How to replace a front headlight bulb on a 2008 Mazda 3

  • Mike Paone Dec 17, 2009

    Have you ever opened the hood of a Mazda 3? No you cannot just open the hood, turn the socket and the bulb comes out. Maybe you have some special tool but no adult can can just reach down and pull the bulb out, there is no room.

  • Mike Paone Dec 17, 2009

    Maybe there is a difference between the Mazda 3 HB and Sedan. I have a Sedan and looks like I cannot get to the bulb without removing several parts of the grill.

For the most part you open the hood and turn the socket and the bulb come out if you have an autozone near you they will install it if you get the bulb from them and thats about any auto parts store

    the best thing for you to do is stop by your local mazda dealership and get the blub from them and for the most part the manger will install free because it makes he or she look good

How to change the headlight bulb 2008 yukon

Open the hood, above each headlight is 2 rods, unlatch the rods and lift striaght up, the headlight will now lift out and you can replace the bulb, It turns about 1/3 of a turn left to unlatch the bulb. After the bulb is replaced, set headlight back in place and push the rods back down, you may need to wiggle the light housing to align the holes so the rods seat all the way down.

Need to change headlight on 2003 mazda rx 6

If it is the headlight itself. There may be a cover or shroud on the front of the engin bay. Remove that, may be a combination of clips and screws. If it does not cever the light area, it is even easier. There will probably be 3 screws or nuts, remover these and unplug the electrical to the light. From there you should just be able to pop the light out of place. If you are just replacing the bulbs. Where the power goes into the assembly, turn the clip, may be grey in color and pull out of the headlight assembly and replace the light bulb. But don't touch the new bulb the oils from your skin will damage the bulb.
