Chris your videos have helped me keep my 1999 Mazda B300 on the road. Thanks. Last weekend a stone hit my driver's side headlight. After fighting for 15 minutes trying to remove the bottom connection. I discovered that a 5/8 six-point socket fits on perfectly to depress the tabs. Thanks.

One of the things that sets your videos apart is the excellent picture quality. It's much better than a typical video made with a cell phone that's fuzzy and jumps around. What kind of camera are you using and how do you keep the camera so stable?

The way to change a Ranger headlight is actually a little bit different from this.(I was restoring them using ChrisFixs headlight restoration vid ;)) I was actually surprised when I got to headlight because it did not have the little bolts with a clamp but rather two large clamps of each side that just need pulled up then the headlight is unlocked, a little easier than the b3000 since you don't have to go under the truck xD great video nonetheless

Two ways to change a headlight: 1) Do exactly as Chris shows here - go have yourself a beer. :) 2) Get carried off to the local sanitarium because you spent the last 2 hours screaming on the driveway because you bought one of those cars which you have to take off the entire front clip just to get to the headlight....!! Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything...heheheh... Um...good video btw. I need to go sit down apparently...

Chris did you push on the headlight to help remove the retainer clips? The reason I'm asking is mine (99 B4000) are incredibly tough to get out. I've tried pliers, needle nose pliers, snap ring pliers on the holes and have had no luck. I finally got one top clip to come off with much force and a regular set of pliers. I ordered a T-handled hook for removing brake springs and clips to aid with the removal, and am waiting for it to come in but darn! These things are really secure. That's why I'm asking about pushing on the front of the headlight. I haven't tried it yet but I suspect that might relieve some of the tension. BTW, my retaining clips are not rusted to the body as they will move (spin) with force in place. The reason I'm removing them is I purchased replacement headlights and side marker turn signal lenses. TIA for your answer.

Camry le You need to run projector lenses to use a brighter bulb, I am doing a projector retrofit on the old lenses and making new lenses. Dont worry, there will be videos of everything!!

Camry le LEDs are actually really hard to use as headlights. The problem with LEDs is that they LOOK bright, but they actually aren't. In terms of light output, the original halogens often tend to be brighter, even if they don't look like it. If all you need is to make a lens look brighter, LEDs are perfect. Not the case with headlights. It's the light OUTPUT that matters. High-power halogens have quite a bit of that, and the reflector is specifically designed to aim it into usable light. LEDs don't handle heat very well, so feeding more power into them is really hard. The setup needs strict power control and convoluted heatsinks, which usually makes them really freakin' expensive. It CAN work, but it ain't pretty. That's why xenon bulbs tend to make better HIDs.

My blinkers stopped working along with my hazards earlier today. When I put on my turn signal (both ways) i get no clicking and no arrow on my dashboard, also when I put on my hazards I get no flashing lights. Could this be my blinker relay switch?

+McPePsii It could be the multi-function switch as well. Check the bulbs to make sure they are good. Also check the fuse.

Looks great. Did you use a headlight assembly from Mazda or after market. The reason I ask is that one headlight reviewer on another website said that aftermarket headlight optics are not up to par with original equipment. For my 2006 Honda Accord I can get right and left headlight assemblies off Ebay for about $85 and claimed to be OEM, but from auto parts stores they start at about $230 for both assemblies. Of course dealer price is over 500 for right and left retail, discounted to about $360 at HondaPartsNow.com. The Ebay of one seller says they are OEM, but I know there are several definitions of what that means. I know I have gone off the restoration subject to a large degree and I'll understand if you don't want to get into all that.

BAYOUMAN I went aftermarket because the original equipment was something like $250 each! I wouldnt buy them off ebay, I would try a reputable parts store that has a warranty such as *****. That is where I got mine! Ebay OEM is some guy who cannot speak English saying they are oem so he can sell them. Ebay is good for somethings, but aftermarket headlights has always been a bust for me and my friends. You might find a good pair of used Honda headlights from a scrap yard or something on ebay.

BAYOUMAN NP man! Also, if you cant find any headlights that are cheap enough, it might be worth the risk on Ebay. Just gotta think about it. Lets say the ebay headlights last you 5 years while good OEM lasts you 10yrs or so. If the price is half, then it might be worth a shot. Obviously you wont know how long ebay headlights will last, but maybe you can find one with a warranty... Just food for though!

Chris got aftermarket headlights from a company called "DEPO". They are well known for making OEM "Style" replacement headlights. I would say they are one of the best aftermarket companies for fit and finish. But yes, actual OEM equipment is always best.

How's about a video on how to replace a HL bulb on a Mazda 3? Should be simple huh? It's a nightmare. My GF has one and there is this ridiculous retaining wire that seems impossible to fit. Why would they engineer something like that when a perfectly fine functional system exists already?
