Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)LOW BEAM HEAD LAMP FAILURE IN 2007, SAAB 9-3 2.0T SPORT SEDAN. IN 42K MILES I HAVE REPLACED THE HEAD LAMPS 4 TIMES. IT USUALLY OCCURS ONLY ON THE LEFT HEAD LAMP. THIS PAST SATURDAY, OCT 3, 2009, I LOST THE LEFT ONE IN THE MORNING AND THE RIGHT ONE IN THE EVENING. I HAD NO LOW BEAMS AND HAD TO DRIVE 25 MILES HOME, AT NIGHT TIME WITH CONSIDERABLE CITY TRAFFIC, WITH MY HIGH BEAMS. THE DEALER HAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SURGE WHEN STARTING THE CAR THAT CAN BLOW THE FILAMENTS IN THE BULBS BECAUSE THEY COME ON AS DRLS WHEN THE KEY TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. THEIR "FIX" FOR THIS IS TO REPROGRAM THE CAR TO DISABLE THE DRLS AND AUTO TURN ON OF THE HEADLIGHTS. *TR
