Front Combination Light Removal/Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Mazda CX-9. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Fogging or condensation on the inside of the front combination lights may occur due to a natural phenomenon occurring as a result of a temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the combination lights. However, it has no effect on the light performance because the temperature inside the front combination lights rises after illuminating the headlights or a period of time has elapsed.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
Remove the front bumper. (See FRONT BUMPER REMOVAL .) (See FRONT BUMPER INSTALLATION .)

- When removing the front combination light from the body, it could interfere with the body and cause scratching or damage to the body. When removing the front combination light from the body, apply protective tape to the body.
