Owners of other Mitsubishi vehicles such as the Outlander Sport, Eclipse Cross, Mirage, Mirage G4, Lancer, ASX, Montero Sport, Pajero, Xpander, Strada and RVR may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The compatible replacement halogen light bulb part number is H16 which is available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, Philips, Hella and PIAA.

If you'd like to have brighter fog lights that will also last much longer before burning out like the traditional halogen bulbs, install some H16 LED units.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include a flat head screwdriver, a 10mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet and possibly also a pop rivet removal tool.

The first step is to slide under the front corner of the SUV near the burnt out fog light bulb.

There are three pop rivets and one silver metal bolt that need to be removed in order to release the access flap.

Unlock the pop rivet located just in front of the outer edge of the tire by prying out the center button with a flat head screwdriver.

Pry out the base of the pop rivet with the screwdriver or a pop rivet removal tool.

Unlock the pop rivet and pry out the base of the fastener.

The third plastic pop rivet is situated just in front of the middle of the tire.

Unlock the center pin in the pop rivet with the flat head screwdriver and pry out the base.

Set the three pop rivets aside in a safe place.

Loosen the bolt by turning it in the counterclockwise direction with the 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

Set the bolt aside in a safe place.

Swing down the black plastic access flap.

(Note - This is also a good way to access the front turn signal light bulb.)

Push in the release tab on the electrical connector before sliding it straight off the base of the old bulb.

Then pull the old bulb straight out of the housing.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) fog light bulb part number in this 2020 Outlander SEL was an Osram H16 12V 19W U 64219 L+.

If you do get the new bulb dirty, wipe it clean with a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol.

Insert the new number H16 bulb into the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction to lock it into place.

If you'd like to have brighter fog lights, install some compatible replacement H16 LED units.

Push the electrical connector straight on to the base of the new light bulb.

You should feel or hear the power plug "click" securely into place.

Swing the plastic access cover up towards the bottom of the front bumper cover.

Make sure the center pin in each of the pop rivets is in the raised and unlocked position.

Push in the three pop rivets.

Tighten the bolt by turning it in the clockwise direction with the 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet until it is snug.

Try to avoid over tightening the bolt to prevent from stripping the threads.

To test the new fog light bulbs, turn on the headlights and then activate the fog lights switch.

Be sure to write down the bulb change in your vehicle's service records.
