Thanks for the extra information about the Lamp Controller. Just changed the bulb on my 1997 900 and no joy. Checked the fuses and swapped them round with no joy. The previous bulb would occasionally come on and the other side is working fine so will try jiggling the Lamp Controller next.
Hey man doubt you’ll ever see this but just wanted to say thanks like everyone else. Perfect vid that clarifies a basic task that might seem more intimidating than it really is.
Thx , this Vidoe helped me , nice to see you Yanks doing something Constructive.
Now on the the back break Mid strip .
Have a Nice Day now .
Big help dude.
this video would have been more helpful had the bulb change been done on the car and not on a workbench …
Dan, well done! Every time I’ve had to do this I review your video. Never can remember which way to turn cover and release the clip. Thanks!
Thank you for the video, just saved $15 (that’s how much pep boys would charge).
Thank you
thank you, much clearer i knew there was a retaing ring but i couldn’t figure out how to open it….also i have a rear running tail light that doesn’t seem to work even after i changed the light bulb and also i checkrd it with another modual for the bulbs could it be a fuse or relay? and also my signal s don’t make any sound when i put them on any ideas? thanks again for this video.
Thank you!!
Thanks to you I was able to change the bulb myself and not remove the headlight which I was afraid I had to do. Thanks a lot!!
Dear Dan, It was not at all obvious to me how to remove the retaining clip….your video made it clear. It was getting dark and I needed that headlight. Thanks for saving the day!
thank you . I wish you were in the burbank area
Thanks, Dan. You’ve saved me money too. I could see the spring holding in the bulb, but in the Saab, with such limited space to move and to see, you can’t properly work. I’d even considered removing the battery just to get space to see why won’t this ***kin’ spring come out. I pulled it and turned it and squeezed it every which way. Why won’t it come out. How would you know the combo of actions needed? The manual just said remove the spring without telling you how! Chrissakes!
simple on a bench.. Great help thanks..
Thanks Dan!
Muchas gracias!!
I’m new to the Saab story and your video was just in time. One of my headlights just went out. I now have the courage to replace both bulbs myself. Any videos you can add would be helpful
I have an 04 Saab 9-5 and the passenger light went out. Changed the bulb and now the both are out. Any suggestions?
Thank you Peter. I spent an hour before giving up and looking online for help. After seeing your video I was finished in 5 minutes. What a great help! Thanks again!
Thanks Peter. I changed both headlamps in less than 5 minutes on my 2000 9-3 after watching your helpful video. You rock!
Thanks again,
Laura
Thanks for the tutorial. Hope to see more tips soon. By the way, is it safe to guess the “Z” instead of “S” is for legal purposes? Thanks again.
Thank you! I just successfully changed both headlights on my new 1999 Saab 93 C. You’re one of the reasons YouTube rules.
Thank you for your comment, I’m glad to hear that I could save you money, look for more tips in the future.
Dude, you just saved me $90! I couldn’t figure out what was holding in the bulb until I saw you remove the tab… I had given up and called a Saab dealership and they said it would cost me an absurd NINETY dollars… Thanks again!
