FM NA & ND LED corner light installation

[@ernster500]

Dang. You guys made this look easy. After following this, I realized why you recommend to leave the screws off. Total PITA. In hindsight, it may have just been easier to jack each corner up and remove the wheel and fender liner to gain access. Trying to contort my body, arms and hands inside the fender liners took me probably just as long.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Yeah, sometimes the struggle of a shortcut takes the same time as removing more parts. For us.....this way works well.

Great video. Got mine today, got all 4 of them done in about 30 minutes. Side marker lights were a piece of cake and i didn't even remove any carpet in the rear - just the back trim piece and 4 of the little retainers so I could just move the carpet out of the way. One of the tail light LED strips slid right into place, I had to fight the other one for about 5 minutes to get the correct orientation at the end. Little inexpensive but high quality mods like this are my favorite ones to do, thanks for offering these!

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Thanks for watching and we're glad you like them.

[@JCommoner]

A couple things that don't appear in the video. 1. The prep work involved removing the screw from the OEM piece before removing. That happens to be the real challenge. Depending on your dexterity it can be quick and EZ or long and frustrating, especially on the back lights. 2) when he twists off the OEM that quarter turn, the bulb has already been removed in the video. You need to pop out the bulb to plug in the wires,

Thanks for the video. My ND corner lights just arrived from FM. It’s nice to have a video like this to do a little “recon” before digging in. 👍👍

[@TheLemonFactor]

Thanks for the video, install looks super easy. I have mine on order (currently the smoked are on backorder), but can't wait to install.

[@LePadhoc]

Hi guys Someone know where can I find the wires for side marker lights for ND / the references ? 🤔 I'm in Europe, so there isn't any wire for these parts, but I want to install "US" side lights on mine... Thank you guys !

[@captain595fearless8]

Where can i buy the wiring from for my Mazda mx5 ND 2016? I bought the side markers and come to realise that i need the wiring for mine since my car doesnt come with stock illuminated corner lights 😢

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

@captain595fearless8 We don't sell wiring to make this happen, so you'll have to dig up some wiring diagrams and wire them up to illuminate when you want. Sorry we can't be more helpful here!

[@billrodgers3136]

Could you do an auxiliary led driving light install? I've bought the Alpena Terra6 Led for the grille but cant find a bracket or bar to install them.

[@pete5534]

Where can I find the NB installation information you mentioned? I’d like to get a set for my ‘04, and definitely want to have illumination at the rear end. Thanks!

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Contact our customer support team directly via phone or email, they should be able to point you in the right direction. Sorry for the hassle!

[@tylerpetersonmedia3987]

Is there a way to keep the stock lenses but use the led bulbs?

[@UpToSpeedOnJaguar]

Are the side reflectors powered, on the US model ND2s? I've never actually looked before, and don't really feel confident DIY'ing the wiring for them, so that determines whether I'd make the purchase and send them to a shop to be wired by professionals.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

They are. It's easy to confirm, just turn on your parking lights and look at the car.

[@hillbillysportsman5818]

Cool lights👍would look go with a Flyin Miata tag frame.

[@tommyestridge9301]

What is the wiring mod to do on the NB?

[@hannahhahn5581]

same. my NB has no wiring to plug in for the rear ones.. Help plz

[@markc19821]

Can you please tell me where the rear defuser and exhaust come from? I would live to buy it looks great on the ND!

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

You can get the "diffuser" (it's not really functional) from Rev9. The exhaust is part of the V8 conversion fitted to this car.

[@graham_lewis]

I am looking into your LED brake lights and had a question. On lets say the popular halo headlights, some people can use the ring as a sort of DRL. The only way to do that on a 1.6 is to wire it in to the parking lights. Is there a way so when I turn the parking lights on the brake lights won't stay on? I want to use it like a DRL but driving with parking lights is illegal in colorado.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

If you want to run lights with the ignition, just connect them to a switched power source. If you're feeling very ambitious, retrofit the Canadian DRL wiring. 1994-97 cars have a much easier time because you can just plug in the DRL module. Note that the brake lights do not come on with the parking lights, the taillights do. They're significantly less bright.

[@graham_lewis]

@@FlyinMiataVideo Thanks. yeah i saw that the 1.8s had the same wiring harness as the canadian ones with drls. I would like to have the option to turn the lights off or on while the car is running. I think i meant tail lights instead of brake lights. is there any way to make the tail lights not turn on when the parking lights are on?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

@@graham_lewis You're looking at it backwards. What you want is a way to power the front lights without turning on the rears, not preventing the rears from coming on when they're supposed to. For one, that latter situation has a bad failure mode when you forget and you start driving around at night with no taillights. It's very easy to make the front lights come on with a switch and the ignition. You just need a switch. If you also want the front lights to come on with the parking lights, that's also easy. You might need to toss a diode in there, I'd have to check the wiring diagram. But the basic concept is about as complicated as a flashlight. Step 1 is to figure out exactly what behavior you want (DRLs on with ignition, or when the headlights are up but not turned on, or only when the ignition is on but not when the parking or headlights are on, etc) and then work out what combination of switches and power you need to get there. If you're not comfortable with wiring, grab a friend.

[@graham_lewis]

@@FlyinMiataVideo Yeah that makes sense. I was trying to think of a fairly stock and simple way to connect the front lights and the halos work the headlights. Yes i was originally planning on running one or two aftermarket lights. I feel pretty comfortable with wiring I’ve done a couple lights with my dads jeep. Do you guys offer some kind of switch panel?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

@@graham_lewis If you want the halos to come on when the headlights up are, I believe one of the wires to the headlight motors is hot when they're up so you could use that to trigger a relay. You might have to spend a bit of time with the wiring diagram. Sorry, we don't have any switch panels.

[@hoodwinkiez]

Is one set in the store one rear and one front or two rear and two front? TY

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

One seat should be four: x2 front and x2 rear.

[@scimitar4211]

How wide wheels tires can I put on an ND? 17” wheels

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

You can run a 245/40-17 on a 17x9 if you do a bit of fender rolling.

[@Purplehaste]

tho no "details later" on the wiring of the lights on NA/NB..

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Sorry for the missed info. The NA's don't need any additional wiring. He was specifically talking about wiring for the un-lit NB rear corner lights. We were planning on offering a kit and instructions to light the NB rear options, but we do not have an ETA. This can easily be done with some simple wiring. Feel free to drop us a message at [e-mail] if you need help with the details.

[@murray6188]

@@FlyinMiataVideo hey he mentioned the back reflectors don't have the wiring on the nb in the United states but mine is right hand drive as I live in the UK. Does that change anything?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

@@murray6188 Right hand drive isn't likely to be a factor, but local laws will be. We don't have specific information on the UK cars so you may have to look for yourself.

How much dimmer are the smoked versions vs the clear??

[@Yowzoe]

A percentage would be great.

[@christopherjackson210]

I know Yowzoe is looking for a percentage but, as I have not seen the clear lights in person I cannot a comparison. What I can tell you is that I just installed the smoked version on my 19 mx5 and they look amazing against the soul crystal red paint and they are a magnitude of order brighter than the stock bulbs. I can’t imagine how bright the clear version must be. Very happy with their performance.
