    HID fogs finally installed

    Pic-heavy Follow Up!!! Follow up here (sorry about the large pics - I resized but it didn't work as desired). I got a new HID kit for my high beams and finally got them installed. They are 4300K so very similar to the stock ones, although not in a projector lens. Here's the high-beam/low-beam...

    HID fogs finally installed

    The ones in mine are HB4 9005 I believe. But you have to be careful as there are two types - type A and type B. These are type B and the round fog lights are type A. Check out your manual for more info.

    HID fogs finally installed

    Hey all, So I finally got my HID fogs installed and they look great! I had ordered HID's for both my high beams and my fogs, but ordered the wrong type for my fogs, and we were already on a roll, so just decide to re-order for my high-beams and install the fogs. It was a super easy...

    2010 Mazda Axela?

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is it. The finance guy at one of my dealers showed me a pic of the new 6 and it looked just like a mini CX7 so I'm sure they'll trend the 3 toward this body style as well. Makes it look a heck of a lot bigger. But I like the look of it.

    Does your ash tray stay on

    Mine does this too and it drives me crazy. It isn't as noticeable when the ashtray is in because there's a red filter/film over the bulb, but then you don't get as much storage space. Has anybody purchased the ashtray insert? Does it have the red filter/film on it as well?

    Interior LEDs? Where to buy? Which ones?

    Are all of the LED replacements just plug and play? Or is there any kind of crazy wiring/converting needed? I am specifically interested in replacing the reverse lights, the license plate lights, and the interior dome lights (maybe more if I really like it). Has any body gone behind the dash...

    Check out the other threads - specifically the 'horrible crunching/squeaking noise' one. It, and possible remedies, have been discussed at length there.

    Edmonton Dealers - the rundown

    Well, I visited all of the dealers in the area. Here goes: Sundance: the salesman from my first visit ~9 months ago still remembered me - that was a shock! He seemed to know the most about all the issues I brought up (cowl creak, suspension issues, etc.), and he had a lot of media info from a...
