Headlight Lens Replacement

Hello, my headlight lens on the passenger side has shattered and now is cracked with a hole. It looks like a replacement would cost $75. Are there any detailed instructions on how to replace the lens? Thanks, MJ

I guess that might help. It's a 2002 9-3. From what I read the lens is held in by a few clips. I see the ones on top but I don't know where the rest are hiding. Any help appreciated.

I just replaced my lenses and it's cake. To get to the lens clips, you have to take the entire headlight assembly unit out. It's three Torx screws. To get to one of the screws, you'll have to take out the corner light screw as well since it's connected to the headlight unit. The only other thing you have to do is unplug the electrical connection. It's an easy 5 minute job.

Once the headlight is out, it's about 6 clips and the lens will come off. You might have to take a screwdriver and lightly pry it away from the seal.

One other thing, the Saab chrome grille has to come off but it's only 2 clips.
