You can set your light switch to a position BETWEEN the standard settings, that is, halfway between the normal settings. This kills all lights except when you step on the brake (which turns headlights and brakelights on anyway). I usually keep mine set between the leftmost and next settings except when driving at night. Works ok for most driving and still lights up your headlights anytime you step on the brakes, like at intersections. Headlights go off as soon as you take you foot off the brakes. This setting also saves the battery power when starting or cranking up (if you have the emergency brake on instead of stepping on the brakes). I should mention this works for me on a manual 5-speed saab. If you have an automatic, you can just ignore the battery-saver info.

Some cars leave a light on if you switch off with the indicator/turn light left on. Put the stalk to the "OFF" position and see if it goes out.

How to change head light bulb, drivers side, 2006 Saab 9-7X

Easiest way is to stick your hand in front of the battery and take the dust cover off, twist the bulb and done. I'm lucky, have smaller hands! lol, If you can't get to it, remove the battery for easy access.
The passenger side requires removal of the aircleaner box.

Headlights stay on, ignition turned off

If you turn car off and remove key from ignition, th? headlights will stay on until you open the driver side door, its part of an auto on headlight system. you can leave your selector light switch on the headlight position or on the daylight lamp relay (DRL) position. and open the driver side door and the lights will go out and not stay on. so it saves running your battery down. That feature is only on SLE trim line on the Solara.

The drivers side headlight on my 2002 Saab won't

This is probably a problem with the orange headlight relay under the hood in the relay black box. Take the relay out and clean contacts and put back in. If does not fix, try a new relay or swap with another 9-5 to troubleshoot.

On my saab vector ignition key functions

I have a Saab 93 Vector and although my key does not have that function my manual says the following; 'Press once - Turns on exterior and cabin lighting, for 30 sec, or turns off lighting. Deactivates panic alarm. Hold and press for more than 2 sec - Cars with car alarm: panic alarm (activates alarm manually).
There is another section that says the button turns off lights and larm when activated and the car remains locked. The panic alarm can only be activated when the car is stationary and it will be silenced when the car is driven away.

Hope that makes sense. Enjoy your Saab 93 - I know I do every day.
