I have Bosch fog lights on my '84 GTV-6.  I believe they were a
dealer-installed option.  My understanding was that fog lights on '80-s era
passenger cars were generally more of an accessory than a real performance
benefit.  Fog light lenses are opaque, whereas real bona-fide driving
lights have clear lenses (i.e. you can see the bulb and the reflector), a
much higher power output, and are supposedly illegal for highway use.
