haha! gotta love it! now I'm missing the two front side grills (tabs broke during intake install), and the corner light cover. This car keeps me on my toes lol
@@mike325ci it fell off before, and I crazy glued it because that's what I had at the time. Seems like I need something stronger. Silicone might be best! 😀
I did not see that you would retrofit the two height adjustment sensors - one on the front right and one on the rear right. The xenons are self leveling automatically based on the readings of those sensors.
When you do this swap, does the headlight level controller on the dashboard still direct the lights up and down? My estate has this for when the load at the back of the car gets heavy, this little dial can help realign the headlights forward when the car is tilting back a little.
I love this series so much. Makes me want to get an old project Saab to relive my old 9-3 days
Thanks Trevor! Go for it, it's so much fun!! 😀

Huh? 🙃
The video is very useful. Thank you so much!
Thanks, my pleasure!
Thx - I'll do this on our 08 9-5t!!!
Always better for the light cover to fall off in your hand...vs on the road. XD

@@BWTECH0521 yes they do. Definitely a labor of love that requires a thick skin.
@@BWTECH0521 lol i was wondering what happened to the side marker covers. glue them back with clear silicone?

Yes, those are hard to find and not worth the trouble IMO so I decided to skip it haha
I think the halogen lights ruin the whole car tbh, great upgrade!
Agreed! The projectors make the car look more modern for sure!

That function does not work for this method, no sensors in the car 😭. Also, in the states, I don't think we ever got manual leveling headlights.
Same thing on 9-3s?
Not sure, never tried 🤔
Great video. What year did those came out of?
Thanks Al! They came out of an 04 I think
@@BWTECH0521 they look way better than the LED bulbs that I’ve put on mine
