SvartBil - the black '99 9-5 SE

For some reason, the '99 9-5's seem to suffer the same 'DOT' disease that other US-spec SAABs have - useless high beams. Our 2000 9-5 is fine, but the '99? A complete waste of watts. Enter the Hella 500's. The brackets were once on Q - and with some judicious banging, worked just as well on the 9-5. Jonah Erikson (FIX) did the banging and the wiring - and damed fine job he did! Just two holes - no other modifications needed - everything squeezes under the grill! A bit of rustoleum, and voila! Since everyone always asks for lots of pictures - these are for you.

All it takes is one more hole in the bumper support


Fresh paint
