Not sure if you noticed because I didn't at first but the lasfit H11's have a positive and negative. I thought my driver's side was bad till I looked closely at the connector and saw the + and -, switched the connector around and now it works.
I found it easier to do the fog lights by getting a trim removal tool, pop off the black cover on the fog lights and take out the screws holding in the light. No need to crawl under the car then blindly look for the connector.
Neat I'll be getting a 2018 in the next month the or so. Wanted the GT model for the lights and other features but most likely won't be able to finance that one so I'll be doing either touring or sport. Glad it's easy to upgrade the lights to LED
If you can get a 2.5 Touring that is best option. Slight bump in power with similar gas mileage, and nice features. Ive learned that resale is quite a bit better having touring over sport model.
The Adventure Mazda yeah lights also look amazing with the day time running lights. I have an 08 GT hatch and that's going to go toward it. They of course have the loyalty program so I'd get more money for it plus I think there will be a 3,000$ rebate on the new car so odds are I'll at least be able to do touring. Crossing my fingers for GT though.
My 2014 GT had bixenon headlights, which were better than LEDs. Make sure you don't have the bixenons, because you'll want to leave those the way they are. They're very expensive lights.
I've used that panel when the wheel is off, but with the wheel on its pretty tight. I could turn the wheels each time, but coming in from underneath hasn't given me any issues. Just a couple screws.
Hi there, thanks for that. I have a 2014 skyactive, wondering if some of the newer light housings that have the better lights are possible to fit on the 2014 model, ? Cheers
Any issues with overheating inside the housing? And how is the cutoff? I dont want glare affecting other drivers since our projector housing was designed for halogen beam patterns rather than LED. Thank you for the video.
No overheating issues that ive seen so far. Cutoff is the same as halogens. Ive had mine installed for 2 years and have had people flash brights maybe 3 times. New vehicles that come from the factory with LEDs are more blinding than these.
The Adventure Mazda -Cheers mate. Your quick reply is very much appreciated. Guess I'll have a fun little project this week installing these LEDs. You've earned yourself yet another subscriber. I recently picked up an '18 Mazda 3 touring and your videos have afforded me a ton of free knowledge. Keep it up! ✌👍
Hi, mine is 2018 mazda3 sp25 I already have low beam h11 put on but don't know what type fog lights bulb to buy. Can you please let me know what is the type of led fog lights that one you used or if you can please send me a link. Thanks heaps for the video
On the passenger side when you loosen the bottom part to get access to the fog... is it possible to see the window washing fluid container from there? Or do I need to take off the whole front end like a headlight replacement? ( My window washer system isnt working and it leaked everywhere when I went to fill, Im the second owner I have no idea what this fool did.. I assume it popped loose or something. )
Only the High beam bulbs need the kit because they are used for the DRLs as well. The reason they dont work is because LEDs draw such little power that it doesnt register to illuminate them. The conversion routes both bulbs through one side so that the draw from both bulbs is registered and then they illuminate.
thank you very much - exactly what I was looking for! Ordering the resistor now. Can I ask what H11 low beam and 9005/HB3 high beam LED bulbs you would recommend now, since you've tried a few? I was thinking the Lasfit 6000K for both low and high so the color would be the same - but not sure which lumen/wattage size I should get for low/high beams: 60, 90 or 120W? which is 7600, 10k, 15200 lumens? Thanks.
In reality I go on Amazon and look at reviews and see what people say. The ones I have are discontinued. I believe the high beams are made by Stark. LED bulbs and brands seem to cycle through and disappear. Just dont spend a lot of money because you can get great bulbs for cheap.
@@TheAdventureAuto hopefully you sold it for more because of the upgraded led lights. you didn't like your mazda? mine has around 50k miles on it so far and it's a 2018
junior dume On my ‘14 model the Fog lights and Low beam are both H11. The highbeam/day time running light are 9005. Generally you’ll have to use resistors if you are using an LED set up for the daytime running light to get them to function correctly. Resistors aren’t expensive and I’m sure there’s lot of tutorials on using them.
Sorry I am a newb for the Mazda 3...will this have any affect on the daytime running lights in any way(will the daytime running lights look yellow compared to the new light bulbs?). I have a '17 touring model (not grand touring) that came with regular halogen bulbs.
Was it one bulb for high/low beam together or did u have to replace both with new bulbs. I am looking for a plug and play led bulb for my 18 Mazda 3 Touring model for my wife. The stock bulbs suck ass lol
Working great. Sometimes aftermarket bulbs can let moisture into the headlight housing, so keep an eye on that. Mazda wouldn't replace and mentioned that. I unplugged the yellow side marker light to allow to evaporate and it hasn't come back. Other than that no issues.
Hi Beam is a different bulb. When switching the high beam bulb it takes away DRL function, so you need to add a kit to allow DRL to still function with upgraded LED bulb. I have a separate video on that with my Mazda3. This blue one is my wife's car.

Tip for anyone still looking to do this . For the driver's side bulbs. Pull back the wheel well lining. Much easier to get to the bulb.
idk... felt like you didnt really show me anything of the actual processes

Hands down easiest way to do it! Bing bam boom
Thank you my friend you literally save my day, i was searching for a method specifically for Mazda and I found your video 😂❤❤❤❤
can you also do a tutorial replacement for the side headlight. thanks

very nice video. the backup light is 7440, you bought 7443.
Yup, the rear turn signal light is 7443. They looked awfully similar when I bought mine, except for the color. 7440 was orange. Non-LED though.
Great video but next time just use the side wheel panel on the front tires to access the Fog lights, it is much easier.
I've used that panel when the wheel is off, but with the wheel on its pretty tight. I could turn the wheels each time, but coming in from underneath hasn't given me any issues. Just a couple screws.
Awesome!! Thx so much !!
Hi there, thanks for that. I have a 2014 skyactive, wondering if some of the newer light housings that have the better lights are possible to fit on the 2014 model, ? Cheers
How did they hold up over time? Were they brighter than the oem lights?
Did you got any code or witness light on on ? Are these CANBUS leds?
Are you able to confirm and summarize all exterior bulb types needed for the 2014 sedan?
i have a 2018 mazda3 sedan. will these leds work with my car?
If the 2018 takes H11 bulbs, for sure!
Hi , it cam be replace easily? What type of led? Mine is 2016 model 1.5 variant.
Damn nice sound, what exhaust mods you have on that?
My 3 hatch has Borla axleback, and sedan is stock.
Any issues with overheating inside the housing? And how is the cutoff?

So do you actually need to buy 3 packages from the link for a full switch?
Which ones did you buy?
On the passenger side when you loosen the bottom part to get access to the fog... is it possible to see the window washing fluid container from there?

are your DRLs work after upgrading to LED?
Yes they worked with the conversion kit
Only the High beam bulbs need the kit because they are used for the DRLs as well. The reason they dont work is because LEDs draw such little power that it doesnt register to illuminate them. The conversion routes both bulbs through one side so that the draw from both bulbs is registered and then they illuminate.
Coool, can you post a link to those bulbs please?
Added to description! Thanks!
The Adventure Mazda Just to be sure - the product linked in the description includes both the headlights and the fog lights correct? 4 bulbs total
Did you check your beam pattern? I want to upgrade but I want to make sure I get the right ones with a good beam pattern.
since its projector headlights it wont matter. it will give off straight light across instead of halogen mirror style.
I have mazda 3 your advice me ' add Xzenon or LED what is the best ?
LED for sure.
The Adventure Auto what is the best type ? And how many wat
Thanks.
What can be done to convert the High Beam bulbs to LED? The high beams also act as DRL lights unfortunately. Thank you.
I have a video called Quick Fix R1 Kit that shows how to make LEDs work for highs and DRLs. Let me know if you give it a go and how it turns out!

i put all leds in my car in 2018 and theyre still running strong. has any of your lights burn out yet?
All were still working great until we sold the car last week. I forgot to remove them before selling :(

I posted a video on how to make the LEDs work as DRLs. You have to buy a kit called R1 and it worked great for me.
You didn't show much..
Easier way,pull inner wheel liner...
Is upgrading your low beams to LED street legal in the USA? I'd like to do this, but worry about that.
Yes they're street legal.
Sorry I am a newb for the Mazda 3...will this have any affect on the daytime running lights in any way(will the daytime running lights look yellow compared to the new light bulbs?). I have a '17 touring model (not grand touring) that came with regular halogen bulbs.
did you ever find out about this, I also have a 17 touring and want to upgrade.
I went ahead and replaced bulbs and they are definitely whiter then the stock halogen bulbs(plus brighter).
@cobramanphil thank you, placed an order to upgrade

Are these DOT approved and legal in America? Appreciate the video.
As far as I know yes.
Awesome

Nope, plug and play!
so how is it after 2 years?
