absolutely no doubt that e codes are better than DOT headlamps. that being said, a few caveats apply:
(1)don't know where you got your lamp, but, saab e codes come in either right hand or left hand drive. lamps specific to the UK or other right hand drive countries will have a left hand upward tail that can cause glare for oncoming drivers in left hand drive countries.
(2)as far as i know, there are no other US sources for e code lamps. probably because they are not approved by DOT for use on US roads, so technically, installing them on your car is illegal. i bought mine from the saabsite. i consider their prices a bargain compared with sourcing the units from europe. they don't come with the adjustment motors so i sourced those from a couple of used units i purchased on ebay UK. i also purchased the lamp level adjustment switch from the same sources altho i've noticed that they are occasionally available on ebay US. other possible sources would be ebay germany or scan tech of sweden. of course it helps if you speak the languages.
(3)wiring the headlamp adjustment feature is a pain.
