My 08 Mazda5 touring just had its second headlight go out in a month. (Halogens, not HIDs) It is barely 2 years old. I havent seen too many posts here about the 5's having this problem, so I wanted to see how many others have been experiencing this.
The first one to go was the drivers side low beam, and that was about 3 weeks ago. Still under warranty so I didn't have to deal with it. The dealership fudged it at first by not geting the clip tight so the bulb wasnt seated and not putting out a beam at all. Had to go back and get them to fix it, since i spent 15 minutes trying myself to no avail. (i think they bent it the stupid retaining clip or something) they did fix it, and everything was better until today i noticed the passenger side low beam out. dammit!
Now, I always run my headlight and fog lights on. It is just something I always do. It is a safety thing for me. So far, my fogs havent burned out.
Just find it funny they would both burn out so close to each other.
So... anyone else have this problem with their 5?
