Replacement of Front Headlamp Bulb

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

To replace the bulb, you need to remove the headlamp and detach the front bumper to access the mounting pins: one is located at the lower left corner (when viewed from the front), one at the lower right corner, and two on the grille. Once all the pins are unscrewed, pull the headlamp forward to remove it and proceed with the bulb replacement. During these operations, take care not to scratch the bodywork; it is advisable to completely remove the bumper.
