Because of this video, this woman has now changed her headlight bulb TWICE, on my Mazda!
Thank you Sir!
All because you took the whole thing out so we could get a good view!
Thank you for the excellent feedback , it is much appreciated.
@@s33therfan You're welcome!
THANK YOU! I just came from another video showing how they REMOVED THE ENTIRE FRONT END just to change a bulb! I am so glad I found this simpler way!
Thank you for the great feedback it is much appreciated.
just came from the same video this one just saved me so much money
Same here . Was about to sell the car.
Yep, you and me both, sad thing is now I have to put all the crap back now where I tried the other video
1a auto always goes the extra mile lol gotta make those long videos 🤣
This is THE BEST demonstration on how to change the headlights. Approximately a year ago, I searched throughout RUclips for how to replace my headlight, and all of the videos that I found showed that this would require removing the Entire front end to accomplish it. Therefore, I ended up having Mazda do it for ONE BULB. It cost over $100!!! Stupid me, I had them change a rear light. That cost $30!!! Thanks SO VERY MUCH s33therfan!
Thank you very much for the feedback , I'm glad this video has done a great job explaining . I tried to make as detailed as I could so hopefully it could make things go more smoothly with the limited visibility and access . Anyways I love hearing feedback like this , let's me know I did a good job with the filming . Thanks for watching
I agree this is very help full thanks....
@@s33therfan does this work on a 2007 Mazda 6 or do I have to take off the whole bumper to replace a bulb
My son found a video on how to replace the bulb but I found yours. The two videos were night and day apart. Of course we chose yours and were able to complete the job in just a few minutes because you showed us the pitfalls before doing the job.
I really appreciate the great feedback. Thank you very much for watching.
Mines the opposite. Mazda is the worst cars ever made. Everything on a mazda was designed by a jerk. This is not an easy job. I watched 4 times now and ur car was easy but the spring on my car doesnt unlock nothing. Triec ten times now to get it to unlock. Mazdas suck and i recommend if u have one get rid of it. I am going to have to remove the whole front bumper just to change a dang lightbulb. The leak exhaust. Clutch slips engine leaks. All mazdas are horrible cars. Do urself a favor and get rid of it
@@bobrapier I agree it was no easy task, it took me an 2 hours to finally get the spring to release the bulb. The main fix was to move the metal latch around the wire of the bulb itself and then wiggle the bulb enough for it to come out. The main reason it’s so difficult is because you can barely even fit your hands inside there and you can’t see what your doing either unless your at an awkward angle above the car. Btw it took 2 hours because I kept taking short breaks due to the insane amount of frustration.
U jkkkkkkk mmmk
Hello. Just letting you know your video helped me in replacing my headlight bulb for my 2007 Mazda 6. It took a little bit of effort in getting that little latch/spring off but I got it done. Thanks for helping me save a lot of time and money.
Thank you very much for watching.
I have a 2007 Mazda 6 and every time I have to change the bulbs, I wind up wanting a few beers after. You can do it without taking everything else apart, but it's incredibly awkward, since you can't see any of it or easily get leverage, or even light to it. This video is great as you give such a clear view of how things line up. The toughest part about this whole thing is after you connect the new bulb, getting it oriented properly so the / shaped part is pointing at the little bit where the spring catches and then somehow using just touch to hold it in place and work that little spring back over. I just did both of mine - thanks for the helpful video. Now, beers.
I envy your ability to have a few beers after, I’m about to do this for the 3rd time, in like 30 seconds once I gain the will to get off the toilet.
@@gorgfrombozo just stay on the toilet, these days that's an ideal plan.
Thanks so much for pulling the entire headlight out of the car for this video. It's almost impossible to see what is going on in there so I just paused your video and felt around to get the bulb changed.
Yes indeed there is no seeing anything and barely any room to do anything . To make matters worse you either have wear gloves or make sure you absolutely don't touch a bulb while feeling it into place . I like to see if it can be done at all without removing things to avoid extra work . What's surprising is that most new vehicles now days you have remove the bumper fender wells partially and various other stuff just to change the bulbs because you cannot get to them without removing the entire headlamp. Thanks for watching and the kind feedback
As 1qqq
Fantastic video bud. Just wish I'd found it before a friend "helped"me out and now my whole high beam surround is loose. Great simple explanation and I totally agree with previous comments, the headlight out really really made it.
Thank you very much.
I have the same exact car. This video saved me so much money and time I was able to change it myself with just the help of one person. Thank you so so much for this helpful video!!!!
Thank you very much for the kind words . I really appreciate the feedback . Thank you for watching.
Omg this made changing my headlights so much easier than how I previously saw how to do it! Thanks a ton for the vid!
Thank you for the great feedback it is much appreciated.
I thought French cars were hard to change but Mazda upped the ante. Big props on the video!
Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much. Your video was very helpful. The driver side low beam bulb looks easier to replace than the passenger side low beam bulb. You may have to pull the wheel well cover off to access that side. Pretty tight from the top. Just a suggestion. thanks again.
Excelent video!!! Helped me a lot. Thanks for taking the time to get the whole headlight fixture apart and show a really good view.
Thank you for the great feedback, I really appreciate it.
Dude I have watched a few videos on here and they all have people taking off the entire bumper to remove the fixtures and replace. I legit jumped back on here cause I couldn't remember if I was forgetting a hidden bolt behind the fixture and found this gem of a video showing me the way of doing it without taking the damn thing off. I've been taking it off for years!! Thank you for this
Love this comment . Thank you very much for sharing and the great feedback.
This video has helped me three times now to change my bulbs. Thank you!!!
Excellent , thank you for the terrific feedback.
5 years later this amazing video is still very helpful.
Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for the video. Just came from another video and almost tear my bumper off. Great work! The best Mazda 6 bulb change explanation and method on RUclips!
Thank you very much for the great feedback.
Excellent Video. I watched parts of other videos declaring with confidence that you need to remove the bumper to do this...what idiots....with your help, I did it in 5 minutes. Great close ups of the assembly. It required a bit of dexterity but not much. Saved me so much time and frustration. Thanks!
Thank you for the great feedback and thanks for watching.
So glad I found this bc I just got off the phone with an auto shop for an oil change and asked them what the additional charge would be for them to change my headlight bulbs if I brought the new bulbs in with me and they said that they would have to remove my whole front bumper and it was going to be $150! I’m a full time college student with a part time job that’s literally half my paycheck so I thank you fo this
Thank you for the feedback , much appreciated.
Thanks.
You're a good teacher.
Removing the assembly for a clear visual was very valuable, thanks again.
Thank you for the terrific feedback.
Thank you, thank you. This is the best vid on RUclips for replacement of headlight bulbs on the older Mazda's. I have a 2008. Did low beam on right side in about 25 minutes, just toke my time. DID NOT have to disassemble the entire front end of the car like other videos say. Why do Mazdas make things so complicated? ( I can remove the entire headlight assembly on my 02 Mustang in about 30 seconds! Just 2 spring tabs and its out) The Japanese just make things too complicated!
Thank you for the amazing feedback , I really appreciated it.
Man, great in-depth video. Thank you sir. Trying to explain to a teenager can be difficult so now I can have him watch this video.
Thank you for the terrific feedback , love this comment.
A lot of videos were trying to male me jack it up and go in through the wheel, thank you for saving me about 40 minutes
Thank you for the great feedback and thanks for watching
Bro thank you! I just changed mine by myself with your video!!! God bless!
Thank you very much for the great feedback and kind words .
Got it! Thank you for taking the time to show how to change. It is very cold outside, so I need precise instructions to minimize my time outside...
Thank you for the kind words and the great feedback , I'm glad the video could help you out. Thank you for watching
Great instructional video. Many thanks for putting it together and demonstrating how it should be done. Takes all the guesswork out of this since you have to do most of it by feel. Well done sir!
Thank you for the terrific feedback , much appreciated.
This video was a huge help, thank you!! Especially appreciate how you described and showed the pin mechanism from another angle. Ps. For any other Mazda 6 2005 Sports Wagon owners here - I found that the process in this video worked perfect for the driver's side light; however, the passenger side light was too difficult to access in this manner. For that side, I found that it was much easier to simply turn my wheels to the left, then remove enough of the pins holding the passenger-side wheel well cover in place so that you can peel back the cover and reach up to the headlight cap from that direction. (This is one of the methods is described in Autozone's 'Headlight change' video, in case you could use a visual for that)
Thank you for taking the time to share.
Thank you so much! I was ready to jack it up, take the wheel off. Saved me! THANKS
Thank you for the excellent feedback and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video. I had changed the driver side H1 bulb a year ago. Now I am watching it again this to change the passenger side headlight bulb.
Glad it helped , thank you very much for watching.
Perfect vid! Great job explaining how to do everything in plain English. We appreciate it!
Glad it was helpful , thank you for the great feedback.
Thanks again! Just replaced the driver side head light low beam with H1 bulb basic purchased from Autozone. Just followed your instructions. The most difficult part was putting the spring back to place to hold the bulb down. The video was very helpful.
Thank you very much for the great feedback and thank you for watching
Its a pain in the tucass if you have big hands! Must have bulb positioned correctly for the tabs and rhat dang clip is in the way the entire time
Wow that's super detailed. Just what I needed. Thank you so much!
I was afraid I needed to remove combination light box altogether like it says in the manual. And for that you need to remove your front bumper
Thank you for the feedback and thanks for watching.
Bruh this is the best guide on the whole world. Thx sir and greetings from Poland ❤🇵🇱
Thank you very much.
Thank you for showing us the low beam assembly and how to take the spring off. This was so helpful. Great video!
Thank you for the kind feedback I appreciate it . I'm glad this video could make things easier for others . Thank you for watching
I just did this myself without removing the assemblies. Took me about 2.5 hours and lots of swearing but I did it. Almost feel like I would have spent less time if I had just removed the entire bumper and headlight assembly. Very tight in there.
I always forget which bulbs are required, that's an awesome tip about it being cast on the light assembly.
Thanks for watching.
Love the headlight wiring insulation at 9:53-looks a lot like mine.
I'm looking at doing a headlight disassembly and rewire, plus swapping out the low beam projectors for dual HID projectors, with LED angel eye rings around the low beam. Add some LED high beam bulbs and new lenses, and they should look good and have decent high beam.
Sounds like they are going to look great , share a video , once completed . Thank you for taking the time to share.
Every other youtube channel says that you either have to pull off the front bumper or the tire.. well done and thanks for teaching me the easy way!
Thank you for the great feedback and thank you for watching
I have the six cylinder model, and seems there was an extra wire harness in the way, did it, but it was a pain in the ass, passenger side is worse than driver side
Thanks...made changing lights super easy. Only took 20 mins!!
Thank you for the terrific feedback.
Thank you very much!!! After disassembling my front bumper and under carriage from a previous video, I found this one and had it changed in mere seconds.
Thank you very much for the great feedback.
thanks, I was able to use the hood access method to replace my low beams using this video. This probably wouldn't be feasible for those with very large hands, though.
Thanks for the feedback and thank you for watching
Thanks so much for this! I have used this video twice in the last couple years to swap out headlights
thank you for the great feedback, much appreciated.
Thank you very much! - i was searching video how to do it - and im completely not handy man - and only thanks to your video i have done. You put all necessary information! thank you
Thank you very much for the terrific feedback it is much appreciated.
Thank you! I was looking at other videos that had the whole frigging bumber off and all kinds of screws and whatnot. Good grief. I'm a good mind to go post a link to this video under theirs and save people some trouble!
Love this comment , thank you very much for the great feedback.
Thank you so much for this video! Got in changed in 15 minutes. If it hadn't been for your video to use as my eyes on this job, who knows how long it would have taken me.
Thank you very much for the great feedback and thanks for watching.
Came from 1A auto comments & all I can say is OMG!!! Glad I did!
Thank you for the amazing feedback , it is greatly appreciated.
Great video. Best one yet. Thanks for taking the entire assembly out so we can how they are attached. Appreciated!
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Hey big THANK YOU from Hamilton, New Zealand. It was very helpful to see the spring being undone out of the car. Thanks heaps 👍
Thank you very much for the great feedback. I really enjoy hearing from others around the globe and how my video helps people . Thank you for watching
Thanks for uploading this - managed to install a new globe very quickly and easily! 👍
Great work and thank you for the excellent feedback.
I've changed my bulbs so many times, and yet I still come back to your video when I get frustrated with how the stupid bulb fits at just the right angle. Thanks
Thank you very much for the great feedback. And thanks for watching.
Best video I've seen in a long time.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate this info. I'm glad I didn't start stripping down the entire front end bodywork of the car as in the first video I watched! I knew there had to be a simpler way.
Thank you for the great feedback.
Big Thanks here bro! I just finished changing mine. your video makes a lot more easier. I appreciate you bro. GOD BLESS 👍
Thank you for the excellent feedback , much appreciated.
Great video, nice and simple and understood every step perfectly 👏 thank you sir

Thank god I watched your video before I started pulling the vehicle apart just to change the bulbs thanks a lot
Thank you for watching.
Best explanation on the internet! Thank you!
Thank you very much
Great descriptions. Made an annoying job easy.
Thank you for the feedback , I appreciate it , and thanks for watching
Thank you for the video. There is little to no room to move your hand in there to put your lights back in. Thanks for the help!
Very true very little room , whole lot of feeling around and guess work .thank you for watching
This video is alot more helpful than other ppl videos on this. Other ppl video had them saying that to change a bulb that the whole headlight assembly had to come out. I was thinking, yeah right, that's bullsh&it.
Thank you very much for the great feedback and thanks for watching
You saved my day, thank you from the Netherlands
Thank you very much for the feedback . Im glad the video could help and thank you for watching
Thank you for this video. I would add , using a telescopic 2" mirror and a flashlight was the saving grace for me. The few dollars for a tool I will use again was my solution.
Here King: you dropped your crown!
Love this comment , thank you for watching.
Thank you for such a thorough video. I was able to change the low beam bulb with your help!!!!

I have a 2008 Mazda 6 like the one in your video and I'm wondering if you know why there is a small bulb inside the high beam cavity and what is the replacement part number?
Its a parking light . It calls for a 2825 but other mini bulbs will interchange . Great question. Thank you for watching
Thank You!!!
You rock dude! Way better than the chick who wanted me to TAKE OFF THE WHOLE BUMPER!
Thank you for the great feedback and thanks for watching

Thanks a lot I thought it would be more difficult
Happy to help
Great work! I did it thanks to you
Great job , glad this helped. Thank you for watching.
Awesome video.. the lobe you replaced is that the D2 S hid?
I just did this on my kids 6 last week. Both low beams blew out at the same time! Surprise, surprise, yesterday I put in a new alternator. Related? Maybe. Good info here. Thanks!
I've heard of these Mazda 6 having harness issue , but the information was vague . Wonder if it is alternator related . I've been on forums where people were talking about losing high beams low beams but bulbs being good . These cars do some puzzling things . Probably a lot of engineering flaws that get passed through and then people get to deal with it. It's a good thing he has you to count on to help fix things for sure. Thanks for the info I'm going to remember that in case it happens on mine. Thanks for checking out the video
FWIW, I didn't change the alternator just because of the bulbs. The alternator was indeed bad and only putting out 12v. I just though it was an odd coincidence that it went bad and those bulbs blew out. Guess we'll see what happens!
I noticed something really weird on my Mazda 6 in the fuse box in engine bay, the harness that the white flip up connector is on your left , the only one in the box . But one of the connector pins holes looks almost burned or damaged . Anyways haven't had any known issues but when I was at salvage yard I thought hey , I'll get a good one while I'm here . There were 4 mazda 6 there and every single one of them had the same exact burn mark damage area on the harness connector . Just curious if you've ever noticed anything on yours like that .
I haven't been in the fuse box much. Next time I'm there I'll check it out.
Thanks for the video. You're awesome 👍
Thank you very much for the great feedback.
The video saved me a lot of time. Thank you!
Thank you very much for the great feedback and thanks for watching..
Thank you for the excellent video! Not only have you saved us time and money, you've prepared our minds for the task at hand! ;-) One question, (I apologize if it's already been asked and answered, but didn't see it in the first 40 or so comments)
Why exactly is it so important to not touch the bulb with our bare hands?
Thanks again!
Thank you very much for the great feedback , it is much appreciated.
Oils from your hands can damage the lens and burn the light prematurely
@@kavindumadushan4081 Thank you.
Thank you very much for demonstrating how to change the headlights. I feel confident that I can now do it myself.
Thank you for the kind words and the great feedback . I hope the video can help things go quickly and easily for you. Thanks again
Thank for this info
Helped alot
You are most welcome , thanks for the feedback.
GREAT! Thanks a lot for showing this in such a detail. So even ME can do it myself!
Thank you for watching
Fantastic video. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. I've been searching high and low for a video on replacing Mazda 6 headlight bulb. One that was clear and simple and step by step instructions. Great job!
Thank you very much for the kind words , nothing like honest appreciation. I'm glad that it can help out and make sense , makes me feel good . Thank you for watching
Thank you so much this was the best
Thank you so very much.
Thank you ! Great Mazda Vid ...
Thank you for the great feedback.
Really helpful but in my Mazda there are two wires for the headlight in that compartment , one black and one orange and I see you only connected the orange since there is only one connection on the bulb. What do you do with the other wire (black wire )
Hey, So my harness frayed and needs to be replaced, by me. Got any recommendations-videos? You are the only one I trust.
Thank you! Changed with no problem!
Thank you for the great feedback and thanks for watching
Thanks a lot bro. You saved me a pretty penny.
