Sup pips, in changing in the parking lights, do we still need to remove the bumper right?, coz one of my parking light is out, the OEM one, and i thought it easier just to pull it out the bad one and replace it with the new one, i ended up wrong,.lOL

and uhmmmm, can't find OEM parking lights BULB :-( all i've seen are white LEDS, i dnt want to use the white one's coz they're not legal,.-- (just being safe) dont want to get pull over by cops and have a bunch of tickets, ( had a tinted window too )

any heads up on the parking lights?

thanks

 

It's an integral headlight/parking light/turn signal unit, but Mazda made it easy to replace bulbs, without removing the front bumper, and the instructions/graphics are nicely presented in your Owner's Manual (suggest you READ):

Front turn signal lights, Parking lights,
Front side-marker lights
1. Turn the socket and bulb assembly
counterclockwise and remove it.
2. Disconnect the bulb from the socket.
Front turn signal
lights
Parking lights
Front side-marker lights
3. Install the new bulb in the reverse order
of removal.

 

i've read my manual already, its just showing you how to turn the bulb,
my point is, how to put them on without removing the bumper :-)

the defect one is on my passenger side..

 

Replacing a Bulb (Front)
1. If you are changing the right bulb, start
the engine, turn the steering wheel all
the way to the right, and turn off
engine. If you are changing the left
bulb, turn the steering wheel to the left.
2. Turn the center section of the plastic
retainer counterclockwise and remove
the retainers and partially peel back the
mudguard.

You remove the socket/bulb assembly from aft wheel-well by turning counter-clockwise and then pulling it out. Then you replace the bulb in the socket itself. Then you replace the socket/bulb assembly and turn clockwise to secure.

Fog lights do require bumper removal, but not so for the bulbs in the headlight/parking light/turn signal unit.

 

hmmm i'll do that
thanks to you :-)

but i need to look for OEM parking light 1st..hehe
