Thank You so much for sharing this. This morning I replaced the tail lamp on my Mazda thanks to this video. And because I had no experience working with tools, it gives me so much satisfaction. Thanks again.

[@kirsteenniven5111]

Thanks a million. Perfectly clear instructions - which enabled the replacement of the rear bumper and tail light. Saved lots of money and the job was completed by a couple of novices within a couple of hours.

[@bazrule95]

I've been struggling to find a video on removing the taillight thanks so much. I'm going to do this tomorrow, you've made my life a thousand times easier lol

[@AnnaDalton86]

Great detailed video. Thanks. Would this be the same process for a 2004 Mazda 3? looks very similar with the tail lights and bumper.

[@MrB360thy]

Great video. Will really help me a lot. Have you ever split the lights apart and sprayed the chrome inside black.

[@summerwunderlich6394]

do you have a video on how to replace the drivers side tail light assembly on a 2013 Mazda 6? just the assembly, not the bulb

[@thesamiam19]

dam!!! I had trouble taking off the tail lights....but now I see how its done thanks alot!!!!

[@happywrenching]

Yep, that's in the works. Should be up in a few days.

[@d.a.t.7723]

Thank you, I need to get this job done soon...👍🏻

[@JH-zr8lo]

I need to replace the rear bumper to an RX-8. Are these comparable steps? Thanks!

[@josetteyssautier]

does the tail lights from the 2006 fits in the 2005?

[@DamienLebrun]

Thanks very much. It worked great.

[@lakomichlakom112]

Sedan and liftback bumper reverso?

[@happywrenching]

Haha that made me chuckle. Glad this helped.

[@whattheworldsneedswhatneed774]

Omfg that's a pain in the ass to remove. The dealership designed cars like this so u can take it back to them to fix and milk money off of u.

[@mackenzielawrence502]

Hi. I have a 2008 Mazda 6 as well and I was wondering if you have ever experienced any rattling or shaking sounds coming from the trunk area of your car here... because I am and I'm currently trying to figure out what is making all that noise as I'm driving down the road. Any suggestions?

[@mackenzielawrence502]

+Mackenzie Burchard Also, the fender part next to the wheel well is pretty loose and I have checked to see if all of the bolts are in place, and they are...so I'm pretty sure that's where all of the noise is coming from. Do you have any ideas on how I can tighten it all up??

[@TheMustang298]

How do you take out the other tail lights that are attached to the trunk thanks

[@happywrenching]

You remove the trim that covers the inside of the trunk lid - it is held in with push pin clips. After the trim is out of the way, you will see the back of the lights. Take out the connector and remove the two nuts and you will be able to remove the lights.

[@TheMustang298]

Thanks

[@par_lyfe]

Do u have a video on tailight removal for 2005 mazda 6 S 5 door?

[@happywrenching]

+ulysses alayon Nope, I don't have anything for the wagon.

[@par_lyfe]

+happywrenching oh its not the wagon its the sedan i just dont know how to remove the cover panel

[@gxu6434]

very good video. I try to fix my rear bumber and change tail light. thanks a lot

[@heidygus05]

hey happy how are you i have a mazda 6 2008 i want to replace my bumper but i notice that im missing the 2 plastic clips in the bottom of the bumper. do you know of a place where can i get them. thanks

[@happywrenching]

Gustavo, I don't where you are located but if you live in the US then Lowes or Home Depot should have replacement clips. They usually have drawers with all kinds of clips, fasteners, and bolts. You can also buy them on eBay or other online stores - search for "mazda bumper fasteners".

[@heidygus05]

thanks happy for the answers and i do live in the u.s. thanks again

[@sayemahmed8869]

No problem, glad the video helped :)

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@alexnadrebou]

thx for the vid! (:

[@jessicaximin]

Is it possible to fit a Mazda Speed6 (MPS) bumper on a normal Mazda 6?

[@happywrenching]

Yes, they are interchangeable.

[@michaellonghurst7291]

Your us model has hard foam behind the bumper,my Aussie delivered one has a metal bar for the clips in the rear clip to....

[@MrB360thy]

Great video. Will really help me a lot. Have you ever split the lights apart and sprayed the chrome inside black.

[@DoseOfNuance]

If you are only here to see how to remove the tail light, it's from 1:11-2:33

[@gaborburanszki226]

thank you, it was a great help with the installation today

[@andrewarcila1066]

Does the mazda cx5 2016-21 model bumpers have any plastic mounting screws that hold it in place, besides from the ones you can remove with a flathead screwdriver?

[@oropezaanthonypillo2]

Excellent vidio..... Like it..... :)

[@colinr5189]

Does anyone know if you can reuse the clips/fasteners when putting on a new bumper after taking an old one off?

[@momoneyindabank4]

Mines came off in a collision, would I have to still take out my tail light to put a new one back on?

[@dannz2603]

Hey thanks Happy, I scratched up my girlfriends Marda6 rear bumper (yeah she knows) and you have just saved me a lot of trial and error in figuring out how to removing it. Thanks again for the very useful video. Dan

[@mayrah07]

thank you for this video!! :) I backed into a pole and it left a somewhat big dent on my rear bumper and this totally helped me remove the bumper so i could push the dent out! :D

[@zaharc4122]

Any suggestion on similar video, but for Mazda 6 Wagon???

[@TimBirchett2]

1:16 - 2:32

[@armstrong4196]

Well done and well explained. Keep the good content coming 👌.

[@chrischris4788]

Thanks for the vid and the tips Buddy

[@THESUBZILLA]

Thank you!

[@khompressor]

Can you do a video for the front headlight?

[@nicholashenson7816]

Had my driver side tail light busted out. Do you know any links where I can purchase a single one or do I have to purchase them in pairs?

[@happywrenching]

No you do not need to purchase them in pairs. Check out rockauto.com - they have a bunch of individual lamp assemblies. eBay is another way to go. If you want to purchase locally then you can use car-part.com to find local used auto parts places that carry them.

[@nicholashenson7816]

Thank you!

[@happywrenching]

You're welcome!
