    I don't know if all Mazdas are the same but there doesn't seem to be a way to get to change the brake lights like at the boot on the sides where you can open it up and just change it easily.

    I have a Mazda2 Capella 04 reg, i can't find my camera cable and my laptop can't read SD cards so i cant take pictures but here's what it looks liek form Google

    My dad tried to find a way in so did my BF and he even tried to search on Google and nothing.
    Andybody know how to get to it? OR should I jsut take it to the garage and let them sort it out but then it will work out more expensive to le them do it >.<

    HELP!!!

    surely there should be an explanation or a way to get to the brake lights

    or take it to your dealer and than pay them ;)
    just open the trunk, go to the side that the light doesn't work, see if theres any screw inside the trunk (which there should be 3-5 screws holding the light). I'm not sure about the mazda 2, i'm guessing only though, due to my parent's Ford Windstar light is like that xD lol

    Where is your Car Manual that book you get when you got the car that will tell you everything about your car from top to bottom inside to outside....

    Try that...-rockon

    sorry girlie... i drive a mazda, just not this one :)

    although one would think it should just be a pop out, just open the hatch and pop out the cover with a flathead screwdriver...

    of course, living in England isn't as cheap as you think especially to someone who doesn't work full time and is in debt with her accounts due to uni

    at £40 an hour for labour, do this job yourself and save yourself getting ripped off...

    yes it should tell you in your owners manual, or ring up your local service dept and ask them

    or here is a good place to register and ask

    ask halfords dun they fix it for you for like £10 or something....i know they fix wipers for you....^^

    ^ lol wipers are easy. i might go to halfords and sort it out there, although the nearest one is like 20 minutes drive away,but im scared the fact they don't know how to change it and having to drive to the actual mazda place to do it and that could cost a bomb =,=
