Rear Headlamp Bulb Replacement

Model: Mazda 3 BK, MK 1 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Tail light bulb

To replace the rear light bulbs, you need to remove the entire light assembly. The screw is accessible on the side of the boot after removing the plastic cover by levering with a plastic tool in the designated slot. Unscrew the retaining screws of the headlamp located under the cover and remove the light by disconnecting the connectors. Carefully remove the bulb holder and replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it counterclockwise until it releases. Fit the new bulb, ensuring it has the same specifications. Reposition the light assembly in its housing, connecting the relevant connector. Carefully tighten the securing screw and replace the plastic cover. Conduct a functionality test.
