At least for the North American market. In the old world side marker lights and cornering lights were illegal in most countries... Imported north American cars used to have to be adapted before being issued a license plate. But the later model 9K with the flatter nose has a smaller turning signal unit, all orange in NA (and for European spec. models from 95 onward all white). It seems that these have been made also with a backup light integrated, but this was maybe only sold into certain markets, in Holland I'm sure that was never legal, maybe in scandinavian countries it was... Check out this picture on the dutch SAAB forum to see what I mean: http://www.nospam.nl/viewtopic.php?p=157485&highlight=#157485 So any readers from the scandinavian aerea out here that can shed a light on this?
