I can say with certainty that they were not in the 1984 Mazda Accessory brochure because I just looked at mine. I would be surprised if they were an '85 accessory either.

You see these on early Z's also. I believe they were a dealer installed option.

My brother had them on his 84 too when he originally bought it. The only ones I've ever seen.
