An alternative solution to the ‘red bulbs problem’:
Keep your bulb holders from your 03-07 rear lights and fit these instead:

❗❗❗ IMPORTANT: the ice block lights DO NOT have a rear reflector like the older red lights, so you will need to fit a rear red reflector below the lights on the bumper. The facelift 9-3 has reflectors in the rear diffuser ❗❗❗ This is an MoT item in UK and no doubt an inspection item elsewhere.

What about face lift for the front part of saab 93 is there any ideas.. I have 2004 model which I still takecare of it ..thanks in advance
Interesting!
Now, unless those bulbs are already buggered, you don't want to put your fingers on'em. Use gloves of a kleenex or anything to avoid putting your fingers directly in contact with the glass part of the bulb.
Is that another Aero you've aquired there Cyd?
I just Sold My 2003 93 aero about 3 weeks ago
Love your videos.
Great video and I didn't know about the different bulb holders. I have a tip about the rear foglights, mine was driver's side only and I noticed the passenger side was wired so I put in a second bulb (mine only had one bulb not two) and now both sides work. I only mention this because I didn't know and wanted others to know that might not. Thanks for all the tips and content.
I use silver bulbs in my 9-3 -05 for a cleaner look. the red reflectors are enough and you do not need extra in the bumper. I live in Sweden and have had this for over 14 years
I ended up fitting an old bulb holder to a newer 9-3 and found out about the bulb holder after fitting it. My solution is to use my bench grinder to grind 1 pin off the red bulbs I have and it holds the bulb securely just with 1 pin. The modern bulb holders were about £40 on ebay at the time, while the one I got from a scrappy was £10 so wasn't worth it to go for the right one for me.
Nice one Cyd thanks for the video
