I have a 05 6s ... and the housing right under the integrated fog lamps is starting to bubble up ... it had already happened and i took it to the dealer ... they determined the light were running too hot ... however its starting to happen again ... ive only had the car for 1 year and its very strange ...

i also found it strange that the dealer said Mazda determined thats "normal" ... but that would mean i would have to always get my housing changed

I was also thinking about switching the low beam and the fog light to HID ... what do you guys think ?

do you have aftermarket lights? and if so, what wattage are they?

never heard of such a thing... ive heard of side markers melting due to LED's and all sorts of wierd crap, but nothing stock. I dont think HID's run much cooler to telll u the truth though. But w/e keep having them swap it out i guess...

The stock H3 has been buring the inside of the housing since 03, H3's get very hot and sit to close to the housing. Here is another thread with another thread that I gave a link to.

I don't think switching to HIDs would help. I recall reading somewhere on this forum that HIDs run hotter than the regular bulbs. Can someone else back this up?

 

[bluelion]

actually they should run cooler.

I do remember this happening to a few other people, except they were 2003 model year.
