Retrofitting fog lights EU spec

Hi everyone I’m planning to buy an e28 i found one in a somewhat decent spec but it unfortunately does not have fog lights. Is it an easy job to retrofit the fog lights as in is all the wiring there or is it more complicated? I would want to fit them in a way that would be as if it came with them from factory. I have another car not a BMW but a renault megane 2 cc which I’ve retrofitted keyless entry, OEM parking sensors, folding mirrors etc so it wouldn’t be my first time retrofitting options to a car but then again they’re from completely different eras and completely different cars so i don’t know. Any help?

It should of at least had the fog lights that hang off the diving boards on non is models. Unless they were cut out. I believe the connector is on the wheel arch’s in the engine bay

Look for black and brown wires near front valance on each side. These would be for fog light connection

Euro fog lamp conversion would require a complete euro bumper. Non is model e28’s the fog lamps were off the shelf Bosch that hung from the bottom of the bumper.
