How do you change the front head light bulb on your 2002 Saab 9-3?

Answer 1

If you will start this project by looking at the electrical connector with an inspection mirror first, you will save yourself some real headaches. There is a single wire finger that needs to be moved out of the way, basic needle nose pliers will do it easy. Once you move this wire, an easy twist and the lamp assembly will practically fall out in your hand. Before you remove the lamp, look at how it is oriented, because it needs to go back in the same way. There are some lugs that should prevent you from installing it incorrectly, but I've seen some people try to 'force' the lamp to fit and twist back into place, and it won't. If you go ahead and jamb it in wrong, then it will not ground properly and the center point of the lamp is in the wrong place, so this headlamp will not seem to work just right,,, but you won't know why. It's 'on' but not like it used to be.
