I have had recurring problems with lights, both headlights and taillights constantly blowing on my 2001 9-5 wagon. Right after I bough the car I had to replace the headlight bulbs, later on it was the tail light(left), then the right and so on. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the bulbs, not cheap bulbs(under warranty). I tried later replacing both bulbs in pairs when they blew as suggested by the dealer, problem continued. Right now I have, again, the right rear light message illuminated. I recently had to replace my battery, related? I don't know. Does anyone know wether this is some sort of factory defect that maybe I missed or that Saab has not admitted to? I have heard other Saab owners say they have had problems with lights blowing. Car is now out of warranty. May be expensive to repair. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks,
