jackcfk,
You do not need to remove anything at all, you can access the entire thing from the engine bay. I got a few pics and a vid coming in a bit.
Quick lunch time vid I shot on my Droid Razr Maxx. I just wanted to show what everything looks like inside. I was unable to do a full replacement at the time.

You're both welcome! I wish I could have done more!
Eric,
All you would need is an HID kit such as this one:
http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DDM-HID-Kit-Slim-Ballast-35W-or-55W
35w, H11 bulbs, and their 4500 and 5000k bulbs which are closest to pure white. I've had both on my Mazda 3.
You should not need anything else. They will use the existing factory wiring. If you do the install, please document it if you can

Damn, I thought the lights themselves were over $100. I can't believe they're that cheap.
Thanks for the info!

EricF,
I read the following from another post here:
That being said, it should just be a straight swap. Keep in mind, I have never had my hands on the touring/non tech package model so I am not 100% sure. I would advise that when you get your car, familiarize yourself with it's workings and then try the swap with a single headlight.
Let us know of your outcome!

I just join this forum, please to meet you all
btw, I installed the 5000k version of philips 42402 CX replacing the OEM from Mazda (Osram Xenarc 4200K). My CX5 is AFS version, the AFS works fine, and for the hi beam works fine also.
Those look very nice Wi_lee!
Man just tried today for the bulb swap and I just couldn't get the bulb out. It's held in very tight and I couldn't figure out how to disconnect the power cable holding the bulb..... Should I give up? Or try again? How did you guys disconnect the power cable for the bulb?
That happened to me too when i was installing. Just keep trying and twist and pull it out. I couldn't get it so i had one of my friends help me. Or u can try removing the oem wire first then twist the bulb out.
