How do you change the headlight bulb on a 1997 Mazda Protege?
Much like the Volvo, you need a dealship tool to remove. Another way to make money off of aftermarket parts. The tool alone for the Volvo headlight assembly is $100.00. That's rediculous. just hope the tool isn't as much and hope the headlamp isn't much but will likely be even more than the tool itself
Rick C.M, of Michigan
so what is the answer? how do you chang the light bulb?
ANOTHER POSSIBILITY:
I own a 1997 Mazda Protege DX and changing the headlight bulb is relatively simple. Mine took a replacement bulb number 9003 I used silverstar bulbs (they are bright but burn out fairly quickly) I seem to replace them yearly...however I drive about 2 hours each day and use my lights whether it is day or night.
So I change my bulbs by:
1. Pop the hood and locate the back of the headlight assembly,
2. The electircal wire that clips onto the back of the build can be removed by squeezing the tab on the clip and pulling the wire straight off toward the rear of the car
3. At this point you should now view the 3 prongs of the bulb protruding slightly through a black protective rubber dust cover.....There is a rubber "tab" on the cover that you grab and carefully pull back to remove the cover, then place cover aside
4. Now you should be able to see the back of the bulb, which is held in place by a horizontal "U" shaper wire, the wire is hindged at one side and latched at the other. To unlatch locate the end that is held by tension under a small hook.
5. Use forefinger to lightly depress and remove wire from behind small hook and the "swing" the U-shaped wire like a small door open exposing the bulb
6. Grasp the prong of the build and remove bulb.
***IMPORTANT, examine the "dead bulb" and practice inserting it a couple of times, with the 3 metal guide-wings aligned correctly into the slots....you do not want to bump the new bulb on any part of the car when installing and be careful to not touch the glass with your fingers or your will dramatically shorten your bulb life.
7. Grasp new build by one of the prongs insert into the back of the headlight assembly..just how you practiced > Close the U-shaped metal "door" > Latch the door and ensure the latch is in place securely > Replace rubber dust cover, snap electircal wire back on and you are set.
This may sound difficult but takes less than 10 minutes (5 if you have done it before).

How do you replace headlight on Mazda protege 1995?
To replace headlight on 1995 Mazda Protégé
It really does only take about 10 minutes or less. I suggest a mirror to see the assembly. Also have a good flashlight or trouble light.
All directions are as if you are standing on the side of the car, NOT facing the car.
There are tabs on the side of the connector. Push in on the tabs of the connector. Pull gently on the connector, you may need to barely wiggle to get it off. Leave hanging.
Remove large round ring turning counterclockwise, "lefty lucy" (from the back).
Next is the rubber protector. The rubber does pull off, carefully remove it. Note that the tab is on top.
Unhook the retainer clip. The secret is to use the mirror and look for the side that is the "hook" side of the retainer clip. Push the hook side in and up, this is not hard and can be done gently. It is very simple once you have used the mirror and found the hook side. Note that the "hook side" it is on a side, not top or bottom.
Simply push the retainer clip to the side and remove the bulb. The retainer clip does not come off, just hangs there.
Remove the old bulb.
Don't touch the new bulb your fingers, only the connector side. The oil on skin is not good for the bulb.
Replace the bulb, with the flat on top. It is a little tricky to keep the retainer clip back when inserting the bulb but not hard.
Rehook the retainer clip.
Replace rubber protector, tab on top.
Screw the ring back on, "righty tighty".
Plug the connector back in. Test low and high beams.
It really only took me about 10 minutes the first time and 5 minutes the second time (once since I knew what I was doing).
How do you replace the alternator belt on a 2000 Mazda Protege?
Remove alternator/water pump belt on Mazda Protégé 2000 DX 1.6L engine with A/C. This involves removing the A/C and power steering belt first. You'll need a 10, 12 and 14 mm box end wrenches and/or sockets.
- Jack up car on passenger side front or drive onto ramps. Secure automobile in a safe condition.
- Remove right hand air shield under car, so that you have clear access to underside of engine on right side
- Locate pully tensioner on A/C and loosen three bolts: tensioner bolt, bolt on the slider and the bolt on the pivot point. This last bolt may be hidden behind the A/C pulley.
- If the A/C pump does not drop of it’s own accord, use a piece of wood and a rubber mallet to move it down enough to remove the outer belt.
- Locate the pully tensioner on the alternator and loosen the tensioner bolt and the bolt on the alternator slider. The alternator pivot bolt is under the alternator, on the inside of the alternator. It can be reached from the bottom, above the axle half-shaft
To install, just reverse the process. It took me about 3 hours total.
Probably have a warped or out of round brake rotor or brake drum.
