Guess what? Not even the XLS have real foglights. What's on the XLS are DRLs, which are different from the Fog light kit in the LS.

I hope that you are joking around with us. If your serious then you obviously haven't read any of the replies on the last 7 pages.

Manybrews said this on page 4 post 38.

the cars with standard headlights have foglights you can control.
the cars with HID lights have those foglights turned into non-controllable DRLs.

In XLSs with HID then, would you even consider those DRLs as real foglights? 27W for DRLs vs 55W for LS foglight kit. Do the math, the manual doesn't even call them foglights (DRLs in XLSs). And you may want to check Post #15 on page 2 of this thread about what Manybrews said regarding HIDs and DRLs, link here: http://www.mitsubishiforum.com/fb.asp?m=120374

So who's not reading posts now?

So who's not reading posts now?

This discussion is running in circles again LOL.
What MANYBRES was saying is that on the LS w/foglights and base XLS (without Luxury Package which includes the HIDs), the foglights DO perform as foglights and they are controllable.
However, for the XLS with Luxury, which icludes the HID, the foglights "turned into non-controllable DRL". So YES, those "foglights" are NOT foglights anymore in the XLS w/HID, but DRL which are "non-controllable". He doesn't claim otherwise at all.
I think the confusion here is between the two XLS configurations: with and without HIDs. I think we all know that not all XLSs come with HIDs, right? HIDs are part of the Luxury Package, which is optional on the XLS.Therefore , what physically look like foglights in ALL XLS models, function differently depending on the car's configuration.On the LS models, the foglights, when installed as accessory, always function as foglights.
Simple enough isn't it?
