Gently Pry Out Trim Cover
This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the third generation (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017) Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in changing a burnt out fog light bulb in the front bumper cover.

Owners of other Mitsubishi vehicles such as the Lancer, Outlander, Mirage, ASX, RVR, Galant, I-MIEV, Montero, Eclipse, 3000GT, Endeavor, Raider, Diamante, Attrage, Carisma, Colt, Grandis, Magna, Pajero and the Space Star may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The compatible replacement halogen fog light bulb part number is H11.

If you would like to have brighter fog lights, choose H11 LED bulbs.

The only tool needed to access and replace the old light bulb is a plastic pry bar tool or a flathead screwdriver covered with thin a micro fiber cloth.

To prevent from scratching the plastic surfaces or possibly damaging the paint on the front bumper cover, I recommend that you use either a plastic automotive panel pry bar tool or a flathead screwdriver wrapped in a thin micro fiber cloth.

Insert the pry bar tool in between the black plastic trim panel and the bumper cover.

Gently pry out the trim piece. You may to re-insert the tool at the other side of the cover and pry again.

Try to avoid using excessive force, the trim cover should pop out relatively easily.

Set the trim panel aside in a safe place.

The fog light bulb housing is held in place by three Phillips head screws.
