there are adjustment ****s in the back of the headlights. Are you sure though that you don't have bulb problems? You're describing what could easily be an issue when low beams don't turn on and you're running on DRLs.

My 95 aero ('03) seems to have this problem as well. Unless I'm just so used to the lights in my other car which are unbelievably bright compared to the Saab's and both have HID/bi-xenon. I have a poor leveling sensor in the front suspension though (will be fixing soon), but even when both headlights worked, it seemed much too dim. I'd put on the fogs just to make sure, and sometimes, I'd wonder if I had a burnt bulb.

I couldn't find anything to make the DTRL go into night mode, or whatever that's called. I only have the *** on the side of the dash that turns the lights on or off. I went through the instruction manual and all that junk.
