The best part about this video isn't changing the light bulbs, it's showing how easy it is to change the air filter since the dealer will try to charge you $50!

I really appreciate you shoving the camera into the place where you can actually see the light; so much better than the 3 other videos I just watched.

These are the types of basic car maintenance videos that we need more of. Short sweet and to the point. I have no idea why some videos are close to 10+ min long for simple tasks. I've changed my bulbs many times before in my mazda so im familiar with the process but its always nice to watch a quick clip like this for a refresher.

Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to do this myself! I bought the bulbs then was about to call the dealership to install them after reading the owner's manual because it said very plainly that "you cannot change the headlamps yourself" and it was talking about risk of electrocution and bulb explosion. It gave no instructions on how to do it. I have a 2013, and it was even easier than in your example because the air filter wasn't in the way on my model. The hardest part was getting the electrical connection to separate, but with a little wiggling and persistence it came off. I did both sides, and really they were both very easy. I wore vinyl disposable gloves to avoid getting any of my skin oils on them, and used a headlamp which made it easier to see down in there. I also wore safety glasses, because I was still a little spooked about bulb explosion, but nothing that dramatic happened. Thank you thank you! :)

I had a head slapping moment when you pulled the air filter cover. What a simple but effective thing to do. Great video. Thanks

Thank you! I KNEW it wasn't that hard. Have done it on other vehicles. But Manual and Dealer said a dealer had to do it. You saved me $175 labor!

[vorheese]

This simple no-nonsense video saved me two times already! Huge kudos, man!

25 dollars on Amazon, 20 minutes of contortionism and a left hand full of scratches, but I did it. Thanks for the video and thanks for the tips guys!

Thanks for this great video. I have seen other videos for the same car, but you turn the driver wheel to the right and un-clip the inner wheel liner to gain access to the low beam bulb. Taking the top of the air filter box is much faster !

By far the easiest and most to the point video

Thanks! Made it so simple to do on my 2014! Had to have my wife help though because my hands were a little too big since there’s a little less room on the ‘14 it seems like

[carlosleiva]

thank you very much, today I was having issue to fit my hand inside and I decided to give up for a moment, look for a video on youtube, and I am glad I found yours

[hacerclic]

This is brilliant! So much better than the manufacturer's instructions. It took me only about 10 minutes to do both low beams. Thank you.

[christopherdunn]

You just saved me a bunch of time and money I was already short on. Thank you so much! This is so much easier than the other guides that have you undoing the fender guard!

Tip: The passenger side would NOT twist out for me until AFTER the cable was released from the back of the bulb.

Perfect video! I was having a hard time to pull the low beam bulb from drivers seat side. And you explained this perfectly! Thank you!

I've successfully changed both low-beam bulbs on my 2015 Mazda 3, so I want to insert my experience here for reference.

Passenger's side is easy, if you know how to do driver's side, so I will focus on the driver's side. The hard part is removing power cable from the bulb using one hand without looking. You want to do this before removing the bulb from the socket, as the socket serves as your "second hand" to hold the bulb for you when you pull the cable. My suggestion is to practice using removing the power cable connected to high-beam bulb first, because you can actually see where you should press to get the power cable to disengage.

Once you successfully pull out the power cable, twist the bottom of the bulb to remove it from the socket (forgot it was clockwise or counterclockwise, try both ways). When putting the new bulb, you want to first connect the bulb to the power cable, and then twist it into the socket - again without looking, so you will need to feel and try. Pull the bulb and make sure it is secure once you are done, voila!

thx for tip..the low beams are in hardest spot ive ever seen in cars ive had.

[dariuszlozny]

Thank you - don’t think I would have gotten the driver’s side without this video!

[Tobiiaass]
