Jim,

Can't speak for the commonness of them, but when I had a 3 back in the
60's, I drilled holes in the over riders , the inside side, and mounted
them there. The looked good too...mine were not fog lights though, they
were "driving" lights with quite a bit of candle power I belive....which
may be illegal today!
