So the reason why I'm asking this is cause I got conflicting data. Firstly, I have a 2019 CX-5 Grand Touring AWD, bought it brand new. I'm coming up on 5,000 miles. The service manual says to get an oil change and checkup at 7,500 miles. However, I just got an email from the dealership I...

I will get some good night shots when I can. Just generally speaking, is it possible to switch out the LED headlights, install new OEM ones, or even aftermarket better ones? Is it easy to do, or difficult, or not even possible?

Thank you, that is good to know about the black plastic housing. I too wonder if the LED lights are different at all. Is there anyway to find out exactly what LED's are used in each year car?

I have updated my photo album with close-up pictures of the headlights today, at the bottom of the album. Note that today is still a cloudy/rainy day, so it is cloudy outside, no sun out. When it clears up and is bright and sunny I'll take more pics in the sunlight...

Ok, here's all the pictures I have of my car right now, I took these the day I got it, note that it is in the shadows here. I need to take some better up close pics of the headlights in the sunlight, as well as at night so you can see them better. Right now it's a rainy day, but once it clears...

Mine is from Hiroshima I'll get pics when I can, raining outside right now

This might be my imagination, but I swear my headlights aren't as bright on my brand new 2019 white cx-5 grand touring compared to the previous 2018 grey cx-5 grand touring I had for a month. It almost seems like the plastic headlight casing is darker or tinted slightly, just not as clear as it...

Off Topic: I'm heading to Boone, NC at the end of October. I use to live there, graduated from Watauga High School in Boone.

Everyone is different, everyone's needs are different. I personally don't need the turbo on the CX-5. I'm not a race car driver, I don't take my car onto the track. I need a reliable, good powered, well drivable, good gas milleage car. Unlike many here, I actually feel the default engine...

Gotcha, then I made the right decision. Grand Touring with GT Premium Package comes with everything the Reserved and Signature has, minus the 360 camera and Turbo, so I'm good.

The decision to buy another CX-5 was an easy one. Before this, I went and test drove a lot of other cars. I was thinking maybe I'd like a Forester, or maybe the new RAV4 etc... However, after test driving them, and then driving my CX-5, I realized, I like the driving dynamics of hte CX-5 a LOT...

Thank you, I will enjoy it. Though I wanted to keep the cost down, I could still afford it brand new through the dealership. I wanted a brand new un-driven car for a change. I decided to just do it while I can. It's not like I'm stuck with it forever, but I do plan to drive it for a very...

Well it would have been more with the accessories + turbo. The fact is, I don't need the turbo. I feel the regular engine is powerful enough for me. It adds cost, and potential issues or more maintenance down the road. I plan to keep this car for a very long time. Also, the car did come...

It is unfortanate, I should mention I did try to fix the issues, and I did the official manufacturer recall on the cylinder deactivation issue. I had also got a new engine and cabin air filter, and tire rotation and had it looked over by the mechanic and even driven to see if there was anything...

So, don't make fun of me, but those that have followed some of my posts here have seen the trouble I've been having with my used 2018 CX-5 that I've had for 1 month now. Short story, I bought it from Carmax, it had 17K on it, I've put about 1500 miles on it since then, I've had it 1 month...
