Where do you live? I had to replace my headlights...I did it mysel, and the casing started to leak afterwards. I took it ot the dealer and they fixed it, but I ended up paying more. I would go to Mazda Gallery on route 1 if you live in the Boston area. They'll do it right the first time

RE: HEADLIGHT REMOVAL PLEASE!!!
if it is just your headlight bulbs... do it yourself.
1. take your jack out of your trunk.
2. lift the body just for clearance help... not until the front wheel is off the ground.
3. turn your wheel inward to allow MORE space.
4. the wheel well shroud should be only held on by 2/3 bolts and like 2 to three push-in plugs you can't miss them. ( take your time removing them and remeber where they came from... which hole that is)
5. pull the shroud back... it won't break just pull it back far enought o see the lightbulbs in there respected holder.
6. remove the bulbsocket by turning it counter-clockwise.... once out remove the bulb. install the new bulb in its place.
7.reinstall socket in hole(THIS PART TOOK ME THE LONGEST OF ALL About 5 minutes. couldn't find the hole, no pun intended)
8.once installed close the shroud back up, lower the car and repeat for other side as stated above.
---all in all with no problems that is the easiest way to do it without a car lift and removing the tire.
bulbs you can buy for like $20.00 at auto storeI think they are H7 but just check before buying,
took about 20minutes to do both sides.
not hard
