It looks like the part number is the same for both seats. I'd confirm the part number with the dealer.
Drivers seat 12455492
Passengers seat 12455492
It's a bit confusing since GM changed the design in '99 from a two bladder to a one bladder system.
The contacts that I'd given you above are not "3rd parties" they are Chevy dealers that will give you the best price on parts, not retail. You will pay thru the nose if you just go to your local Chevy dealer.

actually my 99 has 2 lumbar bladders in the drivers seat...
ive never taken the pass seat apart as it works fine however i assume they are the same...
why only one part # per seat?
do they come in a full kit for the entire seat?
i'll check into that...
i appreciate your help...

I'm not sure what prompted the design change.
Here are a couple of photos of the two styles from the parts list. Let me know if you need the part numbers for the old style.
