Why do you want to disable them?

Because they are useless and more of a pain in the butt.

My car never get dirty enough to the point the headlights can't be seen. All those things do is mess up the front of the car and drain my washer fluid. They should have made them function on a seperate switch.

Must be murky and dirty around where I live :) , I find them quite useful and although they do contribute to using a lot of washer fluid i would rather see where I was going and of course have others see me. But your right about messing up the front of the car :D

I dont have a Saab (yet, still deciding on a few different cars), so I don't know if there is a seperate container for the headlight washer fluid, or if Saab's have intercoolers. If they do, what some Audi people have done with their A4/S4's is reroute the nozzles from the headlight washers to in front of the intercoolers for some manual spraying. Or in some people's cases, they've designed programs to control when to spray it. Seems to work pretty well.

On my 9000, I did 2 things. First I unplugged the motor than ran the light washers. Second I removed the y-splitter that split the line from the tank to the headlights and windshield washers, and just connected the tank and the windshield washers.
