I still have a set off McCulloch 12000K HIDs from the last Outlander. I would love to get them in.

Be careful with HID lights. I have read that the laws vary from state to state but after market HID installations are illegal. I also read that certain levels are illegal. In NJ I know that 12,000 is defently illegal. You cant have any bulb that is colored. Yellows, blues, the purple that 12,000 HID lights emit and so forth. Please check more into it with your state before you spend hundreds on HID lights and get busted.

I know...hahaha. I got busted in the old Outlander for my lights many times. Too bright!! I didn't have high-beams. That was in NYC. I drove that same Outlander in Cali for 5 months before I got the '07 and nothing ever happened. Lucky? Probably....

Are you joking? NYC was busting your ass over CA?? I went to NY and people run the lights and drive like hell, running people off the road. The taxis and buses are just plain nuts. I would figure CA with all the laws would be worst.

JMC, no offense, but "what a hell is so hard to understand" that I see two options for the fog lights switch and I just don't know which one comes with the OEM kit (again, for sure not just a guess). If you know for sure, just say so. I too, have a feeling that it will be a switch, which I don’t mind at all, but I would much prefer the stalk if I would have choice. Don't ask me why....
For me, the point in getting the fog lights is to get rid of the ugly plastic cups that cover the bumper wholes where the fog lights should be. Yes, it's more of an esthetic thing than a functional one and I will definitely go with the OEM fogs due to fitting and warranty reasons.
I will be getting the OEM fog lights with my Outlander LS and I will confirm where the switch goes, not a biggy. The funny thing is that no Mitsu salesman or serviceman has a clue about this either. I was hopping that someone on this forum had the OEM fogs installed or works for a Mitsu dealership and has the credible info so I might be able to get a straight answer.
But like I said no problem, I will report back when I will have mine installed.

This is exactly why I got the model with the fogs...just so I don't have to spend a second even thinking about this....

well the reason I did not get them in the first place was the only model that had them were the LS's and I really did not want to throw away money for things I will never use like a third row seat or heated seats, Also I'm planing to get bigger tires/wheels, the 18's on the xls did not sell me. Just about the only thing I would've wanted extra on my car was fog lights, since I live in an area were its fogy almost every morning. This was not justification enough to drop an extra 4g's for an xls that had them. To be honest the only reason I wanted the outi was because of the looks, performance and I wanted 4WD. Did not care about the luxury side of things, so like dodo, we would like the fogs to cover up that cover and it could be useful at times. My decision will be made after I know for (sure) what switching mecanism it uses.
