ISTR that there are some SAAB owners in this NG?
I have a 2001 95 and have question about the headlight alignment.
The headlights seem to be aligned to cast as much light as possible into the curb. Thus: N/S lamp points straight and parallel with the N/S body but the O/S lamp is angled towards the curb.
This gives (fairly) good N/S illumination but there is a large area of darkness on front of the O/S. I've had the alignment checked and assured that it is correct but I'm not happy.
By comparison the lights on the RRC (and I have had 3) have had each lamp unit set so the the beams project forward, i.e. the O/S does not angle towards the N/S. This give two distinct upsweeps on dipped beam on the setting wall and main beam has two distinct hot spots coinciding with the centres of each lamp.
I don't now what the SAAB beam pattern looks like on the setting jig but suspect that there is a single upsweep coinciding with the centre of the N/S main beam spot.
Years ago my father handled the advertising for Scania trucks and their brochures made thing about extended N/S illumination.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
