93 Saab 900 Turbo CE - which headlamp?

Hi, I've got a 93 CE edition that barely had a scratch on it until I took out a good size buck just before the holidays. Caught him with the drivers side front end and he hit the windshield and went all the way over. Some hood damage but completely trashed the headlamp and bracket and turning signal on the drivers side. I struggled to find the correct parts online and finally found all 3 on 'thesaabsite.com'. I ordered, about $500.00 total, then got an email saying I ordered the wrong headlamp and the one I needed was back ordered from Saab with no restock date.
I ordered this part # 32000360 for the headlamp that was labeled 87-94 and # 9557075 for the headlamp bucket. Tony, from thesaabsite, who was helpful and responsive, came back and said what I really needed was part #4092870, and cost was $319.00 but included the bucket so not too far off - problem is this is the part that's backordered until who know's when. I've heard parts are still being made but given Saab's demise I'm not sure how much priority there is for the older models. My CE has wipers on the headlamps and I assume that's why I need a special one.
Just curious if anyone knows for sure if the other model light would fit my car - the wiper arms are independent of the headlamp assembly. Or if maybe someone knows another source. I've spent a lot of time looking on eBay and Google and didn't want to start calling junkyards if my only option is one of the rare 325 CE's still being available.
I found part # 1002943 on Skandix.com for $189 but I think that's just the regular light for 87-94.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It's my daily driver and I can't drive it at night and my inspection is due at the end of January.
Thanks,
Chris
