Any experience replacing headlamp bulbs? (H7?)
Well, I wanted to replace my low-beams with a set of those "cool blue" bulbs....
So I went to sylvania.com and used their lighting selector to find this. I do NOT have the HID lights. ********************************** 2004 MAZDA 3 w/Composite Low beam headlamp H7 H7ST Silverstar High Performance Halogen Upgrade: The Look of HID: Whitest, Brightest H7CB Cool Blue Halogen Upgrade: White Hot; Super Cool; 100% Street Legal H7LL Long Life Halogen: Lasts two and a half times longer High beam headlamp 9005 9005ST Silverstar High Performance Halogen Upgrade: The Look of HID: Whitest, Brightest 9005CB Cool Blue Halogen Upgrade: White Hot; Super Cool; ********************************** So I picked up some H7CB bulbs but they are not even close to matching the bulbs in my car. the shape, size, and connector are allk different. Any ideas? |
Go look on Ebay under Mazda 3 and they got a whole set of 3 lights including, High beams, low beams, and fog lights made specific for Mazda3's with Composite headlights for under $55 total. If you can't find it right away just keep looking everyday

The bulbs fit.
Look closely at the bulbs that you took out of the car(the OEM ones). They have a little brown colored adapter attached to them. Take the adapter off (just pull on it, it'll unplug)and stick it on your new bulbs, then they should go in no problem. :cheers: lol, the first time I changed my bulbs, I thought the guy at Kragen gave me the wrong part!. EDIT: oops. :crook: This is the deal on a Protege5. Maybe it's the same issue for a 3. |
Thanks. I actually figured this out already. thre IS an adaptor on the bulbs. The H7 is correct. :wave:
