Seems like its my turn for the drip, drip drip of niggling problems that often seem to beset Saabs...
Hot on the heels of a new self levelling sensor and strange noises from the front suspension, I noticed this morning that the nearside xenon has turned a fetching shade of pink! It was flickering a few days ago but then seemed to resolve itself but the colour change was very obvious when following a white van.
With my usual devastating insight, I'm assuming the bulb is bu**ered but thought I'd better check with the experts before swelling the coffers of my local dealer (again!).
I also did some research and found alternative suppliers for bulbs but have a couple of questions;
Is the bulb a D1S or a D1R?
Whats the best compromise between light output and colour? As I understand the higher the "K" the bluer the light but paradoxically the lower the output.
I'm more interested in being able to see than looking cool.
