Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / February 2008Headlight lamp
I am so stupid I cannot get the lamp out of the socket on my 1998 Miata. It does not seem to twist out and there appears to be no retaining ring. There are clips but you cannot get to the one on the fender side. I have had some bad experience breaking these clips off in the past. Can someone give an old guy any suggestions > I am so stupid I cannot get the lamp out of the socket on my 1998 > Miata. It does not seem to twist out and there appears to be no > retaining ring.

Can someone give an old guy any suggestions If you're State side and get the bulb at AutoZone, those PPL are usually so helpful, one will come out and either do it for you or advise you how. Good Luck!!! > I am so stupid I cannot get the lamp out of the socket on my 1998 > Miata. It does not seem to twist out and there appears to be no > retaining ring.

Can someone give an old guy any suggestions Once you do it it will seem simple, but not until! http://groups.google.com/group/rec.autos.makers.mazda.miata/browse_thread/thread /79fbd7ec7c35e6fe/188adcdb4639954f?lnk=st&q=wdk+%22rec+autos+makers+mazda+miata% 22+headlight#188adcdb4639954f Wow that's an ugly URL. I'll cut and paste what I wrote before: > The problem I had with the headlight bulb was > simple, but I'll spell it out for the next guy [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > you're done, a two-minute no-tools-necessary job > once you know how. Make sure you don't actually touch the glass part of the new bulb with your fingers, as allegedly the tiny amount of skin oil on your fingertips is enough to screw up the super-hot bulb in operation.

Yup, cause halogen can not be touched by us toxic humanoids :-). |
