Having said that, There seems to be a design flaw in the lamp failure warning system of both the 9-3 and the 9-5 that causes one headlight to fail - It happened to me and a number of others on this group. It's a Hella design fault rather than a Saab one, but it's still annoying that Saab continued to fit what they almost certainly knew was an unreliable part for anything up to three years - They may even still be fitting it in fact... Cheers, Colin.
