Your Mazda’s headlights have replaceable 
halogen bulbs.

Replacing a Headlight Bulb

Due to the complexity and difficulty of 
the procedure, the bulbs should be 
replaced by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Handling Halogen Bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is 
dangerous. These bulbs contain 
pressurized gas. If one is broken, it 
will explode and serious injuries 
could be caused by the flying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with 
bare hands, body oil could cause the 
bulb to overheat and explode when lit. 
Never touch the glass portion of the 
bulb with your bare hands and always 
wear eye protection when handling or 
working around halogen bulbs.

Children and Halogen Bulbs:
Playing with a halogen bulb is 
dangerous. Serious injuries could be 
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or 
breaking it some other way.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of the 
reach of children.

WARNING

Do not touch the glass surface
