    There are at least three different types of fog lights listed on eBay for the '14-16 which several sellers have told me will not fit the '17-19 hatchback, although may fit the sedan. One has a big weird mounting bracket; another seems to have no mounting bracket, just four mounting holes on the body; and one looks like Stecoop's pic. I can't believe they all fit the '19 so I'm trying to find the correct one so I don't end up buying three before one fits.

    Looks like the lights themselves may be the same, but with different mounting brackets?

    Wreckers don't have interchange for the mirage, they guess, or go by "it looks the same" interchange, or just say it'll fit to make a sale. Unless they use a parts interchange program other than car-part, eden/hollander.

    Hi,

    On the original post the photos are showing up all blurry and say photobucket on them. Do you think you can upload them to ImGur instead and then post a link?

    My wreckers exchanged the fog lamps for the correct style and when I mentioned I needed a 3rd lamp, but didn't need the bracket, they got one for me, no charge. That was nice.
