Replacing Exterior Light Bulbs

The exterior lights have either LEDs or normal bulbs.

LED type

  • Headlights

  • Running lights (Some Models)

  • Position lights

  • Fog lights (Some Models)

  • Brake lights

  • Tail lights

  • High-mount brake light

  • Side direction indicator lights

  • Number plate lights

The LED bulb cannot be replaced as a single unit because it is an integrated unit.

The LED bulb has to be replaced with the unit. We recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer if the replacement is necessary.
