Thanks for posting this. Those two hidden clips would have caused me no end of grief. Note there are 10 screws on the bottom (not 8 like mentioned in the video) on my 2016. Also, it may be possible to replace the headlight assembly without completely taking the bumper cover off - there are no screws holding in the headlight assembly from the front - just one on the side under the bumper cover, one on top, and one next to the that long white clip that holds the bumper cover (the last two pulled off in the video). But I took it all off because I wasn't sure, and this video helped a lot. Thanks!
This was an OUTSTANDING video! I have a 2021 and it is essentially unchanged from your procedure. I think we just have a couple more screws. The most critical thing to watch when disassembling is the wiring harnesses (I had two on each side) that go to where fog lights would be. Even if you don't have an option installed the harnesses will still be there. You'll rip the wires from the sockets if you aren't careful.
Thanks buddy for taking the time to upload this. I had to remove the headlights for one of my customers so that he could have them buffed shiny again. This not only save me time but help me from having to find all the little tabs, or worship break something. Thanks again.
I have a 2013 model. This is a great video, very intuitive. I thank you for that. Video quality was great and very clear to look at. Step by step tutorial is so important.
Thanks for putting this video up! I just installed HIDs and couldn't get the drive side bulb back in. The space was just too tight. Your video made it so easy and a lot less intimidating. Weird that you have to take the whole front of the car off to get to the headlight assembly. Thanks again!
Thank you for video, my wife's 2016 w/ adaptive cruise control suffered a bird strike destroying the center grill emblem. I am pretty handy but figuring the removal of front end would have led to marital strife. Thanks again
Great video. Mazda definitely did not put much thought into the headlight replacement process. I should not have to remove my entire front bumper to replace a headlight assembly. The LED daytime lights stopped working.
Excellent video ! 👍This allowed me to handle pulling the bumper to replace my window wash reservoir which was holed when I hit a turkey. Sadly I found a crack 2in long in the bumper under my headlight at the same time but I guess it's not bad for a 50mph strike. 😒
Just what I was looking for. Want to install mesh screen behind grill to block large objects from hitting radiator on 2016 CX-5. More amazed at gloves. Mine would of been shredded by the second clip.
Hello, I have a 2013 Mazda CX-5, and I was wondering since it didn’t come with Fog Lights, do you know if the wiring is already there to add them in later?
Would you by any chance be able to make a video showing how to install a mesh guard onto the grill and gutter guard? I have a 2016 cx5 and both the grill and gutter guard are wide open so rocks and bugs can just go flying in there. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This is a good place to go: www.carparts.com/search?q=bumper_cover_2014_Mazda_CX-5_Touring&vehicle[year]=2014&vehicle[make]=Mazda&vehicle[model]=CX-5&vehicle[submodel]=Touring&vehicle[cylinders]=4&vehicle[liter]=2%2E5 I one time got a tail light and the product was awesome, third the cost of an original part.
Can you get access to behind the grille without going to all that extreme ? I just want to put on my old AA badge onto grille so need access to rear of it to attach retaining bracket.
Hi great video! Wondering if it’s possible to install a 2015 cx5 grille onto at 2012 cx5? Some clown wrecked my grille and wouldn’t mind an upgraded look
very good ! thank you . do you know if replacing the headlight requires removing the bumper even partially? regarding battery disconnection... i believe it is woth the efforts keeping the voltage for the engine computer in order not to lose all the history of your driving style and fuel consumption that the engine computer is keeping as well as other valuable info that the engine computer is storing along the way .
Need new clips for the back corner cover under the left rear bumper undercover and for the wheel protector trim that meets the bumper area. Mazda CX5 16 what part numbers would they be. Some had 4 curves like design on their top
Do-able but a pain in the ass for a light replacement... or am I missing something? I think its sad that these well-engineered cars have all this plastic in the front to take the brunt of what might otherwise be a scuff mark on a real bumper. Everything will crack. That sucks. Otherwise I like these cars. It's just jaw-dropping that the front-end is so cheap.
ну наконец нашёл видео как разобрать был бы перевод хотя бы титры ващё было бы pliz как снять фары в переди и и плафоны на задке хотя наверно не поймут может кто снимал как снимать буду благодарен заранее спасибо
serg jay that just keeps the liability of something going wrong- like air bag activation (for some wierd freak accident). I wouldn't think it mattered. But, if I were to not do it and the air bag go off for some reason, the liability is on me..not him. CYA.
yeah no im starting to think $250 might be worth it to pay to replace my fog lights i will have to ductape this back together afterwards if i try this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So why was the autobody guy quoting me for 4 hours of labor to replace my front bumper when you have clearly done removing and installing in 10 minutes. Crooks or what?
You forgot to show removal of the headlight. Also I am having trouble figuring out where to set the whole radiator support (core support) with the radiator, condenser, and fan assembly all installed out of the car. I am rebuilding a total. I am use to seeing a metal Core Support in the front to BOLT all of this stuff to. But with this CX5 (2015) I am not seeing anything to set all of this assembly on to support it. It seems that all the Mazda has is just plastic to support all of this assembly weight. ?????? Let alone when it is filled. 417-300-5990 Joe @ Autoworld. Thank you greatly

7 years later you still helped me out! Thanks for the great video man
Thanks a lot, man! Great video with all the details!!!! I was scared to start without understanding what is inside.
Thanks buddy for taking the time to upload this. I had to remove the headlights for one of my customers so that he could have them buffed shiny again. This not only save me time but help me from having to find all the little tabs, or worship break something. Thanks again.
Thanks to your video I was able to replace the chrome grill trimming that was dented on my 2015 Mazda 6. Saved $200 on dealer labor cost.
Excellent video! Step by step and clearly showing the items to watch out for. A+!!
Thanks for the great vid! It helped me a ton with installing the wife's new head lights this morning.
I have a 2013 model. This is a great video, very intuitive. I thank you for that. Video quality was great and very clear to look at. Step by step tutorial is so important.

It's not easy and there might be some cussing involved, but it is possible to do without removing the headlight.
I'm changing the headlights on my 2015 and this video was exactly what i needed.Thank you Mr. happywrenching
I have to do that soon to my wife's did you go with OEM headlights or aftermarket?
Dont forget the reconnect the fog lights!! great vid, made it less intimidating
Thanks for posting this. This will help me with installing 2 new headlamp assemblies for my 2013 CX5
Video of very good quality that leaves no doubt how to disassemble the bumper.
Thank you very much, it was very useful.
Continue the good work.
Thank you for video, my wife's 2016 w/ adaptive cruise control suffered a bird strike destroying the center grill emblem. I am pretty handy but figuring the removal of front end would have led to marital strife. Thanks again
Great video! Thank you! Saved a lot of time. The 2016 has a fog light harness retaining clip on both sides.
Great video. Mazda definitely did not put much thought into the headlight replacement process. I should not have to remove my entire front bumper to replace a headlight assembly. The LED daytime lights stopped working.
Is there no way to replace the headlight without messing with the bumper???
Thanks for a great video! I was able to replace the grille from watching this video! 👍
Excellent video ! 👍This allowed me to handle pulling the bumper to replace my window wash reservoir which was holed when I hit a turkey. Sadly I found a crack 2in long in the bumper under my headlight at the same time but I guess it's not bad for a 50mph strike. 😒
Thanks for posting, I'll be using your instructions to remove the bumper from my 2015 CX-5.
Thank you so much, I needed to change the ambient temperature sensor and your video was very helpful!
Thank you so much for this video! I safely removed and reinstalled and it took about 10 minutes each. Very helpful!!!
+Duncan Smith That's the kind of feedback I like to hear :)
super super , ze jest ktos kto nagrywa takie filmy. Są one bardzo pomocne. good job, thanks for the film, helped me
This really helped me out. Thanks for making this video.
Thank you for this video! This helped me a lot to be able to change my head lights

Super!!! Thank you!!! I need to change a parking sensors.
Thanks for posting...Really helpful
1:19 story of my wrenching life. I would have already been pissed at that point.
I was also happy to see that it not only happens to me :)
I got it 👍 thanks . I like your video . In two weeks I'll be using what I learned.
Hi is it necessary to remove the entire bumper in order to replace the black plastic not underneath but on the end of the bumper.
is it replace grill also need to remove the whole mazda cx5 bumper?
Mazda must have hired a Lego engineer!
Awesome video. Thanks for the great instructions
Just what I was looking for. Want to install mesh screen behind grill to block large objects from hitting radiator on 2016 CX-5.
More amazed at gloves. Mine would of been shredded by the second clip.
+Bruce A I went through 5 or 6 pairs doing this job :)
Hello, I have a 2013 Mazda CX-5, and I was wondering since it didn’t come with Fog Lights, do you know if the wiring is already there to add them in later?
Thank God I found this video coz that looks like a pain in the ass to deal with lol
terima kasih video nya .
Excellent video! Thanks a lot!
are they all the same size? the 2013 & up?
Would you by any chance be able to make a video showing how to install a mesh guard onto the grill and gutter guard? I have a 2016 cx5 and both the grill and gutter guard are wide open so rocks and bugs can just go flying in there. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Just wondering how much is the cost of the cx5 bumper assembly 😬....
This is a good place to go:

Can you get access to behind the grille without going to all that extreme ? I just want to put on my old AA badge onto grille so need access to rear of it to attach retaining bracket.
Where would be the best place to get a replacement bumper?
Once the bumpber is off, the black painted trim piece above the grille, can that be removed from grille? Does the whole grille need to be replaced?
Hi great video! Wondering if it’s possible to install a 2015 cx5 grille onto at 2012 cx5? Some clown wrecked my grille and wouldn’t mind an upgraded look
I’m replacing my front bumper on my 2013 cx5.. does the grill detach from the original bumper? Or do I need to order the grill as well?
is 2016 the exact same?
great video
very good ! thank you . do you know if replacing the headlight requires removing the bumper even partially? regarding battery disconnection... i believe it is woth the efforts keeping the voltage for the engine computer in order not to lose all the history of your driving style and fuel consumption that the engine computer is keeping as well as other valuable info that the engine computer is storing along the way .
It's no fun, but I was able to change my HID bulbs without removing them.
Brilliant
Great job...
Do you need to completely remove the front bumper cover to change the 16 Mazda CX-5 DRL LED Projector Headlight
Why is it best to disconnect the battery ??
Hi, do you know is this is pretty much the same for 2017+ CX 5s?
Need new clips for the back corner cover under the left rear bumper undercover and for the
wheel protector trim that meets the bumper area. Mazda CX5 16 what part numbers would they be. Some had 4 curves like design on their top
Gracias!!
Hi, just wondering do you know if the 2013 CX-5 Sport model have a prewired system for after market fog lights?
Hey! great video thank you! I'm guessing the layout is fairly similar to a 2014mazda 6? Thank you again!
I'm not sure about the 2014 Mazda 6, maybe someone else can answer that.
no problem, i'll probably give it a try this weekend and will either try to video or report. thanks for the start
Very nice work, very informative
Please whats the name of this clips you are removing from the bumpers? Thanks
Hi. May removal front grille wihout removal bumper?
go ahead, try the physically impossible and let me know how it goes. i have to change the grill too
why did you have to disconnect the battery?
I'm paranoid about the airbag system going off. I have peace of mind knowing the electrical system is disconnected.
Awesome, thanks
thank you
Nice work
Just crashed my car it’ll save some time 😂 thank you
Please do the same video for 2018 CX5...
Can I upgrade this bumper to CX 5 model 2020?
wish there was a right fender removal video

You are aware that they edited the video... Right? Not saying your autobody guy may or may not have billed ya extra but just sayin
Wish me luck.

Thank you greatly
you need to do all these to remove the emblem ? fuck me
complicated
Kills me watching this guy pop clips that go bouncing into the engine bay. That's why you bought the tripod bro. Use 2 hands lol.
does all 2013-2016 have the same fit for bumpers?
great video.
