Model: Mazda 6 GH, MK 2 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Light bulb

Do you want to replace a damaged bulb on your Mazda 6? This operation may not be very quick in some respects. Follow these steps. First, you need to remove the wheel corresponding to the headlight you will be working on, then remove the plastic splash guard (with the relevant rivets) around the wheel arch. By moving the splash guard, you will find the headlight closure cap; pull it off. Replace the damaged bulbs with new ones at hand. Close the headlight with the respective cap, reattach the splash guard with the plastic rivets, and finally, reassemble the wheel.
