Would i be able to do the indy foglight mod, like is all the wiring the same on the 2010 and i can just splice and merge the same wires together to get the nice foglights on with just the parking lights?

HOW-TO: Independent Fogs WITHOUT running wires through the firewall

Unfortunately, that thread doesn't apply to the 2010. I'm not sure if anyone has been able to figure it out yet.

 

Installed =D

 

Awesome write-up. I've been looking for fog light installation instructions and this one is amazing.

I live in Canada so the models may be slightly different. I have the Canadian Mazda 3 GS with the comfort package, whatever that means. So, one thing I notices it that the signal/light stalk is different than mine. Mine has automatic lights. Do they sell stalks that have automatic lights and fog lights?

Also, what kind of light bulbs do these fog lights use? I've been searching and some say 9006 some say H11. I think the Mazda3 Speed that comes with fog lights has H11 bulbs, but the Mazda 3 GT that comes with fog lights uses 9006. No one mentions what kind of bulbs the after-market fog light use. The place I bought my HID kit for the low beam from accidentally sent me two sets (for the price of one), so I was hoping I could use the extra H11 set for the fog lights. Can you confirm whether it would work or not?

 

Nice lookin' install FuM!



When I bought my new signal stalk there were two options -- one with auto lights and one without, so you should be good. Just verify your parts dept has it before going ahead. The aftermarket fogs are also 9006's.

 

Can someone post up a pic of the front emd with these fogs, with lights off?

 

you mean like this?

 

great write up i will do this in the future!

 

Factory inserts

Hey guys, I was browsing the forums and came across this thread which might in a roundabout way might solve the only problem I've had with my car since I bought it

About a month after I got my 2010 Touring, I noticed that somehow (!) I ended up with a really big hole right through the bumper insert on the passenger side. I don't have foglights, and don't have the money to get them right now, so I was wondering if any of you have a set of inserts that you removed to put the foglights in you might be able to sell me? Or possibly direct me to where I can look for a set relatively cheap?

Sorry if I'm posting this question in the wrong section but a friend recommended this approach while he searches the local junk yards for the piece I need. I hope someone can help me out because seeing this hole every time I wash my car is driving me insane :shocked:

 

What parts were used? Where did you get them and do you have an approx. Cost?
I just picked up a 2010 3i Sport, I would like to add fog lights to it.

Thanks,
Steve

 

I guess I should have read all of the pages. I found what I needed.

 

Wow... This tutorial is great. I wasn't planning on installing fogs but you made it look so easy I'm going to make it happen.
Thanks

 

is there any where other then the dealer ship, mazda gear, or buy or mazda parts or whatever that site is called, to buy a fog light kit from?i live in canada and the second site doesnt offer shipping to canada anymore for some reason... i found a site from an ebay post that sells fog light kits. they quoted me 225.80 for the kit. and according to two different dealers, i not only need a new signal switch, i need a new windshield wiper switch as well. so in total it would cost me 367 shipped

 

The driver side open mesh fog grill came standard on s Sport and s GT models equipped with auto transmissions built before 01/10. I'd say that the only way you could get one is by giving the dealer a vin # that fits that model description so it could be ordered as a replacement. Other than that I think your s.o.l.

 

does anyone know if there are signal switches that controll the fog lights and also have auto on light feature?

 

Yes, direct from the instructions you need light lever # BBM4 66 122, and will also need a new wiper lever # 4 S D BBM3 66 128, then the fog kit. Any dealer online or local can get you what you need.

 

hey guys, so i tried putting in my fog lights today and the fog light housing that i have is to small to fit on my bumper.... i dont get it.

i have BCD2-50-11 which is the finned cover like mike has in his first post.

my car originally comes with the fog light cover with the diamonds on it..

does anyone know what part number i would need? i spoke to a Mazda dealership and he said there is about 5 different fog light covers. the only alternate part number on the instructions are BBP8-50-C11 and my dealer said that number doesn't come up for him. keeping in mind i have a Canadian car, and an American fog light kit.

any help is greatly appreciated thanks guys!

So you have the 'newer' cover car, but you ended up with the earlier finned kit? I would guess that the actual fog lights are the same, just all the trim is different? Can you not install the lights themselves without the finned trim?

My 3 is the same as yours, diamond patterned covers and they stay on the car, you just remove the fog light panel and replace with the new silver trim on the outside and the actual fog light on the inside.

Here is what my kit looked like....

This is the only piece that you remove from your car....

Then the silver trim installs from the front and the fog light from the rear and you are done.

 

thats weird... where did you buy your kit from?? i tried doing just that but my lights would not line up properly

 

also did you need to replace your windshield wiper switch, along with the combination head light switch with auto light feature?

 

on the inside of the bumper does the fog light sit flush against the bumper or is there a gap?

 

Partsformymazda, $231 without the switch, you only need the replacement wiper switch if your 3 already has factory auto lights.

No gap, the light should be pretty flush up to the silver trim within a few mm.

 

i dont see why the wiper switch needs to be switched out along with a new signal combination switch just because it has auto lights

 

ok guys heres the big question.

my car is produced on 11/09.

part number BBM4-V7-220 is for cars produced before 11/09.

part number BDL4-V7-220 is for cars produced after 11/09

which one is for me?!

 

After 11/09 = diamond patterned covers. My pics above.

Before 11/09 = covers with the bars across.

 

ok i think i got it all figured out. the fog light assembly's are different part numbers BDL4-50-C12 and BDL4-50-C22 as per user manual for the after 11 09 cars. unfortunately now i gotta return this fog light kit to rhode island and then re order them

 

i am selling the same fog light kit as mike. 300 shipped. includes everything including combination switch. pm me or email me acee11@gmail.com. thanks!

 

2010 mazda3 fog lights

where i can buy 2010 mazda3 fog lights? :mellow 1:

 

are they compatible for the 2011 mazda 3 i trim?

 

What do I do if I have no pre existing bumper cable attached to the dummy plug. I have a 2011 without fg lights. Is there a cable I can buy with the kit to install em myself or am I just not bound to get fog lights lol. Any help would b great

Emily.

 

Easiest way would be to make your own "Y" harness; ignition powered so you can not accidentally leave them on. Put a switch in the panel on the left side of the dash to control them.

If you must have factory harness, check with your dealers Master Tech to trace that harness in his diagrams to see if it could be added to the car.

 

Activation is required?

Hi. My mom is getting a brand new Mazda3 i Touring but in Mexico it comes without fog lamps, I will install them but I have a question: Does the fog lamps need to be activated through an ECU or something like that? I installed the fog lamps in my 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer ES but I had to buy the activation with a Mitsu dealer.
Thanks
