they work just fine and they should be the ones you use anyway! or are you refering to a different type i.e. platinum, iridium?

i think i got mine at pepboys, just make sure you do them one at a time or mark your wires so you don't hook them up wrong I think that could cause some problems

Leading is the top ones, and bottom ones are trailing.

Bad info

Honest mistake.

I'm looking at the owner's manual and the tops are trailing and bottom are lower.

Ya think Mazda made it this way to be fool-proof? (T/trailing/top, L/Lower/leading)

Anyway, just got them from Napa today @30 dollars


Okay, so you know, blue is for top. black is the bottom (on my plug wires)


I wrapped the left L and T wire with tape so I could remember Left or Right.


Take all the wires off if you can remember for 100% sure so you can free up some much needed space.

I also have a set of br10eix iridiums. The factory style plug only goes to heat range 9. You will need a thinner walled spark plug socket to install these plugs
