This video tutorial shows how to replace the headlight on the Saab 9-3 produced from 2003 to 2007. To replace the headlight, first remove the upper clips of the bumper, then remove the lower clips located closer to the headlight that needs replacing, and take out the three screws from the wheel arch.

Once all clips and screws are removed, grasp the bumper from the wheel arch cover, pull it outwards to detach it, and also remove it from under the headlight to access the headlight and its screws.

Now, using a 10 mm spanner, remove the lower screw and the upper screws of the headlight. Once the screws are removed, gently pull the headlight out to remove the indicator support using a flat screwdriver of 5 mm. At this point, extract the old headlight, connect the new one, insert it into place, and screw all the headlight screws back in. Refit the bumper and screw all the bumper screws and clips back in. If both headlights need replacing, it is advisable to completely remove the car's bumper.
