The 2011 Mazda 3 was part of the same 3 generation produced from 2010 - 2013. 3's of this generation consist of the same major mechanical parts with only minor variations from year to year.
“Great! It saved me tons of time to read the manual and figure out how to do it right. ”
“Thank you for this! Used to get the Lube shop to put in a headlight when needed, and they charge a bunch compared to buying them at Canadian Tire. Only took minutes and both were done at a fraction of the cost. ”
“I've learned something new today. ”
“Thank you so much for your instruction it was very helpful. ”
“I did this tonight in my driveway, of course the last part was the biggest pain of them all. I had a doozy of a time getting the trim under the headlight to slide into those tabs the right way.

Man someone at Subaru needs a good kick in the pants for this design. You really shouldn't have to take apart the whole front end to change some bulbs. ”
