    CONFIRMED: 2016 LED tails & fogs will fit previous!

    Confirm it ONLY when it is mounted into place, not just exterior lens dimensions... Not that I'm saying it won't fit, but only speaking from previous experience. Mazda has a habit of changing housing mount and bowl dimensions, which means the sheet metal behind the light isn't exactly the...

    ddm hids for non-xenon cx-5

    Yup, great move. I've been tempted to get a set for my girlfriend's 2015 non-tech. Only thing stopping me is the fact that it is a lease.

    2016 Mazda CX-5 - What do you not like?

    That I haven't tried. Thanks for the tip! GF has it nice. She opted for the remote starter in her 2015. I'm here being a cheap ass.

    ddm hids for non-xenon cx-5

    Not sure if there's an actual difference between the large and slims in terms of output. I had the basic digital slim. Don't get me wrong though. Granted they're one of the best PnP HID kits for under $80, they are still crap. No way I would run them as low beams. I had a few issues with one of...

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    I still remember the factory HID's of that gen Maxima being a huge theft issue. Such a big issue that news channels notified the public of it.

    The doors won't lock while the doors are open. Tried and failed in the past :(

    ddm hids for non-xenon cx-5

    Try 5000k 35w for DDM if you want a perfect match with factory HID. I had their 5000k 35W H11's in my RX-8's foglights and it matched the OEM 4300k Phillips D2S damn perfect. DDM overrates their kelvin.

    If he's a real engineer, he would give us an FEI on it.

    2016 Mazda CX-5 - What do you not like?

    The Bi-Xenons/HID's in all my cars (and past) never melted ice either.

    It would be a good way to maintain the ability to change vehicle settings when the headunit is swapped.

    Mirror Vibration fixed by UPDATED Mirrors DESIGN!! WHOSE DON'T IT

    She has the 2015 Touring while I have the 2013 GT. I mentioned wind noise specifically, not road noise. There is no difference in wind noise between our cars. Even though our cars have a bit of road and wind noise, most of it is from the tailgate section and rear wheel wells. Of course the four...

    Mirror Vibration fixed by UPDATED Mirrors DESIGN!! WHOSE DON'T IT

    I have the old style 2013-2014 mirror. The driver side is starting to vibrate (which I'll bring in to take care of one day). Girlfriend's 2015 CX-5's "new style" mirror is rock steady, but ZERO difference in noise.

    delete rear Mazda symbol

    Since the trim has a half circle cut out for the rear emblem, wouldn't it seem out of place without the Mazda emblem there? As if something is missing (which it will be).

    2016 Lights on Older models

    The LED headlights might be a hard one to swap. Not sure of the PWM (Pulse Width Module) and control unit is integrated into the housing. I doubt it, especially since it now has high-beam control. I would like to see someone be able to swap it. Taillights seem like one of the easier swaps...

    What would you get on new CX-5 with 50% on accessories?

    All-weather mats (including rear cargo mat) is an absolutely necessity. Especially with the type of carpet we have.

    Is the setting for AFS (Adaptive Frontlight System) linked to High-beam Control in the 2016's?

    Electric hum sound when car is in 'ON' position.

    Given the amount of electronics, modern cars have plenty electrical noises. I cannot pinpoint exactly want that hum is, but it is normal. It's more of a whine. Hear it on my 2013 2.0 and my girlfriend's 2015 2.5. The noise is similar to what I hear in the E90 and F30 3 series along with many...

    Just took home a 2016 CX-5 AWD GT - found a scuff on the headlight

    See if you can keep the "faulty" unit. I may be interested in purchasing it from you to dissect.
