Your Mazda's headlights and fog lights
have replaceable halogen bulbs.

WARNING

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.

Replacing Exterior Light Bulbs

Replacing a headlight bulb

1. Make sure the ignition switch is turned

off and the headlight switch is off.

2. Lift the hood and find the high and low

beam bulbs in the rear of the headlight
unit.
The outboard bulb is the LOW beam,
and the inboard one is the HIGH beam.
Refer to Light Bulbs (page 8-34).

counterclockwise and remove it while
holding the rubber socket cover in

gently pulling it straight backward out
of the socket.

4. Disconnect the bulb from the electrical

connector by pressing the tab on the
connector with your finger and pulling
the bulb upward.
