Does it realy cost £250 each to replace? This seems extremely high considering what the whole Xenon kit with housings, electronics, level sensors, high/low beam shield with actuators, Xenon bulbs, and everything else needed, costs about £400 when ordering a new 9-5. As Osram gives the life of these lamps to 2000 hours, just four times that of an Osram H7 lamp, I find it unbelievable that the Xenon lamp bulbs would cost £250 each to replace, but I guess that anything could happen in the automobile industry... I have put some hard numbers about H7 lamps in my own Saab 9-5 FAQ. < http://www.nospam.com/saab/faq.shtml#lamps > < http://www.nospam.com/saab/faq.shtml#xenon > If anyone has more information about the life, care, and cost of Xenon lampsm then please post it. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com
