When removing the lens or lamp unit using  
a ꢀathead screwdriver, make sure that the  
ꢀathead screwdriver does not contact the  
interior terminal. If the ꢀathead screwdriver  
contacts the terminal, a short circuit may  
occur.  
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 Authorized  
Mazda Dealer when the replacement is  
necessary.  
NOTE  
To replace the bulb, contact an  
Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
Use the protective cover and carton for  
the replacement bulb to dispose of the  
old bulb promptly and out of the reach  
of children.
