Replacement of Front Headlight Bulb

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Headlight bulb

In this guide, to describe the operations more clearly, the headlight was completely removed from the vehicle and placed on the workbench. Once the headlight is disassembled, remove the rear protective cap by turning it to the left (counter-clockwise) until you hear a click, then pull it out towards the opposite side of the headlight. At this point, disconnect the connector attached to the bulb and the retaining clips of the bulb itself, which can then be extracted. Insert the new bulb (the mounting position is fixed), secure the retaining clips, and reconnect the corresponding connector. Finally, reposition the cap and remount the headlight on the vehicle.
