2015 Mazda 3 iSport Hatchback Fog Light Install

Hey guys, in this video ill show you all how to install some aftermarket fog lights on your mazda3 2015 iSport Hatchback.
All parts will be discussed and listed in the video. These may vary depending on your make model and year but are what I successfully used on my 2015 Mazda 3 iSport HB.
Fog lights: www.carid.com/2015-mazda-3-fog...
I ordered the spyder brand ones, when i purchased they were on sale for around 80$
Fog light switch: Oem part number KD33-66-122
I purchased mine off ebay for aroung 35$
My 2015 does have a wire harness already, as I do not have a 2014 i cannot confirm that they do.
This is my first instructional video, sorry if the video is crap.....filmed and edited on an iphone 6+ i did my best to be informative and helpful.
As always, use caution and good jugement when working on any type of vehicle, this is only an instructional video and I'm not responsible for anything that happens to you or your vehicle.
UPDATE: Thankyou for all your views and comments, It is now February 2017 and I still have these fog lights installed with original bulbs, I have had no cracks or leaks, One of the fog light covers is a little bit loose now but I plan on replacing the pair of covers with LED DRL.

[@GOODF311A]

Great little tutorial, I Just wanted to ask how the fogs are holding up?

[@notanotherhowto9000]

They are still doing well, the have been through heavy rain and wind with no issues cracks or leaking. I will say that one of the fog light covers is a little bit loose, but I had planned on changing them out with led versions. When I do I shall make another video. As it stands I am still extremely happy with these fog lights.

[@AnimalAsLeader]

was quoted $609 by the dealer ship and 700$ by a local shop to do this to my 2015 mazda 3. after seeing this video i just ordered the parts and ill have it done for $150 and an hour of time. thank you my man!

[@notanotherhowto9000]

Glad to help.

[@vanrajlamborghini7936]

was it hard? I am afraid that I don't want to harm any original stuffs.

[@IFoundMyUsername]

You are amazing! I just bought a Mazda 3 without fog lamps, and was prone to pay someone to install. Now I am gonna do it myself.

[@MBookem]

Just installed them yesterday and it made the car seem more classy and the fogs are bright and very effective!! Glad I was able to find this great clear installation video!!

[@MBookem]

Yes they did thanks again!!

[@MarioATello]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for creating it. I would only add a couple of things. 1 - Before ordering parts, make sure your Mazda 3 comes pre-wired. Not all countries assemble the same harnesses. 2 - Since installing the switch deals with the wiring in the steering column area, I suggest disconnecting the battery. This way we avoid any potential issues with an accidental airbag activation.

[@downtownlife]

So which countries do or don't come pre-wired?

[@fresnodw]

Just did this to my 2015 Mazda3i sport and worked exactly as shown. This was very helpful and I am super happy I now have fog lights.

[@greggrote]

Your video significantly shortened my learning curve ... was able to replace the broken fog light on my 2016 Mazda 3 HB in under 10 minutes (not counting the 5 minutes it took to gather up a few tools and cover them in tape ;-) ). Thanks!

[@thedeeper87]

I have a 2016 Mazda 3, process is identical and it works! I went with a different switch. Part number:KS04-66-122 this has the auto headlights with the fog switch, also I used self tapping screws to fasten the foglights in their housing. Thanks for posting a straight forward video, it was very helpful!

[@peterlgonzalez]

Excellent Video and exactly right. Followed it right down to the screws. Pre-wire was right on. I'm not a mechanically inclined person and took me 15 min total. Only advice I have is to turn the steering wheel sharp left or right to get to turn signal release. This is a FANTASTIC tutorial. Right on the money. Good job on this.

[@TheAdventureAuto]

Great tutorial! I was looking to upgrade soon and this has given me more confidence!

[@ceristimostrasello9375]

Great video! Thanks. Based on how easy you made it look, I ordered the same fog lights and switch. Hooking everything up took me about 30 minutes, didn't have any problems. Fogs look awesome. Thanks!

[@kevinpreston4158]

Thank you for this video! I just put new fog lights on my 2014 Mazda 3, late to the party I know, and your instructions worked perfect! Only thing I did differently was buy my parts on Amazon.

[@sxmplycas]

omg you make this look so easy. I'm getting the 15 or 16 next month and I can't wait to upgrade it. but I really don't want to pay someone an arm & leg for something easy like this. Great tutorial

[@PrimeHaven]

Very good video. Knowing there is wiring for aftermarket fog lights gets me super excited to buy them.

[@winston154]

This is the best video I've seen on how to do this install. Cutting into the wire harness is not the way to go. Thanks!!!

[@vphan24]

Thanks for the vid. Installing the same package on my 2015 Mazda3!

[@catchsky1]

It is a really really helpful video. I was thinking about it and hesitating at the same time but from your video I gathered that it would be easier than I thought! Thank you very much for sharing it! Cheers!

[@wsupercool]

Thanks for the vid. Very well explained, waiting for the lights to come in.

[@pt2729]

Thanks for posting this video, it was very helpful to me. I got the new signal lever/light switch on eBay as well as the fog lights...this was a very easy project and cost under $100.

[@angeloguevarra5553]

Got mine for 55 bucks. Came with everything I need. Didn't use the stock wirings. I just used the new wirings that came with the foglights. Installed the new switch instead of replacing the signal lever. Now the foglights on when I just turn on the switch. 👌🏻

[@ryuman757]

Very cool! Definitely gonna want to get some for my iSport. I already odered an Intake and box, so I want to see if I can go pretty far with over upgrades to the car. Thanks for the tutorial and all the hints!

[@sparcoraceseat]

Mate, I'm glad that I watch your video. I got my H11 fog lamps from Corksport 3 weeks back but yet to install it because their instruction was not clear and based on the previous generation Mazda 2.

[@dredman1628]

Great vid man. Very clear and easy to follow. Question though: Did the fog light indicator on the instrument cluster come on with this?

[@richardimhoff5803]

Great video. Just installed the fog lights onto my 2015 Mazda 3 Sedan and it only took 15 mins total. Again great video.

[@notanotherhowto9000]

richard imhoff Glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@melvinmartinez9312]

Thanks for this. Install them. No issues on my 2014 I grand touring

[@xbpbat21x]

Do you think the install would be similar for the mazda 6.

[@eldom20]

Great video. I'm planning to buy a Mazda3 so this video will definitely help

[@hugsrwarmy]

Damn good tutorial. Will be using it for my own install. Thanks for the video!

[@notanotherhowto9000]

Thank you, glad you found it useful!

[@archiguitarchi]

NotAnotherHowTo Are these fogs pretty effective on the road?

[@andyyin519]

Awesome tutorial! I have a 2016 Mazda 6 and I want to install LED DRLs with fog lights but there werent any videos but I think they may be nearly the same process. Im glad I stumbled across your excelleng video! BTW please please do the DRL installation video when you decide on switching!!! Keep on doing you man!

[@duhflushtech]

Great tutorial, thanks. Does the set of fog lights you bought have the ability to adjust their aim? Also do they use the standard H11 bulbs like the factory fogs, or something else?

[@Robert-tv3pl]

There is another wire in the area of the fog lights. Do you know what this is for? Is it DRL hook up? Thank you!

[@MBookem]

Great video very clear and understanding I too also have an I sport Hatchback and will be installing fogs!! Thanks for the upload!!

[@notanotherhowto9000]

M Bookem Glad you liked it, thanks for watching.

[@carlosda79]

Thanks for the detailed steps. Good choice on going with the yellow lights. I'm gonna do the same now.

[@joeebbs]

I just installed fog lights on my Mazda 3 after watching this video. Super easy although I didn't turn the wheel so taking out the light switch was the hardest part. (used a paint can opener) Great tutorial!

[@freeosiris]

Thank you for your great review. I have the same model and I want to add these to my car. I didn't knew that you need a fog light switch. Just in time before put them and don't turn on.

[@seanej72]

Great tutorial - thanks! Do you by chance know if fog lights have adjustment screws or if they need it, or are they just generally aiming "that way" and that's it? Thanks again!

[@abc.garage]

Do you think it will be similar for the Mazda 6?

[@ezeess7239]

God this is so much easier than the 2017+ models when they added led fog lights. Taking off the entire front bumper is the only way to access the fog lights

[@henry3484]

Thanks for the video. Just installed fog lights and the fog light switch on my '16 Mazda 3. For those with auto head lights, here's the part number (KD37-66-122) for the fog switch that I brought and used.

[@Italianborn]

How did u use this number ? Like u digit that on ebay and that is it or what ?

[@henry3484]

Yes, just google search it. It should bring up the headlight switches for you. Depending on if you have auto-headlights or not, your part number will be different. The one I listed is for those who have auto headlights option installed on their Mazda.

[@konnor182]

I have a 2015 Mazda 3 sedan. Would my car have the wiring harness for the fog lights already installed behind the fake cover like yours?

[@Fenicksss]

thanks a lot, this vid helped me to change the light bulbs from the fog lights in my M3SGT, I just installed LED lights to get a whiter look that match the bi xenons.

[@notanotherhowto9000]

Thanks for the view! Glad it helped!

[@dylanhunt4303]

tnx for the vid. it helped me change the black panel with the chrome ring in 30 seconds :D beast paying money to the garage !!

[@poooji]

Nice tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to post.

[@bertoacero761]

By any chance would you know if the 2014 mazda6 touring has the fog light pre wire? Just bought the same spyder fogs but just need the switch now?

[@hinhinw]

Hello, do you know if the 2015 mazda 6 sport base also comes with prewired fog light? And i assume the whole installation process should be identical?

[@nicolassaavedraz]

The connection between the signaling lever and the focus, it comes or you did it personally Attentive to your answer regards

[@ryansubrata7148]

Hey, this is really great! Do you by any chance know if the 2013 mazda cx 5 is prewired and have a dummy plug too? Thanks!

[@frankiecruz9865]

I have a question did you take it to the dealer after you install it to get it tweaked or anything

[@JuanPablo-qv9ub]

great job man!

[@delumiah4272]

Being in the UK I had to look for a stick with front and rear fog light switches. I went and bought a second hand one from ebay which had the Auto light switch too. I can confirm I know have Auto-lights as well as the fog lights.

[@andyyin519]

Great install vid! But do you think that same switch is available for the 2016 mazda 6? If so I cant seem to find it online?

[@carlosduti4968]

I bought foglights for my Mazda 2, Everything is installed as the video, but when the fogs doesn´t turn on. Maybe I need a relay?? or the oem wiring doesn´t need that?

[@wsxh2008]

Hello, What if I do not remove the old light switch, will the fog light on with head light on?

[@adrienk8166]

Hello, can you help me locate the backup camera? My 2015 mazda 3 hatchback didnt come with one, so I'm trying to install one. I need help locating the compartment that holds your backup camera so I know where to place it. Thanks.

[@antrev100]

Hi. I have just bought the same kit as you have in the video but I notice that the new switch has not got the Auto lights selection on it. I guess I have to give up that option. Maybe I simply ordered the wrong one.

[@fiveofever2971]

I just bought a CX-3.. I know they aren't the same cars but I will have to check if they are pre-wired...Can you mention what the new switch cost from the dealer?

[@yjskewwwwoddlllpqoqw]

would this be the same for the sedan version 2015 mazda 3 isv?

[@garrysofjan3798]

Can you do another tutorial when or if you install a HID headlight bulb conversion on your car?

[@ivanromero6349]

Great video. Did you do something about the space betewen the fog ligth and the plastic cover ?? The one left in the bottom...

[@strtballa12]

Ivan Romero Just installed it and wondering the same thing. Let me know if you figure something out

[@themikolot]

Very good video. I just bought the lights and wanted to know if I need to obligatorily the Fog light switch, or I can install it and with the nights lights they will turn on normal? Or if the Fog light switch is only to have the option of turning them on or off when you want? thanks men

[@ceristimostrasello9375]

You need the fog light switch. Without it the fog lights do not get power.

[@jjenco_64]

Excellent video, very detailed. I had no idea that would be so easy, now I want to do this on my 2014 3 i Touring

[@notanotherhowto9000]

Thanks, go for it. Its very easy and adds some flair.

[@Jmpaul26]

Did you try this, and if so, did the 2014 have an existing wire plugged into the dummy switch behind the plastic cover, like his for the 2015?

[@Italianborn]

Plugging just the bulb without changing the other piece a the steering , will the bulb go on ?

[@duyenchau8167]

Does anybody know if the base 2010 mazda 3 i sport sedan comes with a pre wiring harness for fog light? Thanks for the input.

[@julioquisbert655]

I just installed them. Great Video btw!! Very quick install. Only issue I'm noticing now is...that I guess because of the gap? It rained the other day here and now one of the lights have like 1/4" filled up with water. I can unscrew the fog light as many times? Will this keep happening in rain?

[@sumodon28]

take them out and inspect the housing maybe there is a crack or dry area that needs some caulk or butyl rope

[@benmovieman]

Hey Thanks for the tutorial! I have a Mazda 6 i am hoping that it is that easy as well! Thank you very much for making the video it helps alot!!! definitely sub thanks

[@Snowmonster-mf8uv]

Benjamin Fleenor I have a 2015 mazda 6. did this work for you?

[@benmovieman]

Christen C I looked, and actually its the same exact set up so it will work. I just havent had a chance to order the lights or anything. If you order them let me know what you get, I wasnt 100% sure on what i wanted yet. The only thing is that there is only one screw instead of two, I believe, to access the lights under the steering wheel.

[@darrell11100]

Benjamin Fleenor when you order do you need the switch too ? Or does it come with the kit?

[@benmovieman]

Darrell Mila I wont order the kit he has, I'm not really wanting the yellow lights, not a big fan* (no offense) But i will order the switch on ebay (link below). and put in probably 15000K lights. I just ordered 10000k head lights and I love them www.ebay.com/itm/2014-2015-Mazda6-Front-Fog-Lights-Combination-Switch-Genuine-OEM-NEW-KD37-66-122-/191113352739?fits=Year%3A2015%7CModel%3A6&hash=item2c7f3e5623&vxp=mtr

[@Snowmonster-mf8uv]

So i put the fog lights on my 2015 mazda 6. Easy!!!! Toke maybe 30 minutes. There is a part in the owners manual about changing the fog light blobs follow that there are tabs that you have to puched on when u buts the fake thing out u will only need a screw driver (flat head) and a socket

[@BenScarbalis]

Great video, have you installed led ones yet? Also, anyone know how to get auto lights on with the switch so the headlights lights turn on automatically

[@Benjamin-qf9gg]

Did your 3 have auto lights before you upgraded the OEM light swtich?

[@notanotherhowto9000]

it did not

[@abrahamwong1916]

and also can you upload or send me pictures of the fog lights, I just want to see how they look at night those yellow ones

[@theTylerMorale]

Great video. Simple descriptions, informative, easy to follow. But do yourself a favor: buy a tripod for the video camera so the two handed jobs are easier and you can show them.

[@mathieutremblay6809]

Is it the same if I want to do this for my mazda3 2018?

[@RichardSmith-ic1zw]

How did you connect the wire in the inside

[@miguelsifuentes5308]

Great Video, I have a quedaron, Do you know if I could use the same fog lights switch for my mazda2 2015? Greetings

[@Boricuapa89]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Awsome video

[@jaytee4184]

I have a Mazda 6 but I'm not sure how to remove the dummy blinds from the fog light slot. Can you please help me? Do I need to remove the bumper for installing the fog light assembly?

[@llkenshill22]

What I did on my 6 is I went through the wheel well, just take off the fastener clips on the wheel well turn the wheel so you can reach better. Bend back the well and reach the clips from below and it should come out. Everything else should be similar to the video.

[@sherlewis6446]

Hi thanks for the video..I was about to pay someone to install my 2016 Mazda 6 i touring fog lights until I watched you do this😂😂😂..great job! Quick question..if I want to install the fog lights with turn signal is it the same thing or should I get that professionally done? Thank you in advance.

[@LuisAdrianyPapa]

gracias muy buen video logre hacerlo en 15 minutos!!!!!!!

[@jasonhamilton1780]

So do you no if the 2016 mazda6 Sport is prewired for fog lights any help would be great

[@onexsp1492]

I have the same car, did you find out if it comes pre-wired?

[@herpderpdersap]

how do you add fogs if your car just has the plastic there with no fogs

[@lakerlogic9538]

Nice job, I would recommend disconnecting the negative battery cable before installation.

[@jayson8729]

does it fit on 2017 mazda 3 hatchback?

[@kushahuja6055]

Does anyone know if Mazda CX - 9 2013 comes pre - wired for fog lights?

[@vq37zu]

Hey man, did your base hatch come with halogen or bixenon headlamps? I see a projector but can't tell if theyre halogen or HID.

[@notanotherhowto9000]

They're halogen projectors.

[@danesebruno]

+Zuriel Briones all models have projectors. Some with HIDs, some with Halogens.

[@archiguitarchi]

Awesome, young man! Please be sure to share any other upgrades for this car!

[@notanotherhowto9000]

archiguitarchi If i do anymore i will definitely share with you all.

[@archiguitarchi]

NotAnotherHowTo Thanks to you I installed my Spyder fog lights and Mazda light control stick this morning. It was THE BEST D.I.Y. I have ever done on a car. Both lights were mounted in fifteen minutes and the stick took five. Just an observation: I'm beginning to think that there is only one wiring harness for all six models of the 3i. If I'm right that means the plug & play possibilities are awesome.

[@uncledrewgubbins5597]

Do somebody knows how to keep the fog lights ON when the high beam are ON? 2015 Mazda 3

[@rologo87]

Great tutorial body Thanks

[@notanotherhowto9000]

Rodolfo Lopez Govea Thanks so much

[@Quentyxu]

Hi I live in australia and I bought one of these turn switches but I realised that australian are right hand drive so the turn signal switch is on the right hand side... does anyone know if theres another way to install as I have a left hand one?

[@jaaca6259]

Can't unless you wanna retire it all up in that Colum

[@andyvedrine]

Anyone on here knows if the 2017 6 can be installed with the same method. Where's there's a dummy behind the fog light assembly cover.

[@user-kx8yk6xs1j]

Bro I would ask you My vantiy ( sun ) mirror only without light I want Change it to get vantiy(sun) mirror light; Please help me how to do it Thank you

[@abrahamwong1916]

this should work for the 2016? Mazda 3? right?

[@sumodon28]

yes it is the same. I opened mine up and same connectors

[@irenemae8401]

so would you say this video would be just as helpful for the 6? i can't seem to find a proper installation video for the 6 :(

[@JERCHROME]

I bought a cx3 would this work?

[@michaelsantiago7345]

thank you bro

[@grandparolie]

Great video you get a 💯➕ I was also thinking you could have gone with LED bulbs the are much brighter. 💯👍🏼😊

[@petermarshall3880]

Do you not have rear fog lights? In Europe it's a legal requirement.

[@DylanAndo]

Awesome, Don't even have the car. :P. Want it though!

[@chitochats]

Thanks a lot dude. So i looked up the parts you had. the spyder fog lights are $85 and the switch on ebay are like around $40. So my question is, am I looking at the right products? Thanks. Although I am thinking of getting an OEM swith. (If thats a good idea?)

[@notanotherhowto9000]

Sounds about right. Definitely get the OEM switch. I makes life a lot easier by using the stock wiring!

[@Mcpumper]

How do you add the relay switch if you don't have the other switch

[@notanotherhowto9000]

That I can't say, I woild definitely try to use the OEM wiring if it's there along with the OEM fog switch.

[@King_Therion]

Great Video, it´s very well explained. I own a Mazda 3 2015 Sport 2.5 Greeting from Mexico.

[@notanotherhowto9000]

+Carlos Aguirre Hernandez Thanks for watching, glad you found it useful.

[@savydaniel]

Nice. Why the yellow tint though? The originals are clear.

[@ildrichaseron]

Were you able to access the indicator lights as well? I'm also planning to change them to LEDs without taking off the fender or bumper.

[@notanotherhowto9000]

If you mean the turn signals then yes. You just reach up through the opening of the fog light and the bulb holder twists out.

[@ernieviskupic4688]

I recently bought a new 2017 Mazda 3. I take it the design hasn't changed?

[@Jordan-ko8pz]

Ernie Viskupic design hasn't changed much on 3rd gen mazda's but speaking as someone who owns a 2017 mazda 3 you will lose your auto-lights if you buy the switch that has the fog light ability.

[@Santi21R]

Jordan they also sell the auto switch with the fog light option for $10 more than the regular switch.
