Saab 9-3 Tail Light Bulb Change

This video demonstrates how to change a burnt out taillight bulb on your Saab 9-3. Some of the other bulbs in the tail light cluster such as the brake light or turn signal may also function as the tail light in your 9-3.

It is possible for the turn signal or brake light to work but the tailight part to be burnt out – replacing the bulb on your 9-3 will restore functionality to both. Since the tailights are on whenever your parking lights or headlights are on, they will burn out eventually. Burn out tail lights are a common reason for a police officer to pull you over, so we recommend changing all of the tail lights on your 9-3 whenever one is burnt out.

When changing the tailight bulb on your 9-3, be careful not to touch the glass part of the new bulb as this will cause the tailight bulb to burn out quicker. 1A Auto shows you how to install, repair, fix, change or replace a broken, damaged, burned out, cracked, faded, cloudy or chipped taillight. This video is applicable to Saab 9-3 models, years 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, and 12.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
