2014 & 2015) Mazda CX-9 crossover SUV in replacing a burnt

A replacement bulb for the overhead map lights is part # DE3175 available from manufacturers such as Sylvania, Eiko, GE, Phillips and others.You can also use a brighter compatible DE3175 LED bulb. The only tool needed to replace the overhead map light bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver. Insert the blade of the screwdriver into the notch on the clear lens cover near the light switch buttons and gently pry it out. |
