  1. 9-5 Workshop
    HI everyone. 2006 9-5 with factory HID/Xenon headlights. My driver side bulb was starting to go out, and I happened to notice some LED bulbs on Amazon with pretty good reviews. It was $80 for two instead of $55 for just a single OEM Xenon bulb, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I ended up going...
  2. New Member Introductions
    Hello, I joined this site more than ten years ago but have had to make a new account due to forgetting my details. Anyway I have a problem that I just cannot find the answer to. Goodness knows if someone can help. I have a (uk) 2008 9-3 Aero Ttid convertible with Hid lights which were in a bad...
  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have just replaced the the low beam headlight bulbs in my 2006 9-3 vert. The bulbs fit into the holes properly, and the clips seat in the notches and hold the bulbs securely. The problem happens when I try to reseat the ballasts. I can press them into place, with the four "legs" seating...
  4. 9-5 Workshop
    All the searches I've done here talk about HIDs flickering and describe it as the light going off then back on. That is not the problem I am experiencing. What I experience is that the light flashes brighter briefly, almost as if I'd flashed hi beams (except the hi beams aren't lit at the...
  5. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hey guys, I've tried looking in the forums but my question wasn't really answered by previous posts. So anyways, my headlight assemblies are very cloudy on the inside, (and i don't wanna mess with trying to open them and clean them) but i my question is. Since my headlights are HID, can i still...

    Went ahead and bought the Morimoto HID kit to replace my stock halogens. Kit is here: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/h7-morimoto-elite.html?carDisplay=2006+Saab+9+-+5&preselect=47697&preselect_restrict=1 What a difference over stock! Crazy bright, but with great cutoff and no blinding of...
  7. 9-5 Workshop
    I'm really hoping you Saab experts can help me out. I have a new to me 2004 9-5 Arc. The headlights are driving me crazy! I have found very little information on my issue. Foremost I do not have Xenon high beams and am trying to diagnose. Secondly I also do not have flash to pass (H7...
  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi i have an 06 9-3 that came stock with the halogen head lights, last weekend i picked up a pair of head lights complete with HIDs. I swapped the headlights in and when the key is accessory (the turn before stating the car) the HIDs work fine, but when the car is on (running) the lights are...
  9. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello. This is my first post on here since buying my first Saab a few months ago. I have a 2006 9-3 Aero and recently the drivers side Xenon HID went out. I switched the igniters to make sure they were not bad before I purchased new bulbs. I just got the new bulbs today and tried them out and...
  10. 9-5 Workshop
    Hey guys, I have one Xenon (driver side) and one Halogen (Passenger Side) headlamp assembly installed on my '06. I am wanting to know if I remove the Xenon Assembly and dismantle it, are there plugs to install the halogen blubs? Basically I want to convert the Xenon assembly to Halogen. I plan...
  11. 9-5 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    Hey all! I have modified my Saab 9-5 to look awesome in daytime driving using parking lights and fog lights. It requires the tech2 instrument and cutting a wire, but it's worth it. No more forgetting the headlights on after leaving the car! Be sure to follow your local laws and regulations...
  12. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I've got an 04 9-3 Cabrio arc w/xenon headlights. After someone bcked into the bumper (hit and run) I replaced the bumper and brought it to a horrible bumper repair place called factory match bumper repair in San Diego who claimed he could make sure all the wires were in the right places...
  13. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello all. This would be my first post on Saabcentral after having frequented the Swedish Saab forums. I have started to shoot videos related to my Saab 9-5 Aero from 2002. I especially focus on things that I would have loved to know when I started working on the vehicle. Keep up with the...
  14. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi, i'm interested in a 2008 2 l turbo convertible with premium package. Car has as such HID xenons but has no wash sprayers on the front bumper. Is this normal ? I found this on 2 cars made in oct- nov 2007. Some others have the wash sprayers if they have xenons. I just want to be sure car had...
  15. 9-5 Workshop
    I picked up this car about six months ago. I immediately noticed that the headlights were two different "colors" of temperature: the driver side seems to be a bit warmer (more yellow) than my passenger side. While it was up on jack stands for an oil change today, I left the engine running. I...
  16. 9-5 Workshop
    I've been having my head lamps flicker on and off for sometime now on my 03 95 aero. Dual xenons. They will will flicker over larger bumps while driving, on takeoff when I let the clutch in or just idling at a stop light. I've also had a problem with the switch recently where the lights will...
  17. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have a '03 9.3 linear and my two inner bulbs in each assembly would not turn on, ever. The bi-xenon works fine and is on all the time but honestly IMO its barely lighting anything at night so I use my fog lamps or high beam (which is just the bi-xenon shining brighter). I checked the bulbs...
  18. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Before anyone hacks into me for not using the search function, let it be known that I've been there and done that. As far as I could tell no one has posted here before with this issue. I have an intermittent fault with the auto levelling function on my HID lights. Sometimes the lights will aim...
