OK heres the deal on Saab E-codes. (IE european code headlamps). All the ecodes for 900's are H4's. However there are 3 different styles. The 87 and up is one. Its a more vertical lense and very hard to get a hold of in the USA since they didnt come on any cars. They can be found in canada, but so far I have had no luck finding a set.
Then theres the 79 to 86 900's. You can go to a parts store and buy a set of the 5" by 7" (or whatever the dims of the rectangular lense are) H4 replacements that look like stock but have the H4 lense and bulb. Then there are the Real Ecodes for 86 and earlier. These units are much bigger and consist of a lense, reflector and plastic body. They are held together with clips and the individual parts can be replaced. The Ecode spans from the turn signal lense to the grill and nixes the inner lights next to the grill. A set of these will go for $300 or more new usualy. If you can get a set from canada you might get a deal. These original Ecodes came stock on a few of the early USA models.
