Bosch Fog lights worth installing? Pulled out of Yard. 200

I came across an '88 240 in the junk yard that had two bosch fog lights installed on it and the green fog light switch on the console, so I pulled them off. Someone had already cut the wiring harness on the lights so if I connect them I will have to figure out the wiring.
Both of the lights have good glass lenses but one of the reflectors is totally shot. Are these good enough fog lights to spend the time installing? I would want to use them while driving in snowstorms that are blinding to drive in with just the headlights.
I didn't realize that I could get a set of new Bosch fog lights for under $40.00 when I pulled these off the junked car. It looks like I can also get a replacement reflector and lense for around $15.00. I am wondering if i just shouldn't buy the whole set of new ones and then if one of the lenses breaks I will have two spares.
But is it worth taking the time to install these? Is the light quality going to make a differance?
And if so do I drill mounting holes on the lower front to mount these?
I really aprreciate any feed back.
