Car is mint for age. Stock oem hid style headlights failed, headlights are still clear. The turn signals failed and activated safetys. Ground plug under air filter assembly that is a piece of metal bolted to car with 5 wires that plug into it corroded so bad no ground connection and each of the wires made no connection to the plug. No info on how to diagnose and/or repair. Common problem. Took everything apart and soaked all corroded parts in a solution of CLR, everything put back together clean with dielectric grease. Numerous shops could not diagnose including 1 dealer. Said headlights needed to be replaced at $500+/ side parts only. Very common on the rare factory installed HID systems. Wiring is different.

The contact owns a 2006 Mazda 6. the contact stated that the headlights were very dim, which made it difficult to see the road at night while driving. Ourisman Mazda of rockville (located at 801 rockville pike, rockville, md 20852, 301-424-7800) replaced the headlight bulbs twice; however, the failure remained. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that they were unable to assist with the repair. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. The VIN was invalid.

The low beam headlights continue to go out. I have replaced them number of times. This is not just a problem with my car numerous mazda3 owners and Mazda6 owners are having this same problem. This is especially dangerous when the lights go out at night.

The low beam headlamps on my 2006 Mazda 6 have repeatedly gone out on my in the past year. Many times while driving. This last time I tried to replace the low beam headlamp and the bulb was not blown. I inserted the new bulb and it still doesn't work. This is a problem for Mazda 6's and 3's my parents are going on their 9 bulb in the Mazda 3. according to many Mazda forums this is a recurring problem for a number of other owners as well. This must be addressed driving at night is difficult enough but when your lights go out it makes it down right dangerous.
