Replacing Headlight
I've been trying to replace the driver-side low beam bulb, but I can't remove the retaining clip that keeps the bulb in place. Does anybody have any advise on removing that retaining clip?
|
find someone with really skinny fingers, and follow the directions in your owners manual. This was a real PITA cuz my hands are long and big so i couldnt fit my hands down there to replace it, instead of removing my bumper to get my headlights i just grabbed my friend and told him what to do.

Using a mirror helps you to see what you're doing too. |
don't lose the retaining clip screw
|
Thanks
Thanks for the tips guys

So? How did it turn out for you? edit: WOW!! Post 6700! |
Are you going in thru the fender well? I have tried on the right side earlier this year and broke the clip - be carefull - mazda wants $400-500 for a new lamp assembly. I am triing to figure out how to replace without going in thru the fender well. good luck

I've always went right from the top, it's kinda a PITA but with practice youll get it.

'Gotta' tell you guys, we just bought a Pontiac/Toyota Vibe for my wife recently, and between that and the 1st gen Saturn SL-1 she had before this car, the Masda is a PITA to work on. I actually ENJOY working on the Vibe. It took me three hours and a week of reading instructions before to install the hood gas strut kit on the Mazda. It took me 10 minutes IN THE DARK to install the one on the Vibe. I had to pull the bumper to add/install the new horn on the Mazda. It took me (you guessed it) TEN MINUTES to replace the weak factory horn on the Vibe. What's wrong with this picture??? |
You mean you have to pull the bumber for the horn? Wow...
