I didn't use these on my Mazda but my old S10 I did and they sucked. The lense was garbage and had a very reduced beam.
I would say look around for a set from a GT or put real HID's in it.
Yes and no.
Yes you can get the HID bulbs for the sizes of your current bulbs (fogs too... I did)
BUT...its a completely different voltage system than your current setup so you have to by ballasts to convert it to the right voltage.
They need a ton of electricity to turn the HID's on, then once on, they use less electric than your current. They come in 35w and 55w variants...the 35w are fine and dont require you to upgrade your wiriing, the 55w would need a whole new harness direct to battery.
You can get all you need shipped to your house for under $100 and have the brightest lights in town. ( I got the low beam set\fog set and an extra set of bulbs for under 100 shipped!)...but...this site takes a couple weeks to get them to you sometimes.

The ddm kits are plug and play meaning you don't have to cut or wire anything. I have their slim ballast kit and I definitely recommend it. Simply unplug and remove your factory bulbs and plug the ballast into the power side of the headlight harness. Then remove your headlights (It's nearly impossible to change the low beams while the headlights are installed anyway. It also makes it easier to mount the ballasts.) and install the HID replacement bulb into your headlight housing. Plug everything in and you'll be good to go.
I changed both low beams and fogs with headlights AND bumper installed. ;-)
Then again...Im from Kentucky and am quite the high tech redneck and I used to rebuild cars so Im a dork...and I did it all in less than an hour because my wife had just left and I didnt want her to know I had bought them.....booya
Thats not to say it didnt get cut\scratched.
35w is all you need, 55w produces a little more light buts its more scattered and not all usable like the 35w is....but its a personal preference.

I was too cheap to buy the slims so ive got 4 of the bigger ones all over, one is in between my airbox\electric box I believe (somewhere over there as a perfect cram spot, the other side was mounted to the radiator wiring harness (I had some longer wire ties to really get it stuck there) and the fogs were punks to install, had nowhere it would really reach to so I ended up mounting them in the front of the bumper towards the outside of the honeycomb grill slightly visible from outside the car but they have a lifetime warranty so no worries on my end as they are weather sealed.
