Replacing the Rear Headlamp Bulb

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

Open the rear bonnet and unclip the side trim panel to access the bulbs of the rear light. Then unclip the bulb holder (without removing the light unit) and replace the blown bulb (it can be identified as it generally becomes darker and you can check for a broken internal filament). These bulbs have a so-called bayonet fitting: to remove them, simply press and twist. If you want to remove the light unit, unscrew the three securing nuts and pull it out of its housing by pulling it backwards. Finally, reattach the bulb holder and reposition the trim panel.

How to Change the H7 Headlight Bulb on an Audi A3

When replacing the front headlight bulbs, choosing the right bulbs is certainly the first hurdle to overcome: halogen, blue white light, xenon, or LED. Once you have made your choice, installing the new bulb can be done without removing the headlight. Simply open the front bonnet, locate the protective cap of the bulb holder, and press on the corresponding latch to remove it. Then grasp the bulb's power connector and pull it out along with the bulb itself, disconnect the connector, fit the new bulb, and press it into its seat until it clicks into place.
