Ron, the only difference is that in France they have to have a yellow foglight and headlight system, thus making them yellow in appearance from the factory, the glass is yellow, not clear.

Otherwise it is a clear glass everywhere else in the world.

How much did the french fogs cost, if you don't mind me asking?

They are the same price as regular fogs at $175 each from the dealer at retail price. So a total of $350. Try and get someone with a wholesale account.

The problem is, I bought them and one was faded to a green, so I have to get another set.

What about the plugs?

I found the wires but they are by the engine bay 1986 E30.

I'll take some pics shortly...

Hmm you might have a problem since you are doing it for an early body E30. Did you do a bumper conversion?

[cbouchez]

Yes I did.

[M42Technik]

Yes I did.

Then the problem may be that the wire you need are not setup for late models, I am not sure how you could splice them in since early fogs don't take H3 bulbs...sorry man, I dunno shit about early models.
