Default 1995 325is fog light E36

Any recommendations for replacements for fog lights? Can you find used ones? Any inexpensive but decent quality brands? Are fog light covers a good idea? They are so easy to break!
Thanks.

I got this set to replace the fog lights in my wife's '98. They're nothing spectacular but they work well enough for her purpose and they don't throw any bad glare around. Otherwise, I can't say how they compare to the OEM fog lights because I just don't drive her car enough to notice.

The brackets they come with are really flimsy, tho, if you also have to replace those.

Let me look in my spare bin from when I built the Spec3. If I have one, you can have it.

I appreciate your offer, but wouldn't want to take yours. Just looked at the Spec3; didn't know there was a racing series for the E36, but I knew the 3 Series was popular for racing. Cool! Thanks.
