I didn't think I would have so many options...
One of the cool blue headlights went out and needs replacement.
Whats my best option? Which one is the exact OEM replacement?

Thanks,

Soooo much more help could be given putting your model year here.

My Saabs: 9-3 AERO 2.8T

Never thought I had too since its on the right hand side...even though I have indicated it in the past.

My bad.

In 2008 when they updated the exterior they went to D1S xenon bulbs. Prior to that they were D2S. So yes, model year can be somewhat important info.

So what is the closest to the OEM model in the D1S?

 

[Diggs]

Here you go. 4500k is closest color to OEM.

Awesome, thank you.

Does Rockauto or another source sell these for less or that is the going rate?

Maybe, but this site sells good bulbs, not cheap junk.

 

[guichet]

Cheap junk never goes far. I want to buy them once (until they actually burn out). Not because a million hours are specified and they only last a year.

Diggs,

Can I use any D1S model xenon, regardless of the wattage or lumens?

Thanks for your help.
