Need to change headlight rods/bushings
I just checked mazdatrix and all four of them (2 short and 2 long) will be 128.00 + ship. Anyone ever order new ones? Wonder what the dealer will want for them?

bushings for headlight linkage
I think someone had said that they found some bushings for running electrical wires through a hole without chaffing that were a perfect fit to replace the hard plastic end bushings.
Hoefully he is still on this list and will provide the details.
A more involved, but potentially more permanent fix may be to replace the flat arms with threaded rods and heim joints.

They've gone up in price: a lot. JY arm bushings are usually so deteriorated that they crumble immediately. I wondered about electrical grommets but thought they'd bind too much. I have some extra arms without bushings so next time I'll try casting something like epoxy to form a bushing right on the arms: a few scraps of wood and a smoothshank rod or bolt ought to do the trick.
