  • Today I'm making a special video on how to replace the brake lights on a 2012 Mazda 6. I'm pretty sure the concept and steps apply to most vehicles. It's good practice to replace both brake lights at the same time. Don't forget brake lights act as a safety tool in preventing other drivers are rear ending you because it helps with depth perception.

    MAKE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES AS PROTECTION IN CASE BULB BREAKS BUT ALSO TO PREVENT CONTAMINATING THE BULB WITH OIL FROM THE FINGERS WHICH WILL CAUSE THE BULB TO OVERHEAT.

    If theres any point in my life i have to replace the brake lights of a mazda 6, i can only thank you jay rule for showing me how

      Cronicwisdom No problem man. I learned something too. Sometimes it's best to do it yourself than pay the dealership.

      The front lamps are a bit of a nightmare. It involves the wheel being off, with the wheel well cowling being partially removed to access the front lights & signal lamp. Prepare to spend at least 2 hours in good weather for the job. It requires patience & a strong steady hand.

    Thank you so much for making this video, a word of advice to anybody who’s having trouble getting the lining back in, the metal part that the hole is in for the lining is very bendable, so if you’re having trouble reaching the hole, mess with the metal flange a little bit and you can get it in the hole!

      I wish more police would do their job in the Seattle area because every time I drive I see cars with burnt out front or back lights. It's a total mess here.

    Thanks for the video. This made my life a lot easier. The only problem I had was finding the second brake light bulb socket. It took me a good two minutes before I realized the second brake light bulb I was seeing was a reflection. Derp.

    • @Jay_Rule
      @Jay_Rule  9 років тому

      sec713 Reflection off what? Anyway, I'm glad it worked out. The first time is always the hardest but subsequent turns will be easier. I assume you have a Mazda 6 too?

    • @sec713
      @sec713 9 років тому

      Jay Rule Yeah, I do. I was looking at the light fixture from behind the car, and the mirrors inside of the lamp enclosure make it look like there's two bulbs inside. As I started removing the bulb housing I figured it out, when I was pulling on one bulb housing, but it looked like two were coming out, if viewed from the rear.

    • @Jay_Rule
      @Jay_Rule  9 років тому

      sec713 I see what you mean. At least you figured it out. Is it working fine now? BTW, I got pulled over by the cops who gave me a warning.

    You don't need gloves unless you have baby hands.

    • @migueche20
      @migueche20 4 роки тому

      The gloves are for the lightbulb. If you touch the class you will leave oil spots on it from your fingers and creat heatspots which will reduce the lifetime of the bulb.

    • @Jay_Rule
      @Jay_Rule  2 роки тому

      It's to prevent getting oil onto the lightbulbs. It will burn out faster.
