What kind of headlamp bulbs does a 1990 saab 9000 take? are they H4? I'd take one ont and look only it's not here until the end of the week.

Not sure about the 1990's. Mine, a '95 CSE take H1's. Using every day and after 12000km or 8000 miles there gone. Rather quick? I presume.

It can be H4 or H1 depending if it is the original style front (CC) or newer style front (introduced on the CD body style). I don't know exactly when the changeover was done. It is easy to check: if one reflector is used per side for both low and high beam then two H4 bulbs are used. If two reflectors are used per side, one for low beam and one for high beam, then four H1 bulbs are used.
For those following along at home, it also depend on where you are!! Headlamps vary by country. But I guess by the ".uk" in the OP's address you knew where he was...

I should have mentioned where I was. If all things go to plan we should have it tomorrow or over the weekend, I'll then take a look and see what bulbs she needs.

Yes. A .uk address, and also asking if it was H4, was a sure sign he was looking at a car with real headlamps, not the "broken by design" headlights attached to cars intended for the "other" market (where most drivers have no idea what H4 is).

Where are most of you here from? are you spread far and wide?

Well, my newsserver probably shows up with a .de address, but I'm rather far west of there, so that's not a real good indicator either. Always helps to ask if they don't say.
You have .net in your From: and the it is well known that the german news server is very popular.
In this case it was very obvious. The original poster did have .uk addresses in his signature and wrote H4 in the text. What is the probability of someone from overseas doing that?
Had the original poster used some other address or mentioned 9003 and 9004 bulbs my answer would have been different.
YES
But, my Organization: header and others show the .de address, and so on. But yes.
Well... my '65 96 has H4 bulbs, as did my '88 900T, so probably not too absolute.
I'm not criticizing your answer by any means, I was more commenting on the frequent need for being specific with stuff like this. Heck, half the time we can't even agree on what side of the car the steering wheel is on!
Dave
Mine's on the right side, I can't help it if yours is on the wrong side! :)
What is worth noting is mentioning where something is, saying "drivers side" really doesn't scope well.
David.
We can stretch this wordplay further... Mine's on the left side and where I drive most, that happens to be the right side.
Fortunately my steering wheel is at the drivers side.

Yea, My steering wheel in on the Drivers Side Two.
