Mitsubishi Mirage Fog Lights: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults
On the Mirage, if the dashboard genuinely shows fog lights on but the relay isn't clicking, this points toward a ground issue on the relay's coil side specifically.

Mitsubishi Mirage Fog Lights: Rarely Used, Easy to Forget About Until Needed
Most Mitsubishi Mirage owners barely use their fog lights outside a handful of days a year, so a fault can sit unnoticed for a long stretch — until a properly foggy morning exposes it at exactly the wrong moment.
Mitsubishi Mirage Fog Lights: What It Does
Front fog lights are angled and positioned to illuminate the road surface in low visibility conditions without creating the glare a standard headlight beam would in fog. Some higher trims of the Mirage integrate fog lights into the same housing as cornering lights or daytime running lights, which affects both the part number and the complexity of any repair.

Fitment & Compatibility
Mitsubishi Mirage Fog Lights: Generations & Fog Light Type
| Standard trims | Halogen fog light bulb as standard |
|---|---|
| Higher trims, later model years | LED fog lights become available further up the range, genuinely a different assembly and connector from the halogen units on lower trims |
Not every trim level of the Mirage comes with fog lights fitted as standard, and the housing design often differs between trims that have them integrated with other lighting functions and those with a standalone unit. Always confirm your specific trim's fitment before ordering. Whether you're sourcing a replacement fog lights for your Mitsubishi Mirage from a dealer, specialist, or online marketplace, always check compatibility against your registration or VIN before buying, and confirm you're ordering the correct side — driver's side (RH in the UK) or passenger side (LH in the UK) — since these are not interchangeable.

A Genuinely Useful, Real Diagnostic Distinction Worth Knowing — Mitsubishi Mirage Fog Lights
If the dashboard shows the fog lights as switched on, but the actual lights don't illuminate and you can't hear the relay clicking, this is genuinely worth knowing: this specific pattern points toward a ground issue affecting the relay's coil side specifically, rather than the fuse, bulb, or the relay's switching side, which may all test fine individually despite the fault. It's worth checking this specific ground connection before assuming the relay itself needs replacing.
It's also genuinely worth knowing that a fog light fuse blowing repeatedly points toward a genuine short circuit in the wiring, a defective bulb drawing excessive current, or a faulty switch causing current spikes — worth having the specific cause identified rather than simply replacing the fuse repeatedly.
