My 2012 Mazda 6 headlights keep going out, even though the bulbs should still be good. I've had 3 go out in less than a year.

I had the right headlight replaced on my 2012 Mazda 6 less than 6 months ago, and it has already gone out. I took it in this morning to have it replaced again. It works, but now my left doesn't. I can't imagine that it's a coincidence that my left bulb went out the same day I had my right replaced for the second time in less than a year. Any idea what could be causing this?

SOURCE: headlight doesn't work

Try checking the fusebox under the engine compartment. You should find fuses for both lights in there. also check your light relays also in the same compartment. You might have a bad relay.

Steve, have you heard of spare bulbs. So that you do not lose/misplace them after cleaning the car, Mazda has placed them where they are required. Right in the headlights.

Both low beams (HID) are out. dealer says both

Chris,

I actually have been dealing with this problem with my 2007 Mazda Cx-7 since I bought the car a little over a year ago with only 33,000 miles...its rediculous! I brought it to Mazda once before the warranty ran out and they told me it was fine, again after my warranty was over they told me it would cost $375 to order and replace the HID bulb..instead I bought the bulb off of partstrain.com for $80 and the bulb still did the same thing.... Finally brough it back to Mazda the diagnosis cost me $163.07 for them to tell me that my "Headlight Module" was out and it would be over an $800 fix! In your case if both of them are doing that it would be twice that! Mazda finally paid for the majority of it but won't return my $163.07 even though I told them there was a problem when I first bought the car!!!! In today's economy who has that much money to be throwing around trying to figure out whats wrong with the DEFECTED PARTS that Mazda places in its vehicles???!!! Good Luck!

Need to change headlight on 2003 mazda rx 6

If it is the headlight itself. There may be a cover or shroud on the front of the engin bay. Remove that, may be a combination of clips and screws. If it does not cever the light area, it is even easier. There will probably be 3 screws or nuts, remover these and unplug the electrical to the light. From there you should just be able to pop the light out of place. If you are just replacing the bulbs. Where the power goes into the assembly, turn the clip, may be grey in color and pull out of the headlight assembly and replace the light bulb. But don't touch the new bulb the oils from your skin will damage the bulb.

Headlight shortage

Is the bulb connector melted? Its the plastic piece that the bulb plugs into. You can get a new one from your Mazda dealer for about $20. I've seen quite a few bulb connectors go bad and short out the bulbs. Especially when people run mp3 players and phone chargers all the time.
