My 97's headlights, despite being 'fabled' E codes are erm.. lame.
I get out of wife's car and by comparison my Saab's lights seem like candle lanterns. In fairnesss the the major/objectionable difference is in the low beams. High beams, while still not as bright or penetrating are useable.
Have heard of substituting a fresh Hi beam bulb into the low bulb socket, after a moments work on the bulb receptacle.
Having seen melted plastic Saab reflectors. Not eager to try that one.
Also heard tales (of unknown accuracy) that Xenons generate serious heat as well as significant amp draws during their warm up phase.
Again, not keen on risking melted reflectors.
Anyone have 'real' info on this?
