My headlight went out on my Mazda 3 (5 door). Can anyone walk me through the process of changing it? I am an experienced wrenchhead, but this thing has me baffled. It takes the 9005 bulb (so no HID, sadly). On the passenger side I can remove the plug, but after that I am stumped. There is a rubber cover of some sort which seems to wrap up and onto or around the capsule (bulb). Any help at all would be amazing.

I have tried pushing and turning the bulb, but either I am not doing that hard enough or there is another way.

Please, Please help anyone! I dont want to get pulled over.

 

Unplug the bulb, pull the rubber ring off it comes
off quite easy then there is a little metal spring
inside you have to push in and pull down then it
opens up and you simply slide the bulb out
to replace it reverse the steps and your done
took me 10 min to replace both lights with my
new sylvania silverstars they look awsome
compared to the stock ugly yellow bulb


good luck man
