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.

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.

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.
