- For my fellow Mirage enthusiasts. As promised, I have made this video to show just how easy it is to add fog lights to your 2014-2022 Mitsubishi Mirage.
I bought my kit from eBay, but there may be other places that sell them. The entire install took less than an hour and cost less than $100. They wanted $500 to do it at the dealership!

That only started the procedure for my 2018 mirage es. Going through the activation process worked for the long 3 sec beep
But didn't activate the lights.
To finish the activation process I had to after the 3 sec beep I turned the fog switch back on then I heard a 1 sec beep.
Then I shut off the motor
Then restarted the car
Turned on the headlights then turned on the fog light switch.
That activated the fog light icon on the dash and the lights are finally working!
I mixed two sets of you tube instructions to get them to work!
Wow that was super simple. I’m actually picking up a Mirage from the dealership today at 3:30. I noticed when I went to test drive it, the car didn’t have fog lights. I can’t wait to get the car and order a set of fog lights. Thank you for the great video!
Glad I could help, I hope you love your Mirage as much as we do.
Hallo from Germany! Just bought one (called Space Star here) and going to collect it on my birthday. This car has an awesome value for money!
Enjoy!
Perfect tutorial, gonna do this on my girlfriends 2015 mirage
I’m getting to like those little cars. Thanks for the video 👍
They are great little things!
Thanks for your very informational video that helped me out a lot. I'm redoing my fog lights this week on my 2017 Mitsubishi mirage and I'll be adding the Led version lights to it so I'm pretty excited on how it'll look when it's all said and done.
Good luck my friend!
How was it? Any difference between LED and halogen?
Yes I'll have to upload a photo later when I get home.
@@travisk1556 awesome! Please do. I’ve just installed mine in halogen and I have always wonder how LED goes? I bet it looks sharp.
Ha, I don't really care for Mirage (not that I don't like it, I love small cars), been following your channel for your radio stuff, but I still watched and enjoyed this, short, 'sweet', informative, instructive. Like it. Only thing I am missing if I were Mirage owner would be links to where you found the light to buy and where/how you found all the info how to diy. Great vid though, like most of yours.
thank you for sharing this video
Thanks for watching!
Hey Eric. Thanks for sharing this tutorial. How did you find out the door opening & closing 5* technique? It’s magic. I thought you were about to use the russian software again. I wonder if the 5 times open and close the door would be able to program other functions.
Thanks for the video 👍🏼
No problem 👍
Thanks brother very much for this video, my only suggestion would be filming the procedure you did with the fog switch inside the car so we can see exactly how, thanks.
I realized that with some videos that I have had done- hindsight
great video !!! did this on a 2021 g4 and no beeping. seen on some other years you have to disconnect the neg cable and open the doors then reconnect the neg and shut the doors pf , pr,dr, get in shut the df then do the seat belt and start the car and do when you did . tried them all and no beeps/ fogs any tips would be very help full. thank you in advance and hope the weekend is going nice and slow for you
Merci beaucoup pour le conseil de la programmation ça fonctionne 😊
Je suis heureux d'avoir pu vous aider.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Don't own a Mirage and don't really have plans to get one, but damn, that was a clean install! Question: Will the CB and 102" whip void the warranty?
Wife said that it would void the warranty on her car but not mine? Not sure how that works
How to do if you dont have the switch for fog lights in the light lever ? (that one that is used to turn on the normal lights)
Do I need to have headlights on when I start it to activate foglights
sir can i have a question,do you have tutorial on how to activate mirage G4 GLX 2021,and where the location of switch,thank you
just bought myself a 2021 mirage hatchback es, ty for doing these videos. would you be able to do a factory center console install?
we just did an aftermarket one. It sits in the cup holder so the install was easy.
Can You add cruise control by using this method?
I would have assumed you programmed them through the radio/computer. Opening and closing the door 5 times is a weird way. They look awesome, and you know what you are doing. Do they have to be aimed?
Hey do you think that these cars will have a enthusiast scene in the future like with the old hondas? The way I heard it was that people had bought civics and stuff and started putting turbos on them just for fun and found out you can make good power, are these fun to drive? Great video as always! Is the process similar on other cars? I didnt know you had to activate them
There is already a nice group of followers for these tiny cars. They are more like the Geo Metro lovers. Honda fans want to go fast, Metro and Mirage owners want to drive a simple efficient car. I do hope that more aftermarket goodies come out for these as more and more finally come off of warranty.
@@FarpointFarms yeah, I've seen a black mirage zipping around my neighborhood before and it looked like a fun little car! We need turbo kits!
@@FarpointFarms oh my god imagine this at a future car show ? 🥴
Theres a guy rolling around in a 2017 mirage here in Jax with covers over the wheels and flushed door handles. Looks like a Advil pain killer rolling down the street.
I'm from puerto Rico and these cars are really huge here. People mod them, customize them and there are lots of car clubs with many hatchback mirages.
Can you post a link for what kit to buy for this? It's 2021 and everyone's only got older stuff that I find
Can you please give a link where to get the fog light kit? Thanks!
Hey Eric, does this work on Mirage GLX 2022.
Can you do a video of the engine bay and underbody ?
How is it holding up against rusting ? I get worried looking at all the rust formation on the bolts in 2-3 year old Mirages under the hood etc.
Has it seen any salty roads as yet?
We get a lot of snow here and the use way to much salt on the roads. I did undercoat this car the week we bought it, and as a result it's holding up really well.
hey do you know where can I get the armrest you put in the car. And the part number?
Hi sir, thanks for sharing this!! May I ask what specific relay you use? And what exact location shoul I put it?
I wish I could remember which one that I used to give you a specific answer.
@FarPoint, how does the LED fog lamps improve night time visibility versus halogen's from your knowledge and experience? I’m debating either or. Just don’t know them
I find the LED to be a bit brighter and they last longer. Good bright halogens tend to burn out quicker
So, if for whatever reason you have to replace the bulb, you have to undo all that backsplash again (PS the programming was hilarious)?
Yes, it would be the same.
For cruise control, is it possible to open/close the door 5 times in 10 seconds to add it into the computer? Or do you need to use the OBD II scan tool for that?
No, you will need a scan tool for that one.
Does it come pre-wired?
Thanks for making this tutorial Eric! Super helpful. I got my foglights installed but am running into some issues with the programing that I was hoping you could shed some addtional light on. Now, I have a 2024 model so could be that the sequence was changed on newer models. After opening and closing the door 5 times I switch. The fog lights on and it does beep for a little longer then 3 seconds maybe 5 or 6... But then nothing. With that said do you flick the lights on or do you leave the foglight dial rotated into the on potion the whole time. I read that after the initial 3 sexonds your supposed to here an aditional quick beep if its successful. There was one time that I got two back to back beeps after the long beep but according to forums i read that means its unsuccessful. But yeah do you just flick it on or leave it held?
Have a 2023 ES and I can't get any beeps either I think the sequence has changed
I finally had scuess by running the cycle but with the ignition on but the engine Not running. Also disconnected the battery with the doors open then closed in order of front passanger door around to drivers door. Also buckeled both drivers and front passanger seats. Not sure of the exact sequence but I did it about 20 times and it worked. I also just used my finger on thedoor jamb buttom to cycle the door. So my advise is for the 2023 is try the sequence with the key on acessory and ignition but not running the car as with the engine running on the 2023 did not seem to work. Not sure why it worked this time but it worked. So keep fooling around at maybe you will get lucky.
@keithdarrow2583- those are some good tips, Sometimes the sequences can vary from year to year, so maybe that is the case.
@@keithdarrow2583 finally got it working. Seems like disconnecting the battery and cycling all the doors did the trick 👍
Sweet
thanks
So that's where your radio setup is. For some reason I thought it was in a little shed.
Do all Mirage models come with a place for a switch to turn the fog lights on and off, or do they always come on with the low beams? I watched your 2021 Mirage review. I think the body style is much better now than it was in 2014. The weird line created between the front end and the hood to make room for the Mitsubishi logo for some reason stands out to me and ruins the look of the 2014 model. I've never seen a hood designed like that. The price you paid for your 2021 Miraga is better than many used Mirage prices I've seen online.
i'm curious if this activation method works for rear foglights of other Mitsubishi models as well? 7:19
I am not sure about that
Do you know if the same year hatchback fog lamps fit on the sedans? I can't imaging they wouldn't but on amazon and ebay they both say it won't fit but it looks like it would.
To my understanding they all fit the same. I bought the g4 foglights for my hatchback and they fit pretty good. I just need to connect the wires and relay.
its been a while since this was posted , but , do you think this would be the same to install on the 2019 outlander , it has the fog light switch on the lights , when i bought it new the dealer said i could simply add the lights without any new wires because they were already pre installed just not equipped , and it would take about an hour or so , so im guessing its the same , i looked past the shroud and never found the plug taped to the OEM harness , maybe i didnt look hard enough , gonna check again this weekend , thnx
I would assume that the install would be similar- I wonder if it is tucked under somewhere else?
This works only if your multi-function switch (Headlight switch) comes with an integrated fog lamp switch right? Because older base models doesn't have any.
Correct, but you can still wire in a new switch with these if you go with an aftermarket setup.
@@FarpointFarms So there is a connector inside the steering column or dashboard where I can connect to a swtich to use the default fog light wiring harness?
I'll do the same thing doesnt worked to my 2014 mirage hatchback
Do you have a part number for the bulb? How much did white bear charge to deliver the mirage?
it was around a $1000 to deliver- reasonable in my opinion
Hello! My mirage g4 didnt show the no seatbelt sign after I installed the foglight. What should I do? Thank u
Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it activated. Give it another shot!
@@FarpointFarms do you need to open the headlight first before opening the foglights?
What are the characteristics of the relay?
I went to a junk yard and grabbed a bunch of relays years ago. I am not 100% sure on the exact specs as i found 1 that worked
I’m looking to buy the same car. Keeping the wheel at 14” but want a run a wider tire. Any suggestions on how wide of a tire I can run?
You can run up to 195 I think 185 I'm sure, but it will void the warranty to do so. I plan on keeping mine stock for until that 100K runs out!
If that’s true then wouldn’t cutting the bumper to put fog lights void the warranty? I don’t want to get wider tires at the moment but was thinking about running wheel spacers. I definitely don’t want to though if it will void the warranty.
I got one I'm doing today I see the kit comes with a switch so I don't know haven't seen the car yet supposed to be in 2022
Don't use the switch. The one on the stalk will work and it looks better since its factory.
It's a 2023 what I thought was a switch was actually the relay and have not got it to work yet😢
I have problems to activate them on my 2023 Mirage. The method with shutting the door 5 times does get me a beep of 3 seconds. But nothing more. Also after I plugged in the additional relay, there is a 3 second beep. But now even the rear fog lights dont work. And there is no sign on the dash. I tried it more than 5 times. Can someone give me some advice
I am not sure what went wrong-
my car got around 20 liters of petrol for 400 km. is it the same as you? my car got mileage around 210,000 km. got the car cheap from my best friend as he changed to another car. this car has sentimental value for him as this is his first car. he still wants to see, feel and have a ride in this car. he bought it in 2013. fun facts, this car is only 2 weeks younger from my other car, and i am the one that inspected the car for the import vehicle registration.
That mileage sounds about right.
@@FarpointFarms ok thanks
I went to my auto parts store. He said I need to know the realy switch #...What realy is it???
What kit did you buy ? Would you mind sharing that information
Nope.
Just installed these lights on my 2024 and the included instructions from the dealer for activation did not work. I tried different combinations but still no beeping. I ended up using my Lauch scan tool to active. With the tool it took less the a minute.
Thanks for sharing that about your launch. Maybe the dealer instructions we so bad you would come back and have them do it
Can i activate the switch even if theres no foglight instaled?
Yes.
Wow thank you.
All i need is to put the relay then that on engine with 5 times open and close doors?
How hard is it to install the lamps without removing the wheels as to have them turn left or right to get more space to install?
I can’t even do it. It’s impossible without a lift
@@GrandpaWaffles true. Lift is required unfortunately.
First!
Where did you order the fog light?
eBay has them.
I am going to get 6000K LED fog lights installed on our new 2021 G4 sedan.
Yo did not show how to make the electrical connection please is importan i would thank you so much that you show us how to do it
These are pre wired. No need to do anything but plug the wire into the new bulbs. The wiring is tucked into the fender panel, you can't miss it!
I have a 2021 mirage just like the one in the video, same color even. I bought the oem fog light kit from Mitsubishi and install them exactly the same way in the video. When I tried to activate them it did not work. I took it to the dealer this morning and they could not get the fog lights to come on either. Double checked the connection to the lights and fuse is in the correct spot. Any ideas? The only difference is I put a brighter bulb in instead of the ones they came with. Could that be it?
A few things to look at- Some times if you upgrade to LED's it might not work correctly, you might have to put the bulbs in that the kit came with. Does the light come on the dash? If not, it might not be activated correctly. Also, sometimes the dealers are not the best ones to trust.
Thank you. The fog light emblem in the dash will not light up. I will put the stock bulbs back and start over. And I agree the dealership was clueless and will never trust them again.
@@toddcrumbaker1207 were you ever got yours resolved? Curious to hear your progress 🙂
Does anybody know what capacity does that Relay has? 40A?
I see it is a 4pin relay, but how many amps is it?
15 will be plenty, but I had a 20 amp around so I used that.
What autosorcery is this? Put on your seatbelt, start the car, then open and close the door 5 times quickly.
Dude that spell is like word for word from Harry Potter.
Ha, there is no sorcery here.
@@FarpointFarms Yeah just a mechanic who knows a trick or two.
Keep up the Mirage videos if you have anything more to share. There aren't enough vids out on the newer refresh. Was cool to see how your wife's is decked out with OEM mats and sills. Gives it a "proud to own" feel.
I hate how cars have fake lights
Don’t work, fallow instructions and don’t work
Tell me what you did and I can try to troubleshoot for you. Email me at farpoint.farm.survival@gmail.com
I tried so many different versions of this and what finally worked on my 2020 G4 LE was (Seemed like a far shorter then 10 second window so move fast):
1) Sat in drivers seat buckled in and key out of ignition completely (and windows down so I could close the doors fast)
2) Opened all doors
3) Start your countdown..... close passenger front
4) Closed Passenger rear
5) Closed drivers Rear
6) Closed drivers door
7) Started car and opened and closed the drivers door 5 times
8) Turned and held the switch until I heard a long beep and released
9) Turned and held until I heard a short beep and released
10) Shut off car and when I started it again the switch worked as long as the low beams are on
I even disabled and enabled a second time to test it out and it worked again without issue. You can enable the switch without adding the relay under the hood, should still see the light on the dash green up. Hope this helps someone else....
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, it did worked as described & advised :)
Update:
I was so happy that turned the fog switch operative (with the help of my wife) that I THOUGHT that the Fog Lights gone alive, unfortunately a wishful thinking :(
Yes the switch and the relative lamp on the dashboard lights up but not the front fog lights, still operate as DLR.
Any ideas are welcome
Fog Switch Activation, as described here and by fellow @user-qj3tp7jk7i worked for me too:
1) Keys off the ignition
2) seated & buckled in the driver seat
3) opened all 4 doors
4) closed doors in sequence: front passenger, rear passenger, rear driver's, driver's
5) keys on ignition & turn on engine
6) open & close quickly 5 titimes the driver door
7) switch & hold upwards fog switch till hear long beep, then release
8) once again switch on fog switch till short beep
9) turn off the engine.
That was it :)
