2002 Mazda 6 Headlights — Purpose, Care, and Replacement Tips

Headlights are absolutely fitted to the 2002 Mazda 6 (GG/GY).

Replace in pairs so colour and brightness match. After refit, check beam height against a wall five metres away and tweak the adjusters if needed. If the car has factory HID, be cautious—there’s high voltage at the igniter
