qReplacing Exterior Light Bulbs  
WARNING  
Headlights (With LED headlights)  
Never touch the glass portion of a  
halogen bulb with your bare hands and  
always wear eye protection when  
handling or working around the bulbs:  
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is  
dangerous. These bulbs contain  
pressurized gas. If one is broken, it  
will explode and serious injuries  
could be caused by the flying glass.  
If the glass portion is touched with  
bare hands, body oil could cause the  
bulb to overheat and explode when  
lit.

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

Mazda Dealer when the replacement is  
necessary.
