96 7g fog lights install

[Joker96]

so i was looking in a local clasfieds website and found some brand new fogs with switch. i bought them they are glass brand new. my 96 7g already had the cables for them on the front. on the inside when i went to install the switch. i found the plug behind the cover where the switch is supposed to be so i tried to plug the switch butt heres where i need help. the plug and the hole where its supposed to go looks like they should just plug but the switch pins are a bit wider than the wholes on the plug. can i just expand these holes?? or i got the wrong switch?? here are some pics

i have that conector too (in the trunk jaja), but, i decide to conect the fogs to light at the same time as the headlights.

[Joker96]

i want this to be all stock, i think i got the wrong switch. ive been searchnig that part number and all i get is lancer evo 5 fog switch. so maybe thats why they dont fit. the question is, is the wiring the same? if so i can just make the wholes bigger or just go and get a galant fog switch , which i cant find nowhere.

[raks_22]

u cant find it because only the GS, and the LS, come whit it

[raks_22]

my ex galant has that oem :(

[Joker96]

yea, i got this switch with the fogs so the guy gave me the wrong switch but i just paid 80 for both fogs brand new oem so cant complain ill try looking in a junker or something see what i can find. if i make it fit, do you think it would work?

it looks like the plugs are a little different so i dont think that switch would work,you can try oemmitsubishiparts.com and see they have it.

MB869765 is the part number for the switch. 30 bucks new at the dealer. and what fogs did you get?

[Joker96]

I bought brand new stock oem 7ga glass fog lights.

[Galanttuner10]

ok and the switch doesnt work right? i gave the number of the one you need. i just thought if they had the right fogs they would have the right switch.

[Joker96]

Lol the thing is the guy that sold me those fogs used to work at a mitsu dealer back in 1999 and he stole them when he got fired. They been siting around ever since. Everything was brand new still in bags and boxes. I think he thought those where the ones that worked with the fogs when he took them. Ill have to buy brand new or ebay used. Thabks for the part number

I wonder if I take out my aftermarket switch and put in an OEM one if it would be as simple as taking the old one apart and putting the wires to the new one. I love the fact that mine is wired up to be on even with the high beams...but I think I would like the OEM switch

[98mgalant]

Dude Evil-G if you figure out how make sure to let me know. I want use the OEM switch but I don't have the wires like some do. And joker let's see some pics of the fogs installed bro.

[Galanttuner10]

every 7g is pre wired. i have yet to see one that isnt. the wires are that and are hard to find at first. with the OEM switch i believe Stunr made a tutorial on how to rewire so they stay on like you have it set up evil.

it looks like it is the dimmer switch that is different on the assembly he has so he might be able to just switch out the dimmer switch too.

[Galanttuner10]

i think i have a foglight switch down stairs. i will take a pic later of it

I had my radiator off the other day and looked for a litte while and couldn't find anything. I also looked inside the dash and couldn't find anything. Does the plug run into anything else so I can follow that wire to it?

[Joker96]

my car doesn't have powered mirrors neither fogs but when i removed the whole piece where the dimmer, mirror and fog switches are supposed to be, i found the cables there. ill take a picture of how i found it when i removed it.

[Joker96]

this is how i found them

i have 2. are the fogs the right fogs? did that switch work at all?

[Joker96]

The one i got is not for a g but for a mirage it fits in the housing but the pins are a bit to thick to fit in the holes of the plug. Pins are in the same spot so im thinking in making them fit see if it works if not ill buy one for a g somewhere

[Joker96]

tonight i finished my semester in college so i decided to work on that switch. i didnt want to mess up the stock plug and since the guy that sold me the fog lights gave me 2 mirage fog switches i said lets try something. the stock plug has only 4 wires and there are 6 pins in the mirage and original galant switch 2 if those 6 are not used. so i took some wire and ran the pins needed from the pins to the plugs holes and it worked. so i took the switch and broke it in a primeval way very horrible destroyed the switch and took the pins and cut them in half to make em thiner. all this just not to mess the stock plug. the result? it worked. once u see the way i did this it looks horrible from the inside here are some pics
tha plug i dont want to mess up

now i noticed something i wasnt expecting maybe its happening because thats not the switch i needed but fogs turn on while on low beam and high beam, not on park lights. is this normal? i thought the should turn off while on high beam.

[Galanttuner10]

they should turn off with the high beams on. if you sent me your address i would have mailed you the right switch like i posted earlier as i have 2 extra

[Joker96]

I thought buying one from u but am from pierto rico and shipping is on the expensive side

[Joker96]

Wrong call they do turn off. Is there a way of making them turn on while on park lights?

[TheKnightRider]

I'm sorry to open this topic again. I got my fogs and I checked that same place to see if I have the wires and I do but when I went under the car to see where the wires went in order to connect to the fogs, I was unable to find them.

Any help guys? I got the oem switch

[Joker96]

I found mine just hanging there below the heads just where they are supposed to be on the bumper :/ ill try to take some pics tomorrow morning

[TheKnightRider]

That was what I was expecting. I also have an Explorer and when I added the fogs I just found the cables hanging down.

What I did when got my fogs I just bought a fog kit from autozone and a bigger fuse then ran it off my head lights so when I turn them on power runs to my switch it was easy but difficult to explain lol...... Never had a issue...
