I was at the junkyard looking for a tail light circuit board, and found a Saab with both 2003-07 headlamps with HID still in tact. Oh yeah I swiped them!
I added HIDs to my 06 2.0T and they worked for a while but now one works and one doesn’t. After switching them around they worked for a week but now one doesn’t work again lol. I saw a forum that the tech 2 can enable HID but my Saab mechanic said that wouldn’t work
It's been a while man, happy as always when I get the notice from your channel, good job keep it up, I thought this model of 9 3 was all Xenon tho?! I learned something new today, thanks
I have done it previous on a 2005 9-5, i Will not spend that type of money on this car. This is my Daily transporter from a - b as cheap as possible but in some sort of Style 😎 Thanks!

HI JONAS EXCELLENT VIDEOS I HAVE JUST GOT ONE OF THESE KITS FOR MY SAAB 9 3 2008 CAN YOU TELL ME WERE YOU PUT ALL THE RELAYS AND WIRING KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT VIDEOS REGARDS DAVE.
I was going a different route with going with xenon headlights someone told me they where plug and play but they didn’t turn on I had tech 2 but noticed they had a different pin out
I have a problem with my xenon lights, aftet instalation when i turn my car off lights tend to flicker for a bit, I don't know what to do... Do you have some advice?
I have researched this extenisvly and you can't put pin the plug n play hid kits due to the complicated canbus system on these cars. You have to buy very expensive manufactured hid kids specially for the types of canbus systems. It's the same for most modern bmw's and volvo's such as the 5 serises and the xc60. The specially manufactured systems cost around £150
For high beams, if you buy 9-3 halogen lamps for the 2nd generation of Saabs, then H7 will do, H4 will not work.They (H4) are suitable only for the first generation!!! And the dipped beam of regular xenon lamps will fit D1S for gen 2 of course.
@@JonasKakarikas My mistake! I mistook the 1.9l for a 2.8l! I never had any luck on my old 2005 with aftermarket kits so I converted it to the factory HIDs with the proper lamps from a donor car. (Then had a local shop with a tech 2 make the proper changes). Looks good!
Tack för bra filmer! Har en 9-3 1,8t och har bytt skyltbelysning bak till led. Den blinkar! Du sa att man ska sätta in ett relä så fixar det sig. Vilken sort och var? Hjälp! 👍😀
Varsågod 👍 finns på biltema, problemet är att hitta en placering för dom. Dom blir väldigt varma, jag har inte löst det än. Så jag kör med blinket, stör inte så mycket 😉
@@JonasKakarikas thank you. Your video is great. I order Ac xenon kit and will try with Tech2. Or i will search for some canbus adapters. Hope they will work. Thank you again
Hey Jonas do you think this will work with my 06 9-3 2.0T ? I tried the Led route and they flicker even when the car is off and locked. Also tried using decoders and didn’t work. Thinking about taking the HID route like you but without any luck haven’t found many others who’ve done it to my year car, although I know that the “newer” ones are basically the same. Thanks in advance let me know any advice !
Tjena, Tror detta kittet är utan, men kopplade på "problemlösare" dock funkar det inte alla gånger. Ibland plingar det till halvljus ur funktion, men dom funkar hela tiden.
@@JonasKakarikas Intressant. Många säger att kit från Ebay är av sämre kvalité? Hur funkade detta kit för dig? Jag funderar själv på att köpa från Xenonkungen, de har nämligen bra garanti och kundservice. Vad hade du för Kelvin på dessa, jag missade det i videon.
Köper man kit av AC typ så brukar dom vara bra. Det är inte rekommenderat att man xenon konverterar ng9-3 så jag tror inte xenonkungen har några garantier som Täcker det. Man får felmeddelande vid uppstart men ljuset funkar som det ska och blinkar ej osv
@@JonasKakarikas Körde du 4300k? Jag har ju halogen nu och vill ha vitare ljus, står emellan 4300k å 5000k... Skulle du säga att 4300k är mycket vitare än halogen?
Filip Anderson, can you recommend any good LED bulbs because there is a lot of junk out there? Jonas, didn't mean to hijack your video because I really enjoy your work.....especially the rear diffuser upgrade. By the way, do you know if an oem Aero diffuser can be fabbed like the Ebay diffuser you installed?
@@saab9-351 Not necessary if you use it in low beam they will flicker when you turn off the car for a few seconds then they shut off.

Thanks, it strapt up between The battery and fender on one side and between The light and airbox on The other side
Go for Philips x-treme vision 130+ insted. Longer lifetime then Osram. I have Philips in my 9-3 NG and its gives better light
Xeon bulbs are expensive and osram is the og brand when it comes to bulbs in saab so it's better to be safe than sorry
ah I have a 2005 ARC and I have parking lights in my front bumper and a H7 set up...
loving this videos bro beautiful saab
Thanks 😁
I want to convert my 2006 9-3.
Do you get error message that both low beam lights are out?
Yes
I was going a different route with going with xenon headlights someone told me they where plug and play but they didn’t turn on I had tech 2 but noticed they had a different pin out
To bad, Otherwise that would be a Great option 👍
I have a problem with my xenon lights, aftet instalation when i turn my car off lights tend to flicker for a bit, I don't know what to do... Do you have some advice?
There are some problem solvers you could install, i think they are named canbus cancellers or something like that

Surprised you had Halogens from the factory... Here in Canada any AEROs or TurboX models usually came with the HIDs installed from the factory.
This is a Linear from factory thats why 👍 Hard to see Now though 😉

Thats The correct way to do it, well done 👍
Hi Jonas brilliant video one question tho do you need headlight washers on the bumper for Xenon Lights ?
To have it legal in Sweden you need height sensors the front/back and also high pressure washers.
@@JonasKakarikas thanks a million for the reply keep up the videos they are excellent
Can you tell us where you got the parts? Particularly the new wiring harness and switch for fog lamps? Thanks very much.
Ebay.co.uk
So with no auto-height light-adjustment on the car you can't get the car through yearly SBP control with Xenon light, or has this changed recently ?
No you are correct, just passed inspection last week :)
What about the self levelling system that are needed on cars whit HID?
Its not legal this way 👍
What does speed the same kind of process in a 2008
Tack för bra filmer! Har en 9-3 1,8t och har bytt skyltbelysning bak till led. Den blinkar! Du sa att man ska sätta in ett relä så fixar det sig. Vilken sort och var? Hjälp! 👍😀

Tack för svar. Det får väl bli så, Ha de. 😀
Koppla det via relä till helljuset
How did you get the clip for the fog light harness to open.... Mine seems like it's going to break
If it wont release use some lubrication spray and some heat. It should be to big of a problem
Just installed HID's on my 07 9-3. Question where did you hide the ballast?
How’d it go ? Did you need to get a tech 2 to get rid of any warning lights on the dash ?
U need to clear it at every startup. I dont have The car anymore 😉
How did you get your lights to stop "blinking" a couple of times after stopping your engine? My headlights keep doing that after conversion.
I have not done anything special, it just works.
I have the same problem, have you solvde yours if so pleas respond to me... Thanks in advance!
@@vojindragosavljevic4873 no, still havent gotten a fix. Did you get any luck?
@@JonasKakarikas cool.. whats the brand of kits you used?
Also, did you consider LED instead of Xenon? If so, why did you go with xenon? Thanks.
No, i did xenon mainly because a had kits laying around :)
@@JonasKakarikas Thanks!
jag tänkte montera Led i helljuset i morrn. vad tror du om det? dom är ju bara på 21 watt st
Vet ju inte vad för typ av led du har eller vilken bild, men det är inte lätt att få dit då dom bygger en del bakåt

New Button for The foglights 👍
Xenon globes are very expensive and don't have a good life span. Not good all round. LED on the other hand are the total opposite.
F.Y.I Aero Spec came with factory Xenon's.
Just buy some decent led bulbs instead they will be just as good if not better than HID and they will fit without any mods
