Hello, just after some advice, I am looking to upgrade my h7 halogen headlights using an aftermarket morimoto HID kit. I have a 9-3 MY2010 (facelift model with “eyebrows” on the headlights). Has anyone done this without using a tech 2 to change to “xenon mode”. I am wondering if there is a...

I have an issue with no power going to the lead for the zenon on the passenger side. Drivers side lights are fine I have swapped the bulbs, ballasts, and ignighters with the drivers side and all components are good. All Fuses are good. This leads me to believe it is the relay R-14 on the engine...

Hi All. I'm looking to buy a set of after market HID's. I know that I want 55w/6000k. The question is, can anyone suggest a good kit? I have been told by various people that VVME do a good kit. Do I need to be looking for any type of ballast. e.g. Digital, Canbus, slim? Any thoughts welcome.

Hey guys, I bought a H7 HID kit the other day for my 93, I decided to have a trial fit for the time being until I can tidy up the wires and ballast properly, here are the results though! Yes I know it makes my normal sidelight bulbs terrible! Has anyone else done this to theirs? I don't get any...

Hi all, first post so I apologise in advance if I have done anything wrong or stupid. As I said I have recently bought a Saab 93 - 1.9 TiD 07 plate Anniversary Vector Sport. Along with a lot of people on here I have noticed how poor the dipped beam is with halogens. I have had and fitted...

Howdy, ya'll! I've made a bunch of "How To" videos for my 2006 9-3 and posted them on YouTube in the hope that they could help others who are having similar problems or issues with their cars. I thought I'd share them here, if that's OK with the moderators. These aren't professional-type videos...

Waiting on an HID kit from DDM Tuning and tried having my Daytime Running Lights turned off at the dealer today. Was told that it cannot be done on the 2011 9-3. I believe they are on a sensor and kick on and off depending on the daylight, however I was surprised to hear that there is no...

Hi, thought this may be of interest to some other owners that have HID's and are looking for replacement bulbs ? Over the last few months my head lights (HID) have started to take on a Pinky / Purple tinge and seem to switch themselves on and off from time to time as I'm driving. After reading...
