All you need is a long hand. Very easy to do if you know how to do it. Take ALL the clippers of the front mud guard in front of the wheel. Oh yeah, turn the wheel outside to have easier access. It is located next to your oil cooler. Reach it and unclip the connector and they can be taken out antin clockwise. To install, easier to get someone to see if it is aiming right *(or you can look yourself if you have a very long neck ). I have to admit putting it in is much harder. If you can take the wheel off it is much easier. Make sure you don't touch the bulb - otherwise it will blow in 2 weeks.

Therefore, I rather do it myself rather than a junior garage boy at the dealer who will stuff up the bulb by getting his oily hand on it.

I didn't think about doing it from the wheel well. Thanks, because since I installed my RB Oil Cooler screens, I figured I'd have to pull the bumper again. Hopefully I have long enough arms. But I still need to wait for Mazda to fix whatever is wrong with my fog lites, neither of them turn on. Thanks again! --Mark

Ok, so looking around on the internet nobody offers a H9 bulb. I'm begining to think there isn't even a H9 bulb in existence. All the sites have H1, 3, 4, 7 and 11...but there's no H9's to be found. Can anybody clear this up for me?
Its not too big of a concern because its not like you drive with High Beams on regular, and I wanted to replace some of the bulbs (parking, and fog) because the they looked like ****, not because they weren't bright enough. But I'm sure some of you want to change it out because...well to just change it out. Just trying to get this nice list more accurate. --Mark

Pia sells H9 bulbs.
Search 'H9' bulbs on EBay or Google,or go to a sppedshop near you.
H9's are definately available.

Found it...i dunno why I didn't think about doing that...i'm dumb, heh. Now, can we find a place that sells ALL of our bulbs LEDs. Kinda dumb having to order in from two or three different places. I guess it won't be a big deal after getting the first set in the car since hopefully we won't have to replace bulbs for awhile. But would still be nice to go to one site...anybody found one?

Hey folks, for the rear brake/tail lights (7443) and high-mount stop light, do we need RED bulbs?
I want to replace those with 15-led wedge type bulbs, and wonder if they should be red or white... I suppose red, just wanted to confirm (I don't have the car here to check).

Thanks!

^ white (no need for red, b/c all have red plastic covers)

So the hyper-white LED's would be the way to go? I mean, they won't be too bright white for the plastic covers? I definitely don't want some pink light

I use red not white.... red is much brighter than stock and it is only about 30% less bright than white - according to autolumination's spec chart

Devoid have you actually have white ones in your car :D

I just scare if it is white and turn out funny then it is waste of money.

BTW: devoid, my bro, I use your money to buy more goodies for the site.

ive searched for the answer to this...to no avail.... how do you get to the turn signals in the front. I havent spent that much time looking at it but it looks like a pain in the butt

markris77

Its pretty easy. Just go through the wheel wells. Cut the wheel, take off the cover with a phillips screw driver, pop out the retainers, peel back and dig in. If you have big hands or arms, get a scrawny little kid to dig in there...not that i did that or anything. its most of a feel thing since u can't see well in there. but when putting in the new bulb u can reach around the front and peep thru the empty hole for alignment. i have a yellow 8 and the stealth bulbs look sweet!

KYRX8

cool, ill get my little brother to help me with it them, thanks for the advice. BTW, what do the stealth bulbs look like, im replacing mine with PIAA

truemagellen

stealth bulbs are crummy, not bright enough...get some LEDs

KYRX8

any pics of the led's around here? I got the piaas for free so ill throw those in but im not opposed to buying the leds if they are that much better

truemagellen
