Stock HIDs on the GT non-speed

[Raymo853]

I am tour between buying a Sport or Grand Touring Mazda 3 5 door for multiple variables. One are the headlights. Any opinions to offer on how the HIDs are on the GT 3? Also what about the adaptive and self leveling aspect?

I do like the other aspects of the GT (leather, power drivers seat, heated seats & mirrors) but don't care about some (LED tail lights, rain sensing blades, auto climate control) But the HIDs could so be something I love as my night vision in the rain has always been so bad.

They're pretty sweet if you ask me. I'd say well worth the upgrade.

On if Speed 3s have a GT trim, i would buy that in a heartbeat.

I ended up passing on the GT level and got a sport. Paying just 17,600 for a new cars was just too tempting. Almost seems crazy to me what level of car I got for so little money.

The steering headlights in the GT is cool. Freaky, but cool.

I settled for the i Sport instead of the Touring as well, 1. For the 2.0 over the 2.5 so i had better fuel efficiency, but mostly city driving and 2. i thought id miss the cruise controll, but i dont and never have the time to use it. 3. I installed my own HID's for fraction of the cost.

the auto leveling and the adaptive turning of the lights is definately awesome, but for a commuter car, i couldnt see spending the extra cash.

I have 6000k (brightest white you can get) the bulb type is H11. If you can get between 5000-5800k (k = kelvin, bulb color/brightness) then you will look almost completely stock. I settled for the 6000k cause thats all the dealer i bought mine off of had. I paid $80 for mine with 1 yr warranty, if you want the same deal, i can hook you up. Complete pnp, 15-20min install.
