I went through the same a couple months ago with my 92. You can find the post on here. Its amazing how soft these cars are in comparison to the w123.
But in any case i have a good head light i can ship you if interested let me know, cheap. I know how you feel. That stuff wont be very easy to find.
What part of Cali are you in I have some connections may be able to find you something.
