How to Program the Headlight Switch in Your Saab 9-3! 

please do more Tech2 Tutorials on 9-3's!! love watching them

Glad you made a video for this. The useless headlight switch drove me CRAZY when I first got my '04 Arc convertible. Already had a Tech 2, got lucky, and stumbled across a random post on a Saab forum showing me which module to adjust.

Easiest way to do this is remove your “daylight running lights” fuse. Since most of us don’t have a tech-2. Problem resolved.

Thank you so much for this video man, been wanting to do this for a while👍🏼

Nice....the Tech2 got a bit pissy with you. XD XD Those are so fun to work with. Best money I have spent, as I have used it on each Saab since for basic setting upgrades and troubleshooting. Thanks for the tips about getting one. Worth it.

Thanks so much for the help and support you give us. I have a super rare 2009 9-3 (one of 41 made) 2016 scna Saab deconcourse first place with winner. Sure appreciate you!

Helps too if you for some random reason need light output in the front and no taillights... 😅

One on enabling comfort open and close would be extremely helpful 😁

Can you use the tech 2 to stop the heater blower coming on full at times like putting up the roof or selecting windscreen option on the direction of air button ? i get pissed keep having to turn blower back down to zero or wherever i had it before putting up the roof

Is it possible to change entire headlight with an aiming xenon light And marry with tech2?

Now my question is, when you say your headlights are on, does that mean the parking lights are on also? Because my parking lot and headlights stay on all the time while I'm driving. I have a 2007. And will the TECH 2 solve both problem? Thank You. Kind Regards.

thank you very much first of all for the video. very helpful. but i have a question. what if you do have a security access requirement?

Man, I remember when this channel had about 4000 subscribers...

Be helpful when i go to the drive in movie. Didnt know i could not turn my headlights off when i went.

I have 2004 9³ 2.0t vector and tester just failed the mot saying headlight leveling device is mulfubctional. I cant drive the car till its fixed. How stupid. I changed the headlight switch nothing changed. I cant find headlight leveling motor anywhere. I dont know what to do

I drive with my headlights on permanently. "I" like to think it is a Safety thing. I've owned mine for 3+ years and have only replaced 1 headlight bulb in that time. There are different QUALITY bulbs. You may pay a small percentage more, but they are (obviously?) worth it. The same can be said for most of the bulbs in your car. Pay the little bit extra! Philips, Osram etc. Not the generic Lowes, Repco brands. Interesting that they are programmable. Gonna have to try that.

I have a question about rain sensors how do you know if you have them?

I had a friend help me with his tech 2 and it’s programmed.. now I can turn on and off.. PROBLEM now is that my high beams and fogs are not working.. PLEASE help me out what to do to fix it.

Can you do a tutorial on how to get security access on the tech 2

I have a 07 93 aero. In the shop right now getting paint touched up. Drivers side headlight comes on then flickers and shuts off. I got a bulb and asked them to install while painting they said it was wrong bulb and they didn't know if it was the bulb or something else causing the problem. They said bulb was like 130.00 bucks. I guess what I'm asking is there any way to tell if it's the bulb or some of the other components?

Where is the best place to get a tech 2. Think it will be very worth the wild to have.

Good morning sir. Question, do you know if i can program the saab 9-5 2004 aero xenon headlights from RHD to LHD?

hello, is it possible to put a button to turn on the lights with the "Auto" function on saab 9-3 2006? and would it work? or is it for the facelift?

I have a 2004 9-3 vert with xenon, is there a way to make the inner halogens "high beams" work? Thanks

Can anyone offer an Android app reading the codes of SAABs like Tech 2?

can i program the key fob without the original key? or with a key without a working remote?

I need to do this on my saab, anyone know where I can get a cheap tech2

Does any body has a video or guide how to marry an ecu ?

This must just be on US cars as the switch works the way you want it to on UK cars at least

How to fuck I can put the hight beams without have to hold the stick

▶▶▶▶ Hey everyone, I have 2003 Saab 93 2.0t convertible and my headlights and parking lights would not turn off unless I turned the key to the off position! I found a easy fix, just remove fuse #15 daytime running lights (on my car), now I can turn them off using the headlight switch, how it should be! Only draw back is now my high beams don't work right, anyone know a fix for that?? But this is OK with me! NO more running head lights or parking lights!!

Hi, I found a strange issue with my newly bought Saab 9-5. In position 0, I have my headlights; in position 1, no headlights, but I can activate the front and rear fog lights; in position 2, I have nothing at all. The high beams should be held at ever position and do not work if you are not holding it. Any ideas about what could it be?

Just ordered my Tech2 China clone and found your channel. This headlight switch was always strange to me. Aftermarket radio dimmer needs switch in OFF to provide full brightness during day. Once they switch is OFF, the lights stay on... dumb. I'm going to reprogram that to match the switch settings when my Tech2 shows up.

Fortunately, Chinese Tech2's do everything that the originals due. No difference. Unless you have it, I have instructions how to get all inclusive level 1 admin access, (no internet access required) as long as you have a laptop with Win XP and a serial port. It's a lengthy process, but only done once and you never need it again. But I'm sure since you did this video, you may already have it. Let me know, and I can send it to you.

Thanks for the video..I have a 2005 saab 9-3 convertible 2.0 AERO. I had a friend program my switch to turn on and off the lights manually. Issue I am facing now is that my switch got programmed but my fog are not working and my high beams not working.. when I turn the switch off and hit my high beams on its using my low beams and high beam to flash.. weird.. is there a way to reprogam so I can have my fogs back and Use the proper high beam bulbs? Really need your help.

Thanks for this Jacob. All I have to do now is borrow a Tech 2!

hello where you buy this tech 2?

Also the middle position should be the daytime lights, on my 2008 9-3 it just leaves the upper led strip turned on, without xenon bulbs.

Were u get ur tech 2

Once you’ve established security access it holds that privilege until you pull into from another car. It is basically infinite access unless you change ecm or cim maybe. If just making changes like this you wouldn’t need to pull again unless had been used for security access on a different car

just got a near mint condition 2010 9-3 2.0T saab, and was wondering if you had any recommendations for a new exhaust manifold or tips that could possibly make the car louder? thanks keep up the work

I have a question Security access, is it subscription or anyone could get

Thank you!

Is there another scanner that can be used for this? Or another tactic? I ask because the tech 2 is extremely expensive on Amazon.

So I need a Tech2 to program headlights to work?! I just put brand new lightbulbs

You should run parking lights + fog lights as most enthusiasts do in Sweden 😊. That way you don't burn lightbulbs every 6 months + it looks much more cool 😎

I love my '07 Saab 9-3 but I change my halogens every six months like clockwork - always quality lamps too. Every June and Dec they burn out (and it's June - the passenger just burned out last week - like I said, clockwork). I've always wished I could get the DRL to be the only lights on when the car is running during the day. I also have the left brake/tail light that I"ve replaced the socket on a few times. Just the left side. The lights work but the dummy lights on the dash say they failed.

Hey buddy. So in Canada, you must have lights on whether drl or low beam. What I want are the drl on but the tail lights (parking lights) off during the day (better effect with the ice blocks). Is there a way to do that?
