Smile Original running/fog lights?

What were the original running/fog lights on my 89 XJS? Were they Hellas? I have brackets under the bumper and would like to find a pair of originals to install. Any help?
Thanks,
Dick C.

They are Hellas and Hell-A Expensive if you can find them.

Are there any OEM or repro lights avail?

E-bay is a good option?

I just bought a set on ebay, they look just like originals, cost $31 including shipping...they'll have to do, can't spend 2 or 3 hundred bucks on them, I just want them for looks, not for 'concours'.

I got a set of these. They are close to original, glass.

Can get fog or driving lights.

Not too expensive. Wiring them up to use original switch great can be a problem as the factory switch gear involves a new switch to replace the existing. I wired mine up to be switched with the rear and used the one switch.

No drilling required

I may try to use existing wiring from original lights, but function is secondary.....I just want the lights for looks, they seem to balance out the front look.
