When removing the lens or lamp unit using a flathead screwdriver, make sure that the flathead screwdriver does not contact the interior terminal. If the flathead screwdriver contacts the terminal, a short circuit may occur.

  • To replace the bulb, contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

  • Use the protective cover and carton for the replacement bulb to dispose of the old bulb promptly and out of the reach of children.

Replacing Exterior Light Bulbs

Headlights, Running lights/Position lights/Front direction indicator lights (type A), Front fog lights (Some Models), Brake lights, Tail lights, High-mount brake light, Side direction indicator lights

The LED bulb cannot be replaced as a single unit because it is an integrated unit.

The LED bulb has to be replaced with the unit. We recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer when the replacement is necessary.

Position lights (type B), Front direction indicator lights (type B)

When replacing a bulb for the front direction indicator lights and position lights/front side-marker lights, turn the steering wheel and change the direction in which the tyres are pointed to the position where the bulb replacement can be done easily.

Turn the steering wheel after starting the engine and stop the engine after you finish turning the steering wheel.

  1. If you are changing the right bulb, start the engine, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and turn off engine. If you are changing the left bulb, turn the steering wheel to the left, and turn off engine.

  2. Make sure the ignition is switched off, and the headlight switch is off.

  3. Turn the screw anticlockwise and remove it.

Rear fog light (Some Models)

 

Do not replace the rear fog light bulb just after turning off the engine:
