Saab fan from the US!

Thanks for the info, I can post a few pics of some of my Saab fleet if anyones interested. As for the light output of the US lights, the early style round lights, like the 99’s have is fairly good although this is mainly because they were set up to be ”good enough” with a normal incandescent bulb. When you run a modern halogen bulb (or better), the round lights in the 99’s and pre 1987 900’s the light output IS pretty good. A quality Sylvania extra-vision sealed beam headlight costs about $15 in the US, and you replace the entire thing, reflector, bulb, glass. That is a good thing. It’s mainly the 87-93 900 & 85-92 9000 that have the poor light output with the US lights. Same thing with the 86-93 Volvo 240, those headlights are actually plastic and always turn yellow on US model cars.

The good used drive axle inner drivers at ANA were a real good find. Those are getting to be hard to find in good shape, and although you CAN still buy them new, they are almost $400 a piece. At about $15 a piece, I had to get a whole bunch!
