Rear Headlamp Bulb Replacement

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

To replace the rear light bulb, you need to remove the entire light assembly. The screws are accessible: one at the bottom under the boot cover near the access opening, and the other under the pillar cover after removing the plastic cap. Take the base of the connector and remove it. Once the bulb holder is removed, carefully replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it counterclockwise until it unlocks. Reinsert the new bulb using one with the same specifications. Reposition the bulb holder in the housing, connecting the corresponding connector. Tighten the fixing screw carefully and close the plastic cap. Perform a functionality test.
