Instructions for Removing the Front Headlamp

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Headlight

Open the front bonnet and ensure it is securely supported. Then, detach the front trim from the bumper by pulling it forward; similarly, unclip the side air intakes. Remove the battery cover to unclip the retaining tab of the side light and extract it from its housing. At this point, unscrew the fixing screws of the headlamp to remove it (one is located in the side air intake area).
After completing the repair on the headlamp, reverse the process for reassembly by correctly reattaching the grilles and the side light.
