Hi Jonathan, Just want to confirm that cutting the blue/white wire (pin 10) is what disables the Xenons from activating in position 0. I attempted what somebody else suggested, and covered the pin with tape, but the xenons still turned on in position 0. The plug is quite firm, so its very possible that the tape moved when I plugged it back in. Just want to make sure that this is the correct wire to cut before I do something crazy!

Pin 10 is a blue and white wire. Is there something else that needs to be done to turn off xenons on later model cars? Or is it something that needs to be disabled in the Tech II?

Hi, Jonathan. I bought a used 2004 9-5 here in the USA. It is something very strange in the light mode. At the very left position, I have my front and rear lights ON. In the top position, parking lights are ON, and front and rear fog lights can be activated. But at the very right position, there is no light at all; everything is OFF, even the dashboard is not lighting. The high beam works at any position as long as you pool and hold the stick, otherwise, it is not switching. Do you have any idea what could it be? Tech2 mods? British mode (opposite direction of the switch)? Please advise 🙏

And no bulb socket hardware, and no plugs or wiring. Does this sound normal? I'd like to install some H7 bulbs there, to relieve the load on the HIDs, when in low beam. Do you know of a kit that would provide some bulb holders & H7 wiring to support this install? I'm in US with 2007 9-5.

Hi Jonathan and thanks for this excellent, useful and informative video. Now the days are getting shorter I notice more and more how drivers are either ignorant of the law regarding fogs & low beams together, or they simply think it's cool. Anyway, I had my dealership programme the Raven as you've described, and it works fine - no more oncoming bus drivers flashing angrily at me. A couple of suggestions in connection with this - replace the stock parking (positioning) bulbs with LEDs, the best quality you can afford, to improve on the relatively 'yellow' light, plus upgrade the actual foglights themselves to a high intensity LED or the best possible (H7?) nightbreaker or other white-light halogen bulbs there, and even in the main beam... Haven't researched it properly yet, but I'd like to have Xenon for all points there, except the parking lights of course. Your thoughts, Il Dottore? ;)

Hi Jonathan, I'm following your videos already since a while, they are great and quite "direct to the point" so, first of all, thanks a lot! I have a couple of questions, may be you can help me, my 9-5 was imported from Sweden so it has still the setting preventing to use fog and low beam lights at the same time. In Italy it is allowed to use low beam and fog lights at the same time but it is prohibited to use fog lights while there is actually no fog (the police gives fines for that). I would like to configure my head lights differently. I would prefer to be able to turn on fog lights and low beams at the same time with the lights switch in position 2. I imagine that I should select a different alternative for fog lights with the Tech2 instrument. And the other question: in position 0 I would like everything off, both position and low beam lights. I guess that in this case may be there is another alternative to select for "day lights" with the Tech2. So may be I can just select those two options with Tech2 even without to cut any wire. What do you think? Do you know what are doing the others alternatives? Thanks again!
@albertorealis-luc2522

So, I reply to myself. In order to be able to use the Tech2 instrument I went to a Saab dealer. To make the fog lights to stay on together with low beam lights in position 2 I selected alternative 1. Before I had alternative 3 selected. I'm curios what alternative 2 would do, unfortunately I had no time to experiment there. To have everything off in position 0, including the illumination of dashboard it is really simple: just remove fuse number 35 (15 amps) the one for daytime lights.

Actually using foglights with high beams dosent help with visibility in dark, actually it is dangerous to drive so. The foglights makes your visibility worse because the foglights will blind you, yes it seems that there is more light but acutally the light from fogs emits only right in front of the car but this light will make your pupils contract and you cannot see to the far wich is way more important. Please dont couriage people do to so, or do it your self because its dangerous.
