    P.S.

    These may be fog lights as there are only two cables for it, a black and a white, 12v positive and ground maybe...?

    My 2015 ES has the fog lights fully functional, not sure about subsequent years. I haven't paid much attention since mine work. Hopefully someone else can answer that for you or we can help you look for the wiring harnesses.

    Hello all,
    . . . . My 2019 G4 ES has the Switch and the necessary wiring. All you need are the foglamps, the mounting screws, and the relay. Everything else is there. The foglamp kit from the dealer is $100. You have to take the bumper cover off to install the foglamps, install the relay in the main relay box under the hood, and then validate the system. I.E. Tell ETACS that the foglamps exist. That is the step that I couldn't get to work even though others were able to do so.
    GOD Bless and Thanks,
    rich!

    Hey everyone. Just a few things to note. I'm the guy that made that YouTube video and I wanted to let all of you know that there are aftermarket fog light kits that are perfect fit for the Mirage that cost 1/3rd of the price. I think I paid maybe $40.00 for the kit, and it plugged right into the factory wiring.
    I also want to let you know that you can turn on the fog light option without ETACS. I can say for certain that the OTC evolve and the Autel maxisys 908 both have it as an option to activate, so you can call around to local shops and see if they have those scan tools. It literally takes seconds to activate the option in both of them.

    Lastly, if you want to add factory cruise, you will need to use Etacs. I haven't found an aftermarket scan tool that has that option.
    I've had these installed about a year now and my ES is the most SE Mirage you will ever see! Love my little car!!

    Any links to these lamps?

    This set is even fancier than the ones I bought. These are LED, but are direct fit and plug right into the existing harness.

    Dredging this back up again, because when I go to eBay and filter for MIRAGE, it indicates these are not compatible. It's trying to imply these fit the G4 but not the Mirage. But I think the fog lights between the Mirage and G4 are exactly the same. Just wanting to see if anyone knows for sure. I'm guessing they actually work for the Mirage as well.

    Anyone?

    17+ HB and G4 are the same. 14 & 15 have an additional bracket the fog light attaches to before being mounted on bumper.
