Re: 04 xenon bulb replacement.

The difference is that the bulb and igniter comes apart with a twist and you replace the bulb only in the 9-3.
And you have to twist off the igniter before you can reach the clips behind that holds the bulb to headlight.
When you twist off the igniter it also kicks out the electric connector and you cannot get that connector back in until you have twisted the igniter back onto the bulb.
I almost tore my hair out the first time before I figured out that it was a little tab inside the igniter that stopped the electric connector to be hooked up until igniter and bulb was one unit again.
So as a reference, the 9-5 is a lot easier to do.
