Building CUSTOM Mazda 3 Headlights! (M4 Halo's | RGB | LED Strip)

[@dovahkiin3216]

You inspired me to do this to my 3 like 2 years ago now I’ve also done it to my speed ! Everyone loves them, one of the best mods I’ve done

[@ColtonRichter]

Same, a super favorite of mine!

[@jacelawton4774]

These came out so good! Dude it makes me want to make my own custom lights 😍

Hello,bro I became the owner of 2004 Two-seater Mazda3. The modification of this headlight is the best. I will try to make this😤 From 🇯🇵

[@ColtonRichter]

Awesome!

[@DJBla2e01]

Nice. Did custom headlights on my 2nd gen 3 about 2 months ago, and I just love them! All I did was paint the insides black and put 1 pair of round switchback halos in. With my LED switchbacks I already had, it almost looks sequential, as it’s got a slight delay compared to the halos 😂 I wired my halos up to turn on with the ignition so they act as DRLs (which weren’t available from factory in Australia until the 3rd gen), and added a 30A SPDT relay so they turn off with the parking lights/headlights; considering how bright they are, I don’t wanna blind everyone at night. Also, the fuse I tapped into has a 20 second delay after turning the ignition off, which just adds to the looks, and also helps me see where I’m going when getting out of the car at night 😅

[@ColtonRichter]

Great idea on the wiring side of things, that delay would be sweet for a daily!

[@lamalucian7733]

hey man do you have any pictures? I'm wanting to do my gen 2 but blacking out the housing is scaring me

[@ElZarDelComercio]

I'm glad still are outhere people that makes things by themselves. Nice work.

[@rsj_media]

Appreciate you sharing this with me in the comments on your other video! Really clean!

[@ColtonRichter]

Of course!

[@chrisjames5459]

Watching your videos get me so excited for modding my Mazda 3 🤩

[@ColtonRichter]

Mod er' up!

A VIDEO THAT UNITES SUBSCRIBERS. FINALLY WE HAVE ARRIVED AT THE PROMISE LAND 💯💯💯 THANKS COLTON!!!

[@BradzOfSheffield]

What size did you get for the M4 style halo ?

[@jeanrodriguez6019]

I’m looking for the same thing

[@brad5316]

I am simply blown away by your video! Thank you for sharing this information and giving me ideas on what I would like to do!! You are giving me hope on changing the looks on my old mini truck!! :)

[@ColtonRichter]

Good luck and have fun!

[@DownSouthRuckus]

You provided links for the Halo’s and the LED strip. What about the RGB purple light in the middle?

[@ColtonRichter]

I did a video on this a few years back, they're from vipMOTOZ on eBay & I don't believe they sell them anymore.

[@nahum1986]

Yeah nice job mate! can you ecplain the wiring and drive connections please? thx

[@ColtonRichter]

Lighting comes with instructions!

[@masonk1l023]

Where do you get those red/silver red/yellow screws that are holding down the bumper and fenders?

[@ColtonRichter]

They're called dress up bolts.

[@alexdmjvids4603]

Hey man great job was wondering is the mazda 3 headlights compatible with a mazda protege5 looking to put some halos on my protoge5

[@ColtonRichter]

They're different housings

[@cleanairrepublicph1337]

Damn it's hot 🔥 where can we get those crystal halos BMW thanks

[@ColtonRichter]

Amazon & eBay, other actual name brands as well

[@advmb_r4p]

Where did you get the RGB bulb? I've been looking for a while now

[@ColtonRichter]

Ebay

[@btwitzisaiah7266]

These headlights are the same as the gen 1 mazdaspeed3 right? If it is, then the process would be exactly the same. Correct?

[@ColtonRichter]

The shape is different, but the process is the same!

[@btwitzisaiah7266]

@@ColtonRichter well thanks for the reply and great final product.

[@lenadrt88]

Bro, i know this a dumb question but for the switchback. Ground wire goes to any metal contact surface of the car? Because there's two wires, does yellow wire go to the signal positive wire, & red goes to headlight positive wire?

[@ColtonRichter]

Yes

[@lenadrt88]

thanks!

[@thebutteredcroissant]

Heyo, nothing as crazy as what you're doing, but if I were to buy some housings meant for Halogen bulbs without the HID Ballast Module would I just need to mount that from my current Xenon headlights or is there more that I'm missing?

[@cleanairrepublicph1337]

Hi Sir which size or model specifically for M3 sedan. I was trying to look at Ebay but a lot of model of M4 Halo was there. Appreciate your suggestions thanks

[@ColtonRichter]

I can't recall, but I believe most of them are the same size if they look like mine.

[@agamadden123]

Can i jum every light to the main head light and or the beam light?

[@efrainperedia9716]

My guy Love the vids N I just got a 3 n I got the spyder headlights but idk where to splice the drl in Any help would be appreciated

[@efrainperedia9716]

@ColtonRichter into the turn signal light?

[@ColtonRichter]

DRL into your DRL, or you can tap into a fuse that turns power on with ignition switch

[@SpicyE827]

How much was for the halo hexagon led the webpage is down

[@ColtonRichter]

About $100

[@haisee]

Did you ever connect the remote starter for the halos? I bought a kit of off aliexpress which has a similar instruction manual as yours and its says fade on/off meaning they turn on when I unlock the car which is quite cool but Im not really sure were I would hook that cable to. I would appreciate any kind of help, keep up the great videos you give me soo many new ideas for my mz3 bk

[@ColtonRichter]

I didn't no

[@cartscandylimerickcartscan5517]

Hi can u send the link where u got the head light strip

[@thecheese796]

Hey man quick question, can you use the halo for a dipped light and use a bulb for a full beam or is that what was done here in this video? Thanks

[@ColtonRichter]

That was done here

i know this video is older but do you know the right size if I wanted to do circle halos?

[@ColtonRichter]

Not sure, sorry

[@florianhartmann1239]

Found this Channel a minute ago... Nice Mazda 3 Stuff... Hell yeah want to do so much of it right now... Just regulations and laws saying no.

[@BenDover-ot9yv]

I'm planning to do these for mine. What happens when the halo or dlr strip dies out - how do you replace it, do you have to remove the whole cover and redo it? Also do you think wiring would be complicated for a first timer, and is the in-cabin switch necessary? Did your headlights fog up yet? Thanks, Ben

[@ColtonRichter]

If they die, they die, you do the whole thing all over again. Wiring isn't complicated, there's lots of help out there too. Cabin switch is not necessary. Headlights haven't fogged up, but I also haven't driven the car since.

[@BenDover-ot9yv]

@@ColtonRichter I appreciate you taking the time to reply to everyone 🙏 Last question, if you have the halos, you can delete the current headlight bulbs right? And just use the halos and dlr strip. Thanks

[@ColtonRichter]

Nah man those halo's ain't going to project light like your headlight bulb

[@big_d3734]

what did u use for the rgb

[@ColtonRichter]

ebay bulbs

Chat with @samir_h_192 on IG

[@pauljs75]

One could really get creative if they know a bit of 3D printing stuff, how to vapor smooth that or other surface finishing work, then use silicon release molding with optic-clear cast resin and a vacuum or pressure chamber. Sometimes the casting also has to be staged with different dyed sections, if desiring red or amber lenses within a composite assembly. There's spray-on mirror finishes now if vacuum deposition is too complicated or difficult to figure out for any reflector bits. And if knowing a bit of electronics to custom fab LEDs, that could stretch options even further. Yes it's convoluted, but all those skill sets can be meshed together and applied to this kind of thing if wanting to go yet another level beyond kit-bashing some already existing stuff together. Also it's funny I've seen enough of all those different processes to know what's possible, but still nobody showing it all coming together just yet.

[@ColtonRichter]

For real, 3D printing opens up huge customizable opportunities.

Anyone know where to buy premade headlights with halos?

[@ColtonRichter]

eBay

[@mrrith6840]

Is this the same on mazda cx-3

[@ColtonRichter]

A lot more mechanics on the housing if you have automatic leveling headlights, and HID's but other then that it's somewhat the same concept I would think
