Information that might help........ Posted by Herb Hirsch [Email] (#114) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Herb Hirsch) on Sat, 19 Jul 2008 08:12:14 In Reply to: Headlight lens replacement!, Blake, Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:21:01 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The Saab EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog) for the 2003 9-5 shows the headlight assembly as one integrated unit. A replaceable lens is not available. The headlight lenses were replaceable for model years 1999-2001 only.
The lens replacement you wish to undertake will require some ingenuity. Do a search on "lens replacement" on the 9-5 BB. There are 65 posts there; hopefully, you'll find an answer.
Examination on my wife's 2004 9-5 ARC appears that the lens is glued to the housing. If so you'll have to use something like a Dremel tool with a cutting blade. Then, find suitable glue for installing the new lenses.
As a safety measure, you could try a junk yard for a 2002-2005 9-5 headlight assembly to practice/learn on. Or, just go for broke with the attendant risk.
