What have you done to your CX-5 today?

My impression of them is they’ll make/sell just about anything they sense a demand for whether there’s a real or only imagined benefit. They seem to tool up quickly and push the product out the door often without adequate development. Compare them to a company like Racing Beat that works closely with Mazda in developing aftermarket performance that fit and perform properly!

IME CS takes a long time to bring parts to market.

Map light bulbs -- ordered several of the LED 5000K bulbs from VLEDS, with a claimed 170 lumens. Should arrive late next week or the week after. Hopefully it'll be heads and shoulders above the anemic DE3175's currently in the car. Don't use them much, but I darned well want them bright and a warm-to-daylight quality of light.

Highly recommended, for anyone looking for a DE3175-compatible, 30mm long cabin festoon light.

These bulbs put out an amazing amount of high-grade light into the cabin. Used them this morning. So easy to read (map, notes, book pages). The 5000K works really well.

They're pretty lo-key, but have been around building serious Mazda performance parts for decades. Check them out: https://www.racingbeat.com/
