Unless you are very skilled with a soldering iron... Posted by B Millar [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: What's the part number for the bulbs that go in the..., Calvin, Fri, 25 Jul 2008 12:15:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
...don't bother trying the Radioshack method. Somewhere between 1999 and 2001 Saab changed the bulb style a bit. They're interchangeable but rather than the wires wrapping around the base in 1999 (as pictured in the previous post) the 2001's are soldered in there. I got all excited when I saw that post and went out and bought the Radioshack bulbs. I pulled mine out and they were soldered. I tried un-soldering them but the black plastic just melts right into the mess once the solder is melted. I posted after my miserable experience and someone did say they were successful at replacing them in the 2001 but they had more soldering skills than I did. I found them at Genuine Saab, see link below. They're part number 5471065.
