92 DLX Need Headlight Multiswitch

So I had the high beam not working problem Flash worked and high beam would sometimes work. I did the contact "filing" months ago and it worked... or it is better. Still doesn't seem like it's making good contact. Flick on high beam and sometimes ther is a delay. Or they work fine or they don't come on at all. Once they went dark, I flicked to low beam then back to high and they came on. Again, flash always works. The multiswitch is nearly $300. I don't want to buy used. But I'm not sure what to buy. On dealer part sites, the diagrams don't show a good picture of the switch. I also see "w tilt" sometimes. Mine has tilt but not on this switch. It has lights and turn sig on left knob and wipers on the right. Anybody know a part number or where to look to KNOW I'm getting the right part?
thanks.

Go to one of the factory parts sites and search using your your vin number.

Using the vin number should guarantee the correct part number.

Millball: point is....what am I looking for? Combination switch? Multiswitch? Looking at diagrams doesn't help for this either. They r so poorly done, the combo switches on the diagrams look like boxes, not switches with handles. Thanks for helping.

it's synomous IMO...like how some people call an ECU a brain box..
