Hello all, this is my first ever post on these forums. As of August, I had just picked up my first car, a 2014 Mazda 3 GT hatch 6MT. The car had come with the standard headlights and tail lights and I was wondering if and how I would be able to upgrade to the DRL ones as seen here for the...

Hi all, Loving my 2022 Preferred hatchback. I'm curious as to whether anybody has replaced the orange/amber 'side lights' / position lights that come on with the headlamps (on the outer ends of the base headlamp assembly). Since these bulbs don't function as turn signals, I would prefer a...

Located in OC, CA. I purchased this Snowflake White 2016 Mazda 3 in October of 2015. I just came out of a S2000 and a Mustang GT after that. I was looking for a transitional car to make the bridge between the sports cars I loved and the family car I needed to get into. It was the perfect car...

Is anybody getting a warning about the automatic lighting system malfunctioning? Seems to only happen when the car has been sitting in the heat. After about 5 minutes of driving it clears itself.

I have a separate line of postings with the same title. I tried to reply, but I cannot. The error message says I have 'links', and that I must remove them. I do not know what or where they are, so I try to respond with this new message. Here are the words I tried to use for my reply to my...

I accidentally cancelled the auto dimming on the instrument lighting while resetting the oil change reminder. Now the instruments are bright at night which makes it difficult to see out of the car. The owners' manual shows how to cancel it, which I apparently found out how to do without...

I got a new hatchback GT with the LEDs, and I'm Trying to figure out the operation of the headlights and halos. The rotating switch on the stalk has 4 positions: (1) OFF, (2) AUTO, (3) Indicators-only, and ON. If I turn it all the way on, then turn it back one click to Indicators-only, the...

Wrapping up the day we spotted another lighting deal, this time on LED light bars designed with the off-road enthusiast in mind. the 31" curved bar has an output of 180W, and is designed with some serious heat sink fins to keep the LED nodes cool and extend their lifespan. Learn more at the...

I recently purchased and installed a Regetek 7" Touchscreen head unit in my 2004 Mazda 3 GT sedan. I used the Metra 70-7903 wiring harness (sorry, I can't post links yet, but both products are on Amazon, bear with me please). The head unit itself works fine, however after the installation, I...

I've drilled a tiny hole to interior lighting panel. Put an led and aimed it to armrest/cup holders. It should be there from the factory :/

Hey guys I have a 2016 Mazda 3 Grand Touring and I want to change the interior lights to led as well as my fog lights and rear tail lamp bulbs and reverse lights. Will the car throw any canbus errors or can leds be installed with no issues?

Hey, all. I had a thought that putting a very slight glow around rims may come out nice (or not, will have to try and see). Then came the question of what's technically street legal. Those of us living in California have to work with a legal intensity limit of 0.05 candela of diffused light...

I installed some footwell led lighting in my car and made a video showcasing how i did it if anyone else wants to try! i think it turned out great so i might throw together a how-to if there isnt already one posted. Also i am trying to continuously upload content regarding primarily my mazda and...

Does anybody know where the interior lighting package footwell lights are located? Does anybody know what they look like? All my interior led lights work, except the ones lighting the footwell. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi im looking to change some of my lighting to LED and just wanted to know what's recommended now.. Mostly looking to just change my tail&brakes l, my reverse lights (can barely see through my tint at night) and headlights for now Looking around I think I should do 7440 white for reverse...

Has anyone installed the Mazda footwell lighting kit in a car other than a Mazda? I'm just curious, I want to install this in a GMC truck and it seems I should be able to hook up the power same as with our cars and I can figure out a way to mount the lights no problem.

I saw this interesting led device on ebay and thought it might solve the problem that the ports and storage space aren't lit at night. There's this version, which doesn't have a switch, but can be turned off by pulling it partially out. This is the one I got. 2 Ultra-thin Portable USB LED...

Hey guys. I have a european 2009 Mazda 3 Sport (151HP) (GPS Trim) I'm a moron and I shorted out some cables that burned interior lighting fuse, I replaced it and had to tune the settings again. (The cables I shorted were connecting to the footwell lighting LED.) I fixed it all except one thing...
