This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the third generation (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018)
Mazda Mazda6 sedan in changing a burnt out cargo area light bulb in
the trunk. Owners of other Mazda vehicles such as the Mazda2, Mazda3, Mazda5, CX-3, CX-5, CX-7, CX-9, and the MX-5 Miata may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The compatible replacement miniature wedge base light bulb part number is 194. The compatible part number might instead be the smaller sub-miniature wedge base # 74 bulb. Please double check your original bulb before ordering a new one. The part number may vary depending on the model year and where the vehicle was manufactured. If you would like to have a brighter cargo area light, install a 194 LED bulb. The only tool needed to access and replace the trunk light bulb is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool. |

Lens Cover Removed |
Old Light Bulb Exposed |
Insert the blade of
the small flathead screwdriver or the plastic
pry bar tool in between the edge of
the lens cover and the metal trunk roof panel. Gently pry off the translucent plastic lens cover and set it aside in a safe place. Be careful when you remove the old light bulb. If it was recently turned on, it might still be hot enough to burn your fingers. |

Empty Bulb Socket |
Pull
the old light bulb straight out of the socket. The OEM bulb was marked as Toshiba part number A14V3W. |

Push In New # 74 Bulb |
Line Up Plastic Cover |
Push the new
194 light bulb straight in to the
socket. If you would like to have a brighter trunk light, install a compatible replacement 194 LED bulb. Attention: The compatible part number might instead be the smaller sub-miniature wedge base # 74 bulb. Line up the plastic lens cover. |

Pop On Lens Cover |
Test New Trunk Light Bulb |
Snap the lens cover
back into place. If the new light bulb didn't illuminate as soon as you pushed it in to the socket, test it by pressing the "Unlock" button on the key fob to activate the interior lights. Be sure to write down the bulb change in your vehicle's service records. For more,
