"HID headlight bulbs (optional on cer-
tain U.S. models)High-intensity-discharge (HID) bulbs are used
for the low beams of the headlights. These HID
bulbs use an extremely high voltage. To avoid
the risk of an electric shock and resulting seri-
ous injury, you should not attempt to replace
them. Neither should you attempt to replace the
high-beam bulbs, remove/refit the headlight as-
semblies, or remove any headlight-assembly
components. For replacement of the headlight
bulbs (low-beam and high-beam), removal and
installation of the headlight assemblies, and re-
moval of headlight-assembly components,
contact your Saab dealer.
Ask your Saab dealer to check whether your ve-hicle is equipped with HID headlights. Wattage Bulb No.

"Halogen headlight bulbs (U.S./CA-
models equipped with HID low beam
bulbs)Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while
in use. If you touch the bulb surface with bare
hands or greasy gloves, finger prints or grease
on the bulb surface will develop into hot spots
and cause the bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface, wipe them
away with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
Ask your Saab dealer to check whether your ve-hicle is equipped with HID headlights.NOTE!If headlight aiming is required, consult your
Saab dealer for proper adjustment of the headlight
aim.
