>> 2010 Mazdaspeed3 HEADLIGHT BAKE & PAINT!!! **Photos & Video!**

[DarkSpeed3]

The dealer told me the MS3 GT will have the LEDs next year. As i mentioned in another thread I tried buying the LEDs for the GT from Mazda and they told me the "wattage is different and will void your warranty". They called into MazdaUSA HQ and verified. So Im waiting for aftermarket, screw em.

Dark, you should paint that silver garnish around the fog lights as well. That sticks out so much more now with the headlights done. Awesome work!

 

[DarkSpeed3]

Thanks. Ya I will be painting those when I do the horn upgrade soon.

The gaudy chrome headlamps was one of my biggest gripes about the styling on the 2010. I can live with the smile, but the lamp design is pathetic.

Looks absolutely fantastic.
I want to do mine. Do the high beams still shine bright?

Thanks. They (the high beams) shine bright to oncoming drivers, but the light output while driving is fairly poor. The HIDs I have put out more than enough light for me to ever want high beams. The low beam light output has not been effected in any way since theyre projectors and dont rely on the housing for reflection.

oh you 2010 boys and your fancy headlights haha jk. just browsing in uncharted territory... looks great man, i wasnt a big fan of the 2010 but seeing them in person and in so many pictures, really grows on me, especially that big scoop, but since i have an FMIC it doesnt do me nearly as much good... regardless, the lights look great man!

 

[DarkSpeed3]

Thanks blackdragon.... yea I didnt like the new speed3 when I first saw it. It grew on me too... and now that I did the headlights I love it much more. Was a fun lil project. I wish I could do the tail lights the same way....

I think that is how most ppl are with the 2010 ms3,At first i was not liking the front bumper. however i liked the headlights and taillights right away. Now that bumper is one of my favorite things about it. (cool)
