The main beam on my 2004 9-3 Aero Conv is like a searchlight but the dip beam is as much use as a tea light in a hurricane. Short of going for a full upgrade to HiD can anyone recommend a way of improving the dip beam performance. Headlights themselves are perfect with no damage to the...

Hi, I currently drive a 2003 Saab 9-3 and have some issues with my headlights. Due to the low functionality of original headlights, I decided to change my headlights to HID (probably 2 years ago). Recently, I've been entering some issues with my headlights. This issue happens specifically...

2004 9-5 2.0T Vector Automatic Estate Main Beam won't stay on. When I've the headlights on, and pull the stalk to put main beam on, the main beam lights come on, but as soon as I let go the stalk they go off again. The stalk doesn't "latch". Is this likely to be the stalk or a relay?
