Excellent Instruction video! I had no idea this was so easy. Went out, got a bulb, and saved labour costs on this easy job!

[@VirarAutomotive]

Glad it helped!

[@MiamiMaverick]

Thanks for this! The dealership wanted $70 to change my map light! Did it myself for $7!

[@VirarAutomotive]

Nice! That's so cool!

[@User-cb4jm]

What a joke, they always try to make money on every little thing. You can even get bright LEDs for cheap and make it feel like a new luxury car.

[@RaySchrantz]

Awesome video man, very detailed and exactly what I needed. My Passenger overhead light went out last year and I figured it would require the entire top panel to be ripped out and rewired, but not I know it's just a bulb. Thanks so much, I'll definitely do this after I buy the bulb

[@swapnildave9586]

I like how you are taking your time explaining every detail throughout the video! No nonsense or bs. Excellent! Keep them coming !

[@VirarAutomotive]

Thank you for your kind words Sir

[@mathutchings1321]

These are solid videos!! Successful changing of the burnt out light at my house. Thank you!

[@VirarAutomotive]

Glad you found the videos helpful!

[@oneyedthing]

A great detailed tutorieal. Thank you for sharing this

Glad it was helpful!

[@valeravisinky]

Nice. Applied these method to mazda 2. It worked. Thanks mate

[@VirarAutomotive]

Thank you. Glad you found it useful!

[@JJH_98]

This is what i needed. Bought a full set of fitting LEDs for the interior of my Mazda 3 :D it just looks so much cleaner and more valuable.

[@VirarAutomotive]

Glad I could help!

[@JJH_98]

@@VirarAutomotive Just did it. The rear dome light was really hard to get out, damaged the plastic a little bit, but i guess nobody will really notice. Everything worked really well. I just have one question left. How do i change the glove box light ? I got an LED for that aswell, but i dont wanna damage anything. Do you know how i have to do it ?

[@VirarAutomotive]

@@JJH_98 Unfortunately for the glove box I am not exactly sure cause it seems I missed doing that in this video. Sorry 😐

[@JJH_98]

@@VirarAutomotive Ahh okay :/ well then i have to continue looking for this :) But for the rest your video worked really well and except for the glove box i got everything on LED now 😁

[@VirarAutomotive]

Glad you found the video helpful!

[@AmodSachintha]

Hey, thanks for the video. Any idea where I can buy the plastic lens covers for the cabin lights and for the one on the vanity mirrors?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Dealership or the scrap yard would be your best bet as this is a very specific part.

[@violetsandcatnip7862]

Thank you so much for this. The bulb in my overhead map light burnt out, and every now and again it would get accidentally pressed, and left "on", but because it wasn't lighting up, you couldn't tell, leading to my battery dying overnight! Now, not only am I able to take the cover off to prevent it getting accidentally hit, but I know which bulbs to buy to replace it!

[@VirarAutomotive]

Thank you for sharing. Glad you found it useful!

[@min-hantsai5878]

Could you share videos for changing the Shifter light, A/C light, and dashboard light? Thank you very much!

[@VirarAutomotive]

Sorry. I haven't figured that one yet.

[@RCStuds]

Will you be making a video on replacing headlight/tail light bulbs on this car as well? Great content by the way!!

[@VirarAutomotive]

I have made videos for the Tail Lights. All the videos I made for this car are here. Do check it out. Mazda 3 (2014-2018) - The Essentials: kzbin.info/aero/PLFtKj3oFrQPM_DF248z3Z6fc6fXtA1HNH

Φιλε, πολύ ωραίο το βίντεο.Μπορεις να μας δείξεις πως βγαίνει η πίσω πλαφονιερα στο MAZDA 3 του 2010;

[@dirtybooth]

Would you consider showing the license plate lights as well?

[@VirarAutomotive]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGXMmadtdtSdhbs

[@cemilcam]

I bought T10 for trunk but doesn't fit at all.. are you sure please? What about plate? I couldn't open up the sedan version

[@VirarAutomotive]

The trunk is 194 / 168 / T10. Those are all interchangeable bulb sizes. The bulb base is the same. The only difference is the wattage. 168 is slightly more brighter than 194 and 194 is slightly more brighter than T10. But size wise it is the same.

[@cemilcam]

@@VirarAutomotive I almost broke the light while trying to open it from outsider:)) I see that the trunk bulb and plate ones are the same size.. is it correct? Thanks for quick reply

[@VirarAutomotive]

@@cemilcam That is correct. They are both the same size: 194 / 168 / T10

[@maranathacristovienepronto198]

I have mazda 3 2008 my trunk light it's not working I change the bulb but still not working I guest I not the fuse because i did not see any individual fuse for that I only saw 15a interior lights...

[@VirarAutomotive]

That 15A fuse controls all the interior lights including the trunk light.

[@christopherlawley1842]

I feel a spudger would be better at removing the rear lens than the 2mm screwdriver. I shall shortly find out!

[@VirarAutomotive]

Definitely it would be better. I just used the screwdriver because more viewers would have access to a screwdriver than a spudger

[@jan4004]

very nice that little screwdriver, just a pity about the damage done

Thank you!

[@drwfrnndo]

Hi, are these contacts live? That's why you are using gloves in removing the bulbs?

[@VirarAutomotive]

The contacts are live, but since the switch is off, it's not the electrical what I am worried about. The reason I wear gloves is: Our skin has oil on it. When you touch the bulb surface with bare hands, the oil from our skin is deposited on the bulb glass surface. Once the bulb glass surface gets hot, the oil burns off, and as it burns off it leaves hot spots. These hot spots become weak points on the bulb surface and cause micro cracks. The cracks allows the gas in the bulb to escape and that causes the bulb to fail. Hence to avoid it I wear the gloves. It is to be noted that it's not a major concern for these interior bulbs as they don't get that hot. It's usually a problem for Halogen bulbs which get very hot and that's where oil deposits on the bulb surface becomes a problem. I was wearing gloves in this video as just a good practice and probably because I was shooting multiple videos on this car on the same day including the headlight ones. Hopefully this helps.

[@drwfrnndo]

@@VirarAutomotive thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Can you confirm if I can change this to LED lights instead? Found a local supplier for a 12V LED 31mm festoon bulb. PS, I'm pertaining to the map and dome light in the cabin

[@VirarAutomotive]

@@drwfrnndo you can replace the bulbs with a LED bulb instead with no issues. Good luck!

[@defox_nz]

probably want to use a plastic panel tool, or else you will scratch all your plastic trims. like shown in map dome lights

[@VirarAutomotive]

If a plastic tool is available then it's best to use it. Most folks don't have a special plastic tool and a key or a small screwdriver is all they have. Another alternative is to use a plastic knife, like the ones you get with carryout at restaurants

[@8bitorgy]

trunk light is incorrect

[@VirarAutomotive]

You mean the bulb number ?

[@8bitorgy]

@@VirarAutomotive yes I just ordered the bulb you specified and it was way too large.

[@VirarAutomotive]

@@8bitorgy did you find out the exact bulb for trunk? T10 bulbs are way bigger for the trunk.

[@user-rg7gg8sv4q]

Hi I have exactly the same problem, the T10 bulb is big. Maybe you found a bulb type that fits our car?
