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.
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.
