GSL-SE Factory Fogs - What did they look like?

Does anyone know what the factory fogs for the 84/85 models looked like? I have a switch labeled "Fog Lights" in the car on the left hand side under the steering wheel that I'm certain is original, running to a set of wires held in by brackets that all also look original. I'd like to put some lamps in there, but before I go poking my head into guessing what they looked like, does anyone have a photo? Black Dragon doesn't carry the part.

I don't think there were ever OEM fogs for any first gen. It might be a very good kit from Maraiah or something.

Saw that button on a FB in the boneyard today; leftside low, to the right of the mirror controls. Round, red, says "fog lights" on it.

Don't recall seeing lights on thefront, but I was searching for SA parts, not FBs.

That's the one, though mine's faded to an orange-red.

Did some searching and while I might have an IMSA rear bumper (will have to compare to the pictures more closely) I have a stock front. It looks kinda weird from the side atm, yes. Anyhow, I don't suppose they still make such a thing or that there are some in a warehouse somewhere?

its not factory, its dealer/port installed. this is why its not on the parts fishe.

if you could find such a thing mazda would have had a parts flash/bulletin about it.

the lights themselves kinda look like the ones i see on older bmw's

I understood that the only options on a GSL SE were sunroof, leather, and power steering.

Post #7, I can hardly wait to view links and such.

Cars looks pretty clean. I demand more! LOL I would ditch the side skirts and the rear fascia but that's just me. The spoiler looks pretty decent

They aren't the same. The one you posted is a 1 piece front air dam that is similar but not the same

It is odd. The fact that it is perfectly centered in the indentation is what convinces me that the car was sold that way. I've found a couple of replacement lights that resemble the fixtures DF posted above. If I go ahead and dump the $125 for them, I'll post pics of the install.

Well that indentation is there on all the cars, with a hole in the center. It is usually used for the choke, but on the 13B cars, a plastic blank was snapped in there.
