    brake light replacement bulbs

    My 02 convertible has a "brake light failure" message, and I cannot figure out which bulbs belong in which sockets.

    The bulb which is out is in the module that is part of the trunk lid. Those modules have two sockets, though, and I want to know which bulb belongs in each one.

    One of the sockets is behind a clear lens, and the other, which is below it, has a socket behind a red lens.

    So which bulbs do I use, and where ?

    I can't help you for that but respect the right model bulbs especially with brake left bulb. it's page 208 of the owner's manual http://www.steadysaabin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/2001_saab_9-3_owners.pdf
    page 211 for the right bulb

    Sylvania 7506 are the bulbs that fit in the deck lid. Clear are your reverse lights and the red lenses are your rear fog lights.

    I have also all Sylvania bulbs, except of hi and low beams, as they are HIDs. On their site they have got the menu where you can select the year-make-model and it will give you the info with all bulb sizes for the vehicle.
