This is an actively updated list of light bulbs used in my 2000 SAAB 9-5. Some of these bulbs might be different for a newer 9-5. I’m linking this post in the side bar so it is easy to find and I will continue to update it as I get more information. I will also post instructions on how to replace these bulbs and link each post to this page.

How do you replace the front turn signal amber bulb?
ReplyDeleteOn the '99-'03 models at least, you'll want to lift the hood and there is one screw that is now exposed on the top of the side marker (kind of next to the top of the headlight lenses). Unscrew it and pull the entire side marker lens out towards the front of the car. You'll now have access to the back of the bulb sockets. They release with a twist and pull motion. The old bulb releases with a push, twist, then pull motion. Replace the bulb and install in reverse. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the light bulb under the hood located.
ReplyDeleteGood question, I don't know because mine doesn't have one. I don't know which ones had an under hood light... but it was included in a list of bulbs for the 9-5, so I assume some have it. If you're looking and not seeing it, then I would bet it isn't there.
