No problem sm1ke, will do! Now if only I could wrap up my day at work. 6 more hours to go lolCan you take a picture of the license plate light lenses, from the outside of the car?

Sweet! Which bulbs did you go for the turn signal lights? This is probably next on my stuff to do.
Are your backup lights still working?Thanks for the great write up, sure made it easy going. I used these bulbs from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) Hope they last. They sure are bright!
Well, the bulbs I used for my reverse light LED replacements are finally starting to kick the bucket after 5 years of problem free use. No surprise that they didn't live up to their claimed 50,000 hour lifespan, lol. I contacted the seller on Amazon to see if they offer a warranty but I don't have high hopes. Never hurts to ask though.
Mic drop lot easier to follow then the manual(drinks)
I would say pop one out and take a look i am not sureWould the manual state if the "Reverse Lights" are LED or otherwise? I have a 2021 CX9
How about the Load Resistor type? Would I need that?I would say pop one out and take a look i am not sure
Read back thru there is a couple links to bulbs others used, really depends on the bulb most have them built inHow about the Load Resistor type? Would I need that?
Wouldn't all vehicles of the same model year have the same type of lighting in the reverse and rear taillights? Is it possible that by 2021, Mazda decided to go with ALL LED lights? If that's the case, then I wouldn't need to replace them at all, right? The problem with looking at what someone did with a 2015 CX9 is not the same as a 2021 CX9 model and so on. So I guess I'm asking if Mazda used any incandescent bulbs in my model year.Read back thru there is a couple links to bulbs others used, really depends on the bulb most have them built in
I am unsure the easiest way to figure it out would be to film your lights if led they will flicker if incendesent they wont. My 2019 cx9 is all led except for the reverse lamps which are incendecents.Wouldn't all vehicles of the same model year have the same type of lighting in the reverse and rear taillights?

Did you ever get hyper flashing?I am unsure the easiest way to figure it out would be to film your lights if led they will flicker if incendesent they wont. My 2019 cx9 is all led except for the reverse lamps which are incendecents.
My pick up truck is all incendacent except for the turn lights and brake lights which are all LED. Honestly not sure why.
But best option set your phone up behind your mazda press record and cycle thru your lights.
And you meed to be looking thru a screen as the camera lense will catch e
the tell tale flickef of LED
Mine are still factory. Havent had an issue yetDid you ever get hyper flashing?

Thanks for the response. But will I need the anti-hyperflash circuit board with those LEDs? It's not something I want to test by just popping a few LED bulbs in and see if I bought the correct ones?Well, for one thing, the 2015 was the first generation of the CX-9, so almost everything about it is different from the second generation. But you're right. For example, my 2018 has incandescent license plate lights, while @Agape_365's 2019 is the first year Mazda made them LED.
It should be easy enough to pop the access cover out and check the bulb itself, unless they changed that over the years as well.

Just so we are on the same page, you're referring to the LED bulbs that are "CANBUS error-free" as stated in the description. Here's what I found that is supposedly compatible with my 2021 CX9 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) Edit: these are for the Rear Turn Signal Tail light replacements. I know there is also the Reverse Backup replacement to do. The link you gave me says those LEDs are NOT compatible with Mazda 2021cx9 but ARE compatible with 2018 CX9 vehicles. So it looks like some Mazdas need the IC driver and perhaps more load resistors and other models do not. Would you agree?Oops, I meant to mention that as well. I think that if you want to be sure, you should get the ones with the resistors just to be safe, while keeping in mind that these units are usually larger in some way. My turn signal LEDs have the anti-hyperflash resistors built into the bulb and they are a bit longer than the bulb they replaced. The reverse light LED bulbs that I use do have the resistors built in, I think. Here's a link.
