Wow, lot more info in the last few pages to digest. Goodtimes!
Bill, for a minute, you sounded like you were winding down this thread man... had that gut feeling you get knowing that you are nearing the end of the story in a good book or movie... almost went into the millenial rocking-fetal position.... almost.
Also Bill, I got those Cibie 95is in... beautiful shape... Thank You for the info and suggestion again.
Seems the guy has a bunch more, as the same ad went back up on Feepay the other day. They are clean and have none of scuff/wear marks that he warns about in the description. Good buy for relatively short money, although it does suck that they dont include any hardware or accessory wiring, etc, (does come with covers and mounting stud).
That set of NOS GMC KC lights I put an offer on... the guy never responded to me and they apparently sold for better than my offer; I didnt strike hard or fast enough...LOL!

GM P/N 12341840: 2 Lamp Pkg; foglights w/ covers, lexan lens, wiring harness, directions, (switch?)....
Essentially, its a pair of KC 738's, with a GM Spec'd harness and a GM part number. My research tied these to '88-'94 GMT400 C/K trucks, as an accessory O.T.C. part/dealer option.
(FYI, they are discontinued folks.)
If they are like the typical KC 738's, they are not "great" quality & are more of a show than go... BUT, I would also suspect that GM forced KC to do some better-than-normal QC on them because they are an "Official GM Part-Numbered Accessory". Being an actual GM Part puts near-complete liablility upon GM's shoulders for any defects &/or safety problems, so the GM lawyers would have made sure QC was a priority in negotiations..... Not to be confused with "GM-Licensed Parts", which are in no way the same thing... just someone paying GM a royalty fee to put a GM logo on an aftermarket part, with GM setting general requirements for fit, function, & safety of product.
That said, the stock foglight mounting for these trucks was in the front valance, (as seen on the 454 SS). If this was the GM Dealership accessory upgrade over the stock foglights, its kinda strange that these were not made with pendant mountings. You gotta wonder how much thought was put into their actual usefulness in that style of pre-set mounting. I dont recall GM offering a low-mount brushguard for these trucks, but someone may know otherwise. ....As said in other posts, its difficult for foglights to work properly if they are not low enough to the ground & aimed properly.. ie.) see the road/terrain below any fog, snow, rain/drizzle.
"Eh, flip the Foglights upside down & mount in the stock brackets."
Unless you've been intermittently watching **** while reading this thread, you should know that the lenses & reflectors should ideally be designed to specifically cast light directionally, only to where its needed. I dunno if these lenses &/or the reflectors are bi-directional, allowing for the things to simply get flipped or if you can flip the lenses, but Id think GM would've had KC done that before packaging em up, but who knows?. To me anyway, the lens looks very similar to the run-of-the-mill GM foglight lens used on these trucks and other GM vehicles of the 80's/early-90's, but clearly a KC 738. Dunno if the magical difference is on the inside, "Ribbed for Her Pleasure" portion of the lens and the reflector.
Ultimately, the above is about as significant as someone's feet being on the Oval Office Presidential couch, when you compare it to the Oval Cigar Humidor Billy Clinton had on the Oval Office Presidential couch.
Also, Fender Flairs... look cool but an invitation for rot in the rust belt... any kind of body cladding that isnt sealed/bonded to the body panels is a repository for moisture, salt, dirt, and Calcium Chloride.... all very bad mojo on a bad **** looking truck.
