Why do 9K fog lights have to be so difficult?

The blasted design was so poor - the lousy, flimsy spring clips have to make good contact or they won't work. They get rusty and don't make contact for a ground - what were they thinking? My 97 9K CSE is on it's second pair of these from Saab and they are now just as rusty as the first one. First of all, if you want to just replace the bulbs, they are so hard to even get at just to do that! Then if you want to replace the assembly - good luck with that! The bolts are so hard to get at - you'll fight with that...HOWEVER, when they are working they light up the road extremely well and out of all my 6 Saabs owned currently and over 20+ years of exclusive Saab ownership, the 9K is still the most wonderful car to drive - nothing like it, but again, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WITH THE FOG LIGHTS???? I have found that putting a sheet metal screw through the little plastic door to make contact on the metal of the bulb base and keep it secure and grounded keeps them working longer - Just had to vent...I really do love the cars!
