I've seen this too on another 9-3. I think the fix is to splice another connector onto the wires. I suspect that it's just one more part of the running too hot thing.
I think the bulb brand makes no difference. If Saab could have fixed it that way, it's hard to imagine they would have fooled with the software.
I'm assuming the indys that have a tech2/candi box can do the update too, the techs on here can answer that. A lot cheaper. I'd be slightly uncomfortable running the PWM all the time on the headlamp for less voltage. It probably wasn't designed with that in mind and I bet that module is a lot more expensive than a bulb!
Just shut off the DRLs if it really annoys you.
