Picking up on the Volvo V40 thread, does anyone else have experience of poor headlights on Saab 9000s? Or is it just mine? I sometimes feel I'd be better off shining a torch through the windscreen....

Ive just bought a secondhand Saab 900i 1995 ( my first one ) and I don't think the headlights are much different to many other cars I've owned over the years

I've had several 9000s, I would say they are OK, but not up to the mark of newer cars. The 900 Turbo I had (1979 vintage) had really bad lights, despite buying new reflectors and then 100W bulbs (yes, I know, a bit naughty). My old 9000i (1987) doesn't go fast enough to worry about the lights, as they are adequate for the performance.
Check the reflectors, if they are beginning to look past their best, you could replace them. If you get them from a Hella agent rather than Saab, you might find they are very reasonably priced. You can strip the whole unit down easily on most models.
Try the technical forum on Saabclub.co.uk, someone out there might have some bright ideas (pardon the pun).
