I have spent a lot of time chasing down miscellany for my '93 9000 CSE. One such task was trying to identify the twist socket that the W5W bulbs fit into for the third brake light. The whole assembly is made by Valero and there are a couple of copper or brass strips that deliver current to the 4 bulbs via the twist sockets. My sockets were so heavily corroded that I decided to find replacements. Based on what I found, they appear to be T10 twist sockets but have the contacts have two points of contacts (top and bottom) vs bottom contact only that many T10 twist sockets have. As a reference, the sockets I removed have an OD for the base that slips in the hole of 12.8mm, the OD of the base ring is 17.5mm. I do not have a SAAB p/n but believe BMW p/n's 63258389736 63250391729 are for the same part. I ended up getting some from AliExpress for a few dollars, feeling they will be a big improvement over what I had. Will let you know if they don't fit.
