It is a SAAB... you know - the poeple that put the ignition on the floor with a manual gearbox interlock, a clamshell hood, logitudinally mounted engine with the output shaft in the front, while stacked on top of the gearbox. In short, the engineering of the classic 900's and 99's is unlike any other car in the world. Everything is done, for a relatively good reason - appreciate it. Also, the headlamps are tied to the ignition switch. So, one could leave the lights in the on position at all times, and not have to worry about things. [Statistically speaking, you are safer in the daytime with your lights on.] When you're done driving your pony, turn the ignition off, and your lights will be off also. You'll never have to worry about the lights being off again. So, again, your concern was rather petty. One more try eh? Done? Fixed? Over? Good!
