Replacing Low Beam Bulb
I'm thinking about doing this myself as the manual instructions seem clear enough:
Low Beam Bulb
1. Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb by pulling it to the rear.
2. Pull off the sealing cover.
3. Unhook the bulb retaining spring.
4. Swing the retaining spring out and away to free the headlight bulb.
5. Carefully remove the socket and bulb assembly by pulling it straight back.
6. Remove the headlight bulb from the socket.
7. Install the new socket and bulb assembly in the reverse order of removal.
But the manual warns:
Low-beam bulb
(Xenon fusion bulb)
You cannot replace the low beam bulbs by yourself.
The bulbs must be replaced at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Do not replace the xenon fusion bulbs yourself:
Replacing the xenon fusion bulbs yourself is dangerous. Because the xenon fusion bulbs require high voltage, you could receive an electric shock if the bulbs are handled incorrectly. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer when the replacement is necessary.
So is this a job for the professional?
