Mike-
My 90 90 also did not have any fog lights on it when I bought it.  I called my 
local Audi dealer for a price and was quoted $180+ for each side.  Somebody on 
this list turned me onto Clair Audi (http://www.clair.com). They gave me a 
price of $51.69 each (including ground shipping) for OEM lights which I ordered 
today.  The man at Clair said they are absoloutely identical to the originals. 
I don't think they are hard to install, looks like they should bolt right on.  

My fog light switch also lights up when I press it, even though I have no 
lights installed.  Weird.... as smart as these cars are, you would think they 
would know there's an incomplete circuit there.

Just wanted to share that with you.

Good luck with you "new" 89 100,
