Hi,

How can I tell if my 2004 9-3 Aero has xenon head lights? I know they self-level when turning on the car.

Thx,
Dan

You can light up the road like a 747 airplane going down a runway:lol:

If your headlight switch has 3 manual settings for headlamp level running counter clockwise from midnight to 9 0'clock you are running candle-power, if not then welcome to the world of gas !

Xenon lights

When a headlight bulb burns out, they tell you it's going to be $180 to replace it. (Sorry, that's just me voicing my jealousy.)

This could play out to be the rich man's version of "you might be a *******"...

heheh, my father can beat your father

Did you have to pay 150 EUR for the replacement bulb ?

Try the High Beams - You'll Know then!!

Trust me.

Hit the high beams at night and you will know if you have the Xenons

Ok now I'm really confused. I have the 2003 Linear Launch package. I know my headlights are awesome. I often wondered why anyone would pay extra for Xeons with the stock lights that are this good. But now I'm reading that I may have Xeons. My head light switch goes clockwise from 12 - 3 o'clock. Not the 12 - 9 like the one listed here. Does this confirm Xeons in my vehicle?

Thanks
Scott

What does the linear launch package for the '03 consist of? My switch goes from 12-3 as well but I'm still iffy if I have Xenon's or not...they look as if they are but I haven't actually looked at them in detail to see if they are regular or xenon beams.

I believe the Linear Launch Package Includes:

- Auto dimming Mirror
- Garage Door Opener (3 Buttons)
- Compass
- Xenon Lights - Self Adjusting
- Saab Infotainment
- 6 Disc Changer
- Auto Climate Control - Dual Zone w/ rear vent
- Powered Driver Seat
- Front / Rear Fog Lights
- Heated Seats
- Sunroof

My Linear also has 5 spoke hubs, low profile tires, painted body moldings. Whether or not that is part of the package, I am not sure as I bought the car used. I may have missed a couple of items as well.

HTH -

My launch package included the following
Front Fog Lights
Powered Driverseat
Heated seats (both)
Infortainment unit
Sunroof
16in wheels
6 disc CD

I was not aware of any other features such as the xeon lights.

pretty sure I don't have the launch package even though I have front fogs, sunroof, 16" wheels...

Guess I'll do more research tonight...anyway I can look my VIN up and see all the added features, carfax doesn't help much for this purpose.

Linear Launch package

If I remember right, you need the touring package to get the xenons. This also had the autodimming mirror and maybe sport rims? If your lights auto level (i.e. move down and up) when you start the car, you have the xenons. They are also blue looking off to the side, or make things look slightly blue at times.

Launch Package .........Touring Package (Automatic Climate Control, Bi-Xenon Headlights, Auto Dimming Interior Mirror with Compass and Integrated Garage Door Opener)

Thanks for the clarification. Guess I have the Touring Package.
