Replacing headlamp bulbs
NOTE: The procedure can be difficult. Your Mazda dealer has the proper
tools, training and parts to perform this task. If you have difficulty with
this, visit your local Mazda dealer.
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 of the bulb 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.
WARNING: Children and Halogen Bulbs: Playing with a halogen
bulb is dangerous. Serious injuries could be caused by dropping
a halogen bulb or breaking in some other way. Always keep halogen
bulbs out of the reach of children.
To remove the headlamp bulb:
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the hood.
2. Reach behind the lamp assembly for access and disconnect the
electrical connector.
3. Locate the bulb retaining ring
behind the headlamp assembly.
