Your Mazda's headlights have replaceable
halogen bulbs.
Replacing a Headlight Bulb
1. Make sure the headlight switch is off.
2. Lift the hood and find the bulb in the
rear of the headlight body.
3. Detach the electrical connector from
the bulb by squeezing the tabs and
pulling it to the rear.
4. Pull off the sealing cover.
5. Unhook the bulb retaining spring.
6. Swing the retaining spring out and
away to free the headlight bulb.
7. Carefully remove the headlight bulb
from the socket by pulling it straight
back.
8. Replace the bulb.
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 surfaceSealing cover

Yo u r v e h i c l e’s electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls don’t
work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid using
that system and consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

Fuse Replacement
If the electrical system doesn’t work, first
inspect fuses on the driver’s side.
1. Turn off the ignition switch and other
switches.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.3. Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse
puller provided on the fuse panel.
4. Inspect it and replace if it’s blown.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating,
and make sure it fits tightly. If it
doesn’t, have an Authorized Mazda
Dealer install it.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one
of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the AUDIO circuit.
Fuses
Fuse panel cover
Always replace a fuse with one of the
