    I saw another thread on this topic from back in 2016, but I was not aware of the issue until it was too late. This is actually on my 2015 Mazda 6, but it shares the same RBCM (KD45675Y0G) and wiring arrangement. A few days ago, I tried replacing my terrible trunk light with a strip of LEDs, and...

    Hello everyone: I am looking at buying a 3rd gen Mazda 3 GT sedan. One of the biggest selling points for me of the GT over the lower trim levels are the upgraded headlights. As we're all well aware of, the refresh in 2017 introduced all-LED lighting for the front headlights and a departure from...

    Hi peeps, I have installed some new license plate leds from vleds lately. After that I have experienced a lot of DAB issues “no signal, change the essemble” So I investigated this further and noticed when I leave my head and tail lights off, DAB works immediately. If I switch the head lights...

    Hey everyone. I (semi) recently got a '15 3 3 igt, and I'm slowly redoing all the mods that were on my 06 3s. One mod I never got around to on my car was installing some puddle lights in the side view mirrors. I did it on my friends Fit and it looked great. On hers the install was super easy...

    I wanted to share the parts I used in replacing interior and exterior lights in my GT. First I want to clarify that the head, fog, side marker, and break lights come as LED. This thread is about interior, reverse and turn signal lights. Interior: CorkSport has an excellent 8 piece set (2...

    My 17 GT has LED headlights however the main beams are set to run as DRLs (with reduced light output) which is kind of annoying, especially in the daytime. Is there a way to re-code the headlights such that DRLs are the halos like the European Mazda 3 models? I know there is a trick of turning...
  10. Mazda 3 Parts - Buy / Sell
    Hey guys I'm selling all my parts from my 2015 Mazda3 2.0L. Buyer pays shipping. Local pickup in Orlando or South Florida is preferred. Prices are firm-ish (I think they're fair). I'll be posting some of this stuff on other sites too but I will always keep availability updated. Touch up paint...
  11. Exterior Lighting
    I can't seem to find the specs on my 2012 Mazda 3 (sedan) wattage output for headlights. I just bought LEDs for both low beams and high beams. Problem is that it looks like they run at 160w and I don't think the output on for the headlights reach that wattage. What can I do to bypass the...

    Im a frequent poster on LinusTechTips's forum, and have several posts about my mod there, but I thought I would share an edited photo of a LED swap I did, very pleased with the results. Some light leaks through the black where I sanded showing un-smooth lines, this will be fixed in the coming...

    Do you guys think its possible to install switchback LED's for the front turn signals where it can act as a DRL while the vehicle is turned on (white) and have the amber turn signal functionality? Since the turn signals on our cars only turn on while using the turn signal is this even possible...

    I own a black 2015 mazda 3 sedan and am looking into changing all the oem lights for (drl, vanity, dom, map, trunk, plate and brake, turn signal and headlght if possible) to leds. I am hoping just to plug and play as i dont want to risk voiding my warranty. Now i read something about COM...

    Hey guys, so today I tried to install the TRS XB LED bulbs on my 2015 Mazda 3 and can't seem to get rid of the hyperflashing. I already have a different set of LED bulbs in the rear with load resistors and it works fine but I can't seem to get the front to not hyperflash. I'm not using the TRS...

    I'm planning on putting some footwell lights in my 2005 Mazda 3, but I'm not sure how to go about wiring it up to do what I want. I want them to work exactly like the map lights. I want them to come on when the doors are open and when i unlock the car, but I also want to be able to turn them on...
