Yep.. 139 for a real piece of crap fog lamp is about right. ;]
That (and the cutting of the bumper) was behind the decision to do my own.
But if you want $$$$ look at the rear plastic lamps. I caught one

Re: '93 GC Fog Lamp Wiring
It's no doubt where Bill says it is, and it will have a part number or maybe
