Everyone was staring at the holes in my bumper designed for fog lights; on photos of similar cars, I saw either actual fog lights or mesh covers (or like mine - nothing).

Finding these fog lamps is quite a challenge due to the rarity of such vehicles (especially pre-restyling models). I even considered improvising with something that fits (purchasing from Japan was less appealing as it costs around 12-15 thousand rubles for fog lights, and they are also rare on Japanese auctions).

Occasionally, I browse through marketplaces setting filters for what I need without specific details (as this narrows down the results a lot, and sellers don't always specify correctly), scrolling through thousands of listings until something catches my eye.

It happened with fog lights; I found them at a truck scrapyard in Ussuriysk. Requested measurements to be sure — they matched perfectly! Must get these). By the way, these fog lamps might come from a truck as there are protective 'tubes' not typical for cars (and the brackets don't fit either - I'll make my own).

The fitting didn’t go smoothly due to pre-attached brackets that needed drilling out and replacing with custom ones or cutting and rewelding/re-soldering.

Upon arrival, I disassembled and cleaned the fog lamps. The internal lower part was severely rusted, so I soaked them in lemon juice then painted inside using regular three-in-one primer paint (the inner side isn't visually critical).
