Mazda 3 Bulb Replacement - Low Beam

nx01 · 11-11-2007, 12:37 PM

Hello from a newbie here. Please forgive a probably very simple question. Can anybody walk me through changing a low-beam headlight on my Mazda3? Or provide any tips? Thanks for any help.

I found the manual. I will RTFM first now. :-) It looks pretty straight-forward... I hope. :-)

I've done it before, it's easier then you think. Don't sweat it!

If you have tiny hands, it's much easier. There is a plastic plug screw on the back of the headlight, unscrew it, and pull out the metal clip. You will see the socket that holds the lamp.

Replace it, and put it back together.

Some people say you have to remove the bumper, sounds like way more work then needed if you ask me.
