Not sure what gone wrong but they wont work. Problem is that Mitsubishi don't sell fog lamps for my car either.

Btw: are both of them on each side supposed to work or just one on each side.

Heres a pic..........

Seems like you have the twin VR4 fogs or that someone has put a extra set of lights in. The V6 galants dont come with twin lights in each fog as standard! Take a close pic of the fog.

Anyways if its the VR4 twin fog lights then read this:

If its a aftermarket job where someone has just added a second fog then the the problem can be many things..

GTZ's lamps were a rare ( and highly sought after) dealer option (not VR4 units)
I dont know what each lamp does, but sure someone will be along soon that does.

certainly on the VR4 the outer lights are wired up to the indicators and come on when u indicate, and the inners are the fogs

Check the fuse in engine compartment number 4 15 amp

I had my lights rewired to have all 4 one at the same time

Its not the VR4 one. Its the optional kit that was available in 2000 from Mitsubishi. One of the lamps is bigger than the other.


I'll check the fuse first

One pair comes on as fogs, the other pair are wired in with main beam. (If it was factory fitted.)

Can't remember which way round - I'm sure if you PM Paul Beazer he will be able to help.

I have these lights on my V6-24. Inners are definatly fogs. And as Nick says Outers should come on with the main beam, providing they are wired up correctly.
