Saab 96 - Bulb Replacements; Headlights; Domestic Headlights; Instrument Lights

Adjust the other headlight similarly, after which a routine
check of the high beams should show that these are symmetric.
NOTE. When temporarily using the car for L.H.D. the asymmetric
section of the lens should be covered with a piece of nontrans-
parent masking tape, by which ordinary symmetric light will be
obtained.
Bulb Replacements
Headlights U. S. A., Sealed Beam
Open the hood and disconnect the cables from the unit. Screw out the
headlight adjustment screws and detach the unit by loosening its upper
pivoted attachment. Note the coil spring at each attachment.
Separate the sealed beam unit from the sheet metal body by detach
ing the chromium-plated clamp ring. Fit the new sealed beam unit
in the headlight body and secure it by tightening the screws of the
clamp ring. Make sure that the unit is correctly installed by following
the maker's instructions. Install the headlight in the hood. First fit
the upper attachment with spring to the hood and then screw in
the two adjustment screws. Fit the two coil springs and tighten
screws. Connect the cables to the unit and aim the headlights.
Domestic Headlights
Open the hood and remove the rubber cap behind the headlight.
Disconnect the lampholder by detaching the spring clamp. After
replacing the bulb insert the holder and secure it with the spring
clamp.
Use a clean cloth or the bulb wrapping when inserting the new
bulb. Avoid touching it with your hand. Make sure that the quide
lug is properly seated and fit the rubber cap so that it seals tightly
around the holder.
Instrument Lights
All the bulbs in the instrument unit are fitted in removable sockets.
They are very easily replaced and accessible from under the instru
ment panel.
Other Lamps
Loosen the attachment screws and remove glass (and frame). Re
place the lamp and check that it is firmly positioned and makes good
contact. Clean the lamp and the reflector. Fit the glass (and frame)
by tightening the screws and be sure to obtain proper sealing against"
the rubber packing.
