No not really. I think its more to do with worn synchros. A gear oil change with new correct oil is probably a better option.

Yes i think its just red, one of the thick ones.

Its a Crescent Virgo, early model. Nice boat, I like the cockpit, size and hull. Perfect for Nordic climate.

Headlights, some interior parts, springs, shocks, suspension arms, some electric stuff, all kinds of bolts and hardware. Some used stuff, like doors and hoods.

It’s a nice experience and atmosphere, and people coming so far to attend. All along the west cost you can spot the Saabs coming from other countries traveling towards Trollhattan. :)

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, did a paint correction myself, got most of the swirl marks away, just takes so much time and patience. Then ceramic coated it, then I should maybe wax it to give it the final gloss. So it looks fairly good now, especially in the shade on camera. But it’s a 18 year old car with 353.000km, so if you look closer it’s far from perfect, but good enough for me :)

What do you need help with?

​@@jobathano1660 it seemes that you know a thing or two about 9-3's. Just wanted to have a chat as a enthusiast to a enthusiast.

@@jobathano1660 im going to buy one in a week , it says water in the fuel on the dash does that mean walk away

Thanks for sharing

No

Yes

Yes, I have done it earlier.

What would you call it then?

@@jobathano1660 why you peaple look on outside all the time? fenders and all visible body most is esay repleceable, you fight for few rust bublles, in reality underside can be completly rotten breaking car in half while visible pristine. that rust is nothing

I think drivers have gotten more used to it or lights like this. In 2016 a lot of people would flash because it maybe looked stronger, even though not blinding like with a regular highbeam :)

No not many, but last time I was looking into it I could not find any. So seems to be some ok options now :)

Yes they do, not really tried any modern led bulb that is weak. But this is not overly bright like many bulbs.

@@jobathano1660thanks for your reply and honesty! Well I’ve been on an led frennzzyy to say the least lately and I’ve found some interesting option and uses for them. My primary reason for even wanting to replace my license plates lights was because I have a sound system which draws a lot of power and causes dimming of all the lights and it’s a visual eye sore especially at night time. How I found to counter act this problem and mask the issue is by implementing the use of led bulbs in place of the Oem halogen . But not just any ordinary led, this includes osram& Philips, they are insignificant for my purpose, which is sad since they do provide some of the cleanest warm color temperatures that I’m after without being overly bright, which is the opposite of what most people seem to be after lol. I hate the super bright led look especially in a future classic car that never had any such equipment! The problem i found in my testing this last week with osram/philips bulbs was they are lacking the fundamental component inside them which a lot of other cheapo led bulbs actually do come with, I was just as surprised as you might be once you are made aware of this, they don’t have what’s called an “ Ic “. This ic is basically a current regulator chip that works on a wide range of voltages spanning from like 6volts-24volts. What it means is the light bulbs light output remains constant no matter if you are supplying it with 12v or 24v. These types of bulbs are perfect for what i was after. The only issue with them is they are extremely bright so what I did is basically point it 180degree in the opposite direction to where the heat sink is nearly pointing toward the ground in the case of the license plate lights and I’m able to achieve a near perfect illumination😁 actually depending on how much I rotate the bulb in the housing gives me a large window of output to set it at. And with meter I’ve actually set them to be just a tad dimmer than what the halogen bulbs were outputting so that way the copper got to really squint to read my plates or that Karen who’s trying to see me behind bars 😂 sorry this was so long but it could help someone who sits thru this mumbojumbo as I wish i had someone tell me this sooner I could have saved a month of trials* and tribulations 😂😂😂😂

Yes I get your point. There is a point where leds started to get too bright, applies to headlight bulbs as well. I don’t like them too bright either. Bulbs with a constant current regulator is better, as you say the output stays the same :) I think it will make the led last longer, but I guess rest of the components die first instead.

Yes, they are good for what they are and price. I always just change before inspection :)

But isn't an aftermarket xenon a fail too?

Yes I want to try that.

If you’re going to do that, keep in mind that it’s recommended to choose high-quality film with self-healing properties and to have it installed by a professional to ensure it’s applied without bubbles or wrinkles that could affect light transmission, in order for your experiment to be fair.

Yes.

I have not used it to much because of engine problems, so not so much mechanical wear. But put the boat back in today, still looks like when it was installed.

Yes I think so.

Bought the car like that, probably parked in a small garage or something.

de origineel nederlandse autos hebben die lampjes niet. mogelijk zit er een andere kabelboom bij en kun je deze dus niet werkend krijgen. heeft iets met wetgeving te maken.

The headlights are brand new is this problem with headlights newer model or bulbs thanks

What kind of car is it?

Thanks, no problem. I just find these things interesting for some reason :)

My Saab never breaks down, but for people with other cars this is a must ;)

No I did not, just loosened the radiator and condenser from the mounts to get more room, so the lines for the ac was still connected. So my ac still works.

Yes looks good with white light :) just installed the incandescent for the video, this car have never seen incandescent bulbs 😅

Then you need an extra canbus adapter in between. Or do you have a Saab?

​@@jobathano1660I got 03 9-3 Aero with xenon lights, will this led flicker when car is off or no, or I have to ad an adapter or something?

The best option is to delete the bulb watch system with software, but it costs around 100$. Either from speedparts or maptun. But it’s the only good solution on these cars.

Yes I could have filmed it better. Basically you have a wire harness in your door, for speakers, window controls etc. if you don’t have these lights, you have a extra connector not connected to anything on the passenger side, you just plug the harness add-on into that connector. On the driver side, you have an add-on harness connected into that connector, because it goes to the door lock switch. But there is no loop and connector for the light, so you need to swap it with the new one. If confused, you will see it directly when taking it apart.

Just learning by doing. Tack så mycke. Hej do.@@jobathano1660

Yes it seems to be better here on the west coast, Alingsås, Falkenberg and Helsingborg. I don’t know about any other self service junkyards in Sweden, but I like Delplocken, good prices. It depends on what you want to do with your car I guess, but if you are not changing ride height, I think many recommend Sachs, and I think they are the OEM replacement.
