Ralliart fog lights please help!!!
Ralliart fog lights please help!!!
I have a 2013 GT-AWC...which has several Ralliart features. One of which are the fog lights.
The notorious cheap plastic lenses have cracked on me, and of course you have to buy the whole assembly. Dealership quoted me something stupid like $380 each.
I can find what seems like thousands of aftermarket fog kits for all other Lancer models, and have seen many for EVOs...but I can't find anything for Ralliarts.
Other than the DIY lens fix solution, can anyone please point me in the direction of an aftermarket set? Even if they are ones meant for another car that are the same.
I have only come across a post from neogeo64 stating that they appear to be the same as a Mitsubishi L200 Triton Plus (2009+):

Worst case even a universal set that uses H11 bulbs, and will fit correctly with the stock black plastic mesh frame.
If it helps, I believe the OEM part number is: 8321A463
Would appreciate anybody's help or experience thank you!

regarding finding headlights
You can use foglights from just ordinary Lancers that are not evos as well.. just as long as they are from 2008 or newer. Call any "pull and safe" and ask if they have any lancers from 2008 and higher then go hunting for parts!!
They have a different black trim piece that fits in the bumper cutout, and the lens itself is actually contoured to one side.
Also the mounting screws do not line up at all.
Ordinary fog:

RA/EVO fog:

Thanks for your input...but take it from my trial and error lol
I purchased the 09+Triton L200 fogs lights from ebay last week. I will post a review of them when I get them so others know if they are a cheap alternative $70 shipped for complete set.

My Ebay Fog lights Arrived.

It seems the photo's used on ebay for the L200 set I purchased were false.
Below Is what I got.

I'm not sending these back to Thailand.. so I might as well inspect them and see if they are usable. Original on left, Ebay on the right.

H8 35w bulb housings instead of the stock H11 55w

They do fit..sort of, one screw fits if mounted flush, i probably could of got 2 to work but it's not the same as the oem hole layout. With the grill on they look perfect. I would have just dealt with the non-functional height adjustment hole if the housings were H11.


Conclusion:
These will work if you are planning to go HID ( you can just order H8 35w HID kit and be done.) I personally want to keep the OEM sized H11 55w bulbs.
I might still use the glass from this kit to fix my OEM fogs. If I am successful at removing and mounting the glass, there are other cheaper 3.5" glass fogs on ebay to use as glass donors so I would not recommend purchasing this kit for that purpose alone.

My attempt at using the eBay lights as glass donors 
I removed the broken glass from the OEM lights.

I found that baking them in the oven did not loosen the sealant at all to remove the glass. So I took a Dremel cutting wheel to the eBay light housing.

I was able to cut off the glass without cracking it.

...to be continued (soaking this thing over night in Gasoline to see if the sealant dissolves enough to pull glass away from the plastic ring.

^^^^ First off...thanks neogeo64 for sharing your experience and somewhat being the guinea pig lol. People like you really help the community! 
I am actually surprised on the mounting, it's obvious the adjustment screw is offset and you won't be able to use it with the covers on...but once it's set, who really ever uses it anyway.
But from your 2nd and 3rd pic, it really looks like the mounting holes would have lined up...too bad they didn't once actually placed in. Bumber on the H8 35W
As mentioned earlier, I ordered my set off eBay. They were a bit pricey, but when I received them I was very happy to see that they were Depo brand...which is an excellent aftermarket OEM replacement.
They looked identical to my OEM fogs and fit in perfect, and they even came with Osram H11 55W bulbs (despite the eBay description saying bulbs were not included).
I personally did not want to go through all this again, so I've ditched the 55W H11 bulbs and threw in some nice Lumen H11 PlaZma LED bulbs to avoid the lenses notoriously cracking from heat:



Also, I took the extra precaution to put on some clear Lamin-x protectors on the lenses:
This way if any stone/salt damage...I'll just peel them off and put on a new protector (ordered extras).
My fogs now match my HID's and my LED Strip/Halo ring in my Spyder headlights. Front looks clean...no more orange/yellowy halogen lights for me!

Success!
Gasoline has separated the plastic from the RTV.
I will test this out on my second Ebay fog light without dremeling off the glass. That will save a lot of time in swapping over the glass.


3.5" Ebay glass fitted only OEM housings


If the second glass is successfully removed without the need for a dremel I will write up a how-to in appropriate section.

For glass these will work (they might even bolt up fine if you don't wantto keep the oem housings.

Those bulbs aren't on eBay (or anywhere else for that matter).
I got them from CARiD:
http://www.carid.com/lumen/lumen-pla...-25655943.html
It looks like they are currently out of stock on the H11 bulbs though.
There are many other ones out there online that look the same with the projector lens too, just not sure the quality in comparison to these ones. Roll of the dice sometimes.
I'm in Oshawa too bud, I probably have driven past you a few times lol.
PM me if you ever want to link up sometime
