This simple no-nonsense video saved me two times already! Huge kudos, man!
Wish all instructional videos were this good
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!
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.
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!
))))
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 agree that the owner manuals are allowing for fewer and fewer maintenance items that you can do yourself. It's really silly and I know why they do it but thanks to videos like this one we can take some of the power back. :)
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!
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 !
2017 Mazda 3 Asia (Steering on right side)
Replaced my low beam bulb with Philips H11.
You have to press the tab on the connector and pull it down. The connector will disengage. Then you have to twist the bulb to take it out. Took me 30 mins to figure this out but its written in the Mazda manual.
Anyway for me for both passenger side and driver side, didnt need to do anything extra like removing air filter cover. Its challenging no doubt but doable. Thanks to this video for the short and sweet guide!
Exactly what I needed, quick and efficient. Thank you!
Thank you! Saved me labor costs, much appreciated! Great tutorial goes straight to the point.
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
Huge thanks Dylan for your support 👍🏻
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
By far the easiest and most to the point video
thx for tip..the low beams are in hardest spot ive ever seen in cars ive had.
This video was simple and straightforward. Thank you.
Was frankly expecting more work, but guess it's that easy. Thank you good sir
Excellent. Straight to the point, made it very simple.
Made it much more clear where to actually look, thanks so much.
Поменяла лампочку благодаря вашему видео. Благодарю!! ❤
That helped!! Mazda had you getting it through the wheel well.
Thanks so much for the video! Your photography was steady and showed very well the location and ease at which you can access the lighs. And even with your accent you are VERY easy to understand. Excellent video!!
Thank you so much very well and quick explanation
Thank you! Worked on my Mazda 3 2015
Simple, short, and precise. you are beautiful thank you sir!
Really well explained and easy to follow Thanks!
I was so mad at Mazda until I watched this video! Thank God because I was about to remove the entire headlight on the driver's side!!
Dude thanks, other videos show the removal of so many screws and bumper .
Jonathan Lopez cause this is an official way on how to do it :)
Going in through the wheel wells in some of them!
Thank you. This is a straightforward video.
Thanks for the video, came here after mistakenly replacing same high beam bulb twice thinking I am replacing the low bean. Thought there was something wrong with the wiring in my car after supposedly "changing" the low beam.
i did the same thing lol
Thanks for this great video , perfectly explicated 💪😁
Great video. Remove and replace harness clip with bulb mounted into position.
Thank you so much! I do Ride Share and was panicking when my headlight went out this morning. I am on my way to the auto parts store now. lol
I love You!! You explain so much better than other videos!! You’re dee Best!! ❤️❤️🙏🏼
Yay! Thank you!
Dude, so helpful. Wow. I'm about to do this myself. Simple procedure, but I've never done it before. Thank you so much.
Glad I could help!
Thanks bud, was wondering how to get my hands in there without unscrewing everything, really didnt think of the air filter cover top removal but when your swatting wasps while working on the car things change lol . thanks for the tips.
Thank you so much, it was so helpful!
Muchas gracias, me salvaste de quitar todo el frente del carro como otros videos ❤
Thank you for posting this!
Helpful video. One minor comment. This is for the 3rd generation car (2014-2018 Mazda 3).
I was not able to twist my light out... I have a 2014.
Best video on the topic ty
Gracias! Me ayudó mucho!
Really helpful video. Thank you
Thank you for you instruction. Subscribed
Very Helpful Thanks for such videos on internet🤙🏼👍🏻
Tip: The passenger side would NOT twist out for me until AFTER the cable was released from the back of the bulb.
This comment needs more emphasis. I was wondering why I couldn't twist it out.
Me too!
I was just trying to get it out I'll have to try this thanks just got pulled over with a warning
Eeek wife just told me one was out this am , guess I'm gonna have to change both! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this tip!! Just changed mine and glad I saw your comment
Thx for the help!😌
For awhile I was struggling to loosen the bulbs until I found out you have to disconnect both of them if you want them to come out. Easier if you connect the new ones in when your ready to put them back in
Super simple. Thanks
Great video, but do you turn the bulb clockwise or counterclockwise to remove from the housing? My friend’s is stuck and won’t go either way without force, and we don’t want to break it.
This is the best video so far on the Mazda headlight.
Just a one question which way do I twist to pop out the socket?
Gracias gracias gracias !!! Me salvaste
Como lo hiciste ? Yo he tratado pero no he podido
does the same aply to the mazda 2 2019 ? i wanna replace bulb into LED. also, wil the computer give any errors if I do?
Perfect, thanks!
its excellent and thank you very much for sharing. how's to change the fog lights bulbs?
Muchisimas gracias, me ahorre un poco de dinero con el mecánico jajajaja el carro de mi novio tenia la luz fundida.
Good video!
Thank you!
Great video. My low beam bulb does not have a connector. The wires are glued on or something. Would’ve been an easy replacement but off to the dealership I go. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️$$$
I can't loosen my low beam on my 2016 Mazda 3 hatch either
Merci !!!!
Thank you SIR! :)
Mazda recommends that the driver side, low beam bulb be accessed by opening the inner fender well liner. If you're having problems reaching that bulb after removing the air filter cover, try the fender well.
I had more luck going in from the fender. Easier angle to press on the harness release and pull off. Also, I took off too many clips on the liner; only take off 3 or 4... just enough to get your hand behind it. (Same for the passenger side)
Me and my wife had a really hard time trying to plug the new drivers side low-beam light back into the holder to make a connection. It wouldn't push down far enough no matter what we did. I cut my fingers up trying to push the bulb into the socket but it just wouldn't go past that plastic nub. Hopefully it will be easier if I pull the front inner fender well out and access it that way.
Good video man.
Thanks for the visit
It’s helps to unplug the cable from the lightbulb then twist it out. When installing twist in the new bulb and then plug it in. Trying to fight those cables can be such a pain
Is the “low light bulb” the same as the “parking light”. I was told I needed to change the parking lights of my 2015..
Thank you
Thanks man
thank you
I tried removing the bulbs from the top first (on my '16), but found even with the air cleaner cover removed, I could not find a good angle to simultaneously push down on the harness release and back on the harness. (On MY car, clearance and wire length would not allow removal before unplugging.)
Just removing 3 fender well clips left me enough room to get my hand in and both unplugging and removal of the bulb were way easier. [Marker lights, too... fender well is the only way to go.]
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!
Saved me 100$ dollars
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
@@repaired2106 ok... it's really difficult to get the bulb to twist in order to take it out. Can you give me a tip to get it out. I've bought the replacement bulbs but cant put them in... ugh!
Thanks a lot for the video, definitely helped me a lot. I have one question though: do I need to re-adjust the lights after I change the bulbs?
answering my own question in case somebody else is curious: NO, there is no need to re-aim the lights after changing the bulb.
Darth Ghitza Thanks for answering your question cause we actually did need the answer
Tawfiq Abdulsamad you’re welcomed
Thanks
Liking for the air filter housing tip
how do you change the led bulbs on the xenons , please help
i need to clean the inside of the light how do i do this? 2015 Mazda 3
Can I switch Hi Beam to 9005 LED hi Beam straightly?
How about the LED lights that act as DRL mine just went out on 1 side
What about the side part? I believe it’s the parker light?
Hey can you make one for the side marker ?
RIP for his watch
Hey guys i want to know wich light is good for 2016 mazda 3 hatchback
Is high beam inside or outside?
Does this work on 2016?
how about showing us you getting the high beam on the passenger side, I want to see you getting your hand down there
My drivers left side had a bunch of plastic bags/trash on the inside of the wheel well. So strange. Maybe I’m missing a part and it’s being sucked in there as I drive? If anyone knows lmk
What about the third bulb. It's burned out by mine. There is 3 of them.
I replaced mine with LEDs but they aren’t working. Any advice?
Man If you are reading comments I wanna say that it is way different from 2010 mazda3 anyway you can show us the same thing on 2010 mazda3? Much appreciated!!!
Not as easy for the right side which is completely different to access.
The manual: "No, you can't do this yourself. You have to take it to an authorized Mazda dealer."
repairED: "Parry this, *casual* . "
The headlight bulb won't let me pull it out I have a 2018
I can’t screw it back in…someone help plz…
Could you not do ANOTHER visual aid, where you have assistance. As anther is holding the camera and you do a COMPLETE showing of ALL the light bulbs. Just a request thank you.
passenger side is not easy to remove . a little space too close cant even pinch the lock with one hand.
its 00h41, cant change it im not able, im about to snap
And now the other side the harder one...
This demonstration of the Drivers Side IS NOT represrentative of the passenger side.
Passenger side of the 2018 Mazda 3 Touring hatchback IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE to access. Impossible with larger than japanese sized hands without pulling the front wheel and dropping the splashguard / wheel well in front of the wheel.
You have been warned.
I'm trying to replace the side marker bulb in 3rd gen Mazda 3. Can't quite get it out... what is the trick???
