Yes, they were an option on E3s except for the 3.0Li which had them as standard equipment from the factory. The bracket is also super rare which is why yours have the home made ones. It is a very difficult shape to replicate.

And the super duper rare BMW orange fog light covers. I had a set of these that went with my car when I sold it.

Luis,

On your 4th picture, the mounting is on top of the light, is this Original?
On the lights I have the mounting is on the back of the light. Are these not correct ?

I didn't catch that on your photo! The E3 fog lights are mounted from the top as you see in my attached photos.

Luis,

Any idea what these lights are worth (with mounting on top)

Thanks for all the information.

There is no E3 market value established for those since there is so little demand. Other period cars used them and they are nice, the mounting is almost always the problem. They have an unusual mounting attachment.

I don't know...Whatever someone is willing to pay for them
