front fogs, it will trigger the relay and power on the rear lamp as well. The relay is there to prevent you from potentially drawing too much power off the front fog lamp circuit, as it is only designed to handle two 55W bulbs, nothing more.

Installed my Fog light today.. Its definately not Plug and Play. There are wires there but do not fit the plug on the fog light. Might have to run a switch.

Shouldn't that cover comes out with a bit of finagling - as to the wires back there, turn on your fogs and take a VM to the harness, see if you've got 12v across 2 wires that turn on/off when the fogs go on/off?

you do not have to take off your bumper btw. that lil flap comes off w ease. But I'm thinking maybe i should take it off to see if there is a cable somewhere tucked besides the obvious one that was by the fog light.

Mine came from a friend from Germany. I understand about the power. Its the connectors are different . You would have to spice into the wire or either buy and splice the dummy clip. Let me know how your dealer goes about enabling the body control.

Oh yes I will be investigating that and the harness issue. I have a friend in Japan that works for mitsubishi electronics so ill post up anything I find as it pertains to this harness issue. I'm thinking another part goes in between the usdm harness and the fog light plug on the light assembly. I'll also post and info on the dealer enabling the rear fog lamp feature.

Hi, I had just registered as a new member here. I'm from Indonesia. I have just bought my new Outlander Sport a week ago. The issue about rear foglamp is one of favorite here because our OS is not equipped with rear fog. I wonder if any members here have already found the wire yet? I have studied the workshop manual but I cannot find the wiring there. I guess ASX in Europe or RVR in Japan have a different wiring. So far I've seen OS owner here use switch but he doesn't link the ECU and the indicator light is off..
