1. Since Saabs never break down at night we don't need an under hood light.

2. If you still have the crescent shaped sytro in the spare compartment it should have combo-driver with 3 torx heads and a flat blade on two inserts.
that's the "built-in" kit.

3. Everyone seems happy with Silver Stars. I have Osram's - same thing, less money, 55/60 on the watts. Strongly recommend against using hi-watt bulbs. Reason; plastic reflectors in the headlight assembly and tiny wiring to the bulbs.

4. Headlights will always be shut down when key is removed. Hazards are hot from the battery - always work when switch is depressed.

5. This will no doubt stir up the mud - I recommend flushing the engine with Amsoil Engine Flush followed by Amsoil Series 2000 0W-30 and an Amsoil filter part no. SDF57. I've been using their products for 25 years - always the best you can get. Also, recommend their 2-stage foam air filter model TS88. Others will rant about Mobil 1 oil, pick your flavor.

6. The combo cupholder/changeholder insert is very cool. 1. You don't spill drinks into your SID and cd player and 2. The way cool insert sticks to your travel mug so when you go into any establishment you can provide change for up to about ten bucks. Yes, your friends and neighbors will be amazed at all this car can do!

Lastly, on the off chance you still have some warranty time left, do a search for "headgasket" and "air distribution box" for possible problems
that seem rather common. Put fresh NGK plugs in and gap them to 0.9mm.
Others will jump in and offer more. Good Luck and welcome to the world of turbos.
