Fog Light/Sequential Turn Signal installation (2018 Mazda CX-5)

[Oppie1]

Good afternoon everyone. I ordered a set of Fog Light/Sequential Turn signals off ebay that are set to arrive this week. My goal is to install them this weekend. I dont think they come with instructions, so i was looking to see if anyone could point me in the right direction of a walk thru or videos showing the process of getting the bumper off to tying the wiring in.

I would greatly appreciate any leads.

here are the light i got coming - https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-LED-Day...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Those look pretty cool. I've been on the fence for a little while about getting a set of these. I like these a lot better than the ones that look like arrows when lit up.

Will these work on a CX 5 without the fogs?

Should work fine since the fog light plastic cover is independent from the longer plastic strip the DRL woul replace. See the photo of part in the ebay ad.

Yeah, some of the eBay listings say not to buy it if there are no fogs. I may just get fogs as well.

i watched the posted video, but still unsure where to tie the wire harness into. the directions are rather vague.

I just watched the video as well.
Physical installation is relatively simple, but nothing showed the electrical connections.
I'm hopeful that the manufacturer sourced Molex connectors that interrupt the existing light harnesses.
If the OP discovers that to be the case, I'm in for a set.

I appreciate that.
A plug and play installation with sealed connectors is greatly preferred to modifying the existing harness.

If i remember it was four wires for power (battery), ground, turn signal and ACC power.

How does the wiring work?

 

[CrispyoChris]

I got mine put in yesterday. I didn't do the work, sorry I can't help with wiring. I had them wire the DRL to the parking light (amber)

I got the kit on eBay (with fog light trim) since my touring doesn't have fog lights. The plastic trim for the fog light fits good with the DRL part

That looks so awesome. I think I'm going to do the same this summer.

this is from Member CharlestonMx5:
There are 4 wires. pretty straight forward. long yellow wire goes to positive on left blinker, short to right blinker. I connected the red to the positive of my fog light on the driver side, only two wires there. Then the black is ground, you will find a ground box on the lower driver side fender, it has about 5 black wires running into it and one large bolt to ground them all, I just hooked a T-tap to one of the grounds instead of putting it under the bolt.


goodluck man. let us know how the install goes..post pics when done!
