They were made by Hella originally, and the outer casing is handed and shaped with an angle in order to fit the shape of the front valance and the mounting holes. So, it's probably possible to make something else fit, but not incredibly well, and you'll have to fabricate a fixing method and way to align the light correctly with the road and angles for setting it! Best bet is to keep an eye out for 360 GLT's in a scrap yard, as they got them as standard, then hope and pray that the two screws holding each one in will turn and haven't corroded in place so you can get them out!

Lights shouldn't be too hard to drop something else in tbh, worth a go anyway, the stock fogs are angled straight, even though the cowling isn't. Can't be difficult to make a cowling fit, and have a stock foglamp of the right ish size fit?
I got my fogs from ebay, there are often guys scrapping 360's on there, drop them an email!

yup 100% sure, it wasnt a standard car, pretty damn quick aswell
ive got some fogs of a 740 which i could probably make fit, depending if i can get the guard thingys out of the front skirt/valance/bumper (whatever!)
