    I know this is a stupid question - but did he turn the lights on after he replaced the bulbs? Check the socket where the bulb screws in, make sure there's no corrosion. You can test the circuit to see if there's any voltage going to the light to the light.

    2.5L NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil Leaking

    Do you have the turbo? Turbo is covered for 10yr/120,000 miles. If not I'd call Mazda corporate and raise HELL. 25k miles is way too low for this to happen and it shouldn't happen at all.
