I bought some new fog fog lights made by spec d. I got them to replace the stock ones on my car. But when I went to install them that they do n that they do not fit at all. Spec D's website says they are replacement light that fit on 08+ Lancers except Evo and Rallyart. Has anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it?

Pretty sure the USDM '12 GTS has the ralliart front bumper.

You'll need to get a foglight kit for the RA or 2012+ lancers. 08+ will not fit.

Really? So would that mean that if I look for other body mod parts I would need to check if it fits ralliart from now on?

The description say as such
SMOKE HOUSING COMPLETE FOG LIGHT KIT DIRECT REPLACEMENT, ALL WIRING PREASSEMBLED IMPROVES VISIBILITY DURING LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS DOT/SAE APPROVED LIGHTS MADE BY MANUFACTURERS TO ENSURE QUALITY & FITMENT

FITMENT: 2008-12 LANCER ONLY (WILL NOT FIT EVO & RALLIART MODEL)

Put up some pics of your car dude, that would be easiest to get the right answer.

I'm looking but I'm not noticeing any. Unless what fits an evo also fits ralliart? from i'v seen in pics of some of your cars they have a similar shaped housing but the evo looks smaller.
