Adding datetime running lights to he ES model.

[DonDakin]

Hello again,

Rather then my usual topic of cold weather I have a question about Daytime running lights.

I was wondering if the wiring and the casings for the lights are already on the ES imievs ? Is it just a question of adding the lights and the relay to turn them on or is it more of a major surjury ?

Right off the bat the turn signal lever needs changed, but I think that's pretty simple to do. I can't imagine Mitsubishi would make a different wire harness just to lock that option out. It's supposed to be dealer install-able.

There used to be DIY OEM Mitsu DRL kits on eBay for adding the fog lights, so I assume it's not that hard to do - Think the kits were about $250 or so. If you check with a dealer, I'm sure you can order the kit. You might have to check with a dozen or more dealerships in order to get them for $250 though. Many dealerships sell parts for ridiculous prices. I buy genuine Mazda parts from a dealership who specializes in Internet business and the prices are frequently in the range of 50% of what my local dealer wants for the same item. We NEED an 'Internet Specialist' Mitsu dealer!!

Includes everything including a new turn signal switch which includes the fog light switch.

Here's the installation instructions

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that everything is pre-wired and all you need is the kit.

Thanks so much iwatson.

With this kit it would be pretty simple to install the DRL's

Hey Don,

I'd actually like to tackle this project myself, before these kits get hard to find.
But I just can't bring myself to let loose of the $$$$
