Mazda CX-5 LED - Headlights & Fog Lights - How To Install (2013+)

[@downhillskier7]

8mm socket do undo 4 screws. The LED Fog lights will need to be clocked so LED chips face 9 and 3 o clock to sides as H11 connector faces at 4 o clock on the fog lights vs straight down 6 o clock on H11 headlights. The Foglight will require aiming 4” below the center line of the Foglight at 25’ away from vertical wall. The H11 LED bulbs should be close or 2” below center line headlight at distance 25’ away from vertical wall.

Just purchased and installed mine for my Mazda CX5 today. They work fantastic, and easy to install! The WOW! factor will be there from the moment you first turn them on. Thanks for this video!

[@ScheldonR]

Chris Johnson is your vehicle equipped with HID

[@capricejohnson3128]

No. I just had the regular halogen headlights. This will work for your CX-5 just as shown in the video. Installation was very easy.

[@PrecisionLED]

Glad to hear it went smoothly, thank you for the support!

[@capricejohnson3128]

@@PrecisionLED no problem! They still work just like the day they were installed over two years ago on my Mazda CX-5! Great visibility and distance. Worth every penny.

[@Nikkymomo]

When you finally get your hand on it. Make sure you push the clip located on the lower end of connector first, before pushing down on connector, otherwise you may yank wire or wires out.

[@PrecisionLED]

Thanks for the tip!

[@alonzotanner1226]

I have a 2016.5 Mazda CX-5. My left headlight keeps flickering. I don't think the bulb is bad cuz it would stay on and solid for like 10-15 seconds then suddenly shut off then go back on again. Then stay on for like most of my drive then be okay. How do I check to make sure the power connection is solid? It looks hard to get to the left headlight. You showed the right one here

[@PrecisionLED]

What you are experience could indeed be a power distribution issue. The best way to approach this would be to get your vehicle's battery checked to ensure it is not underperforming. However, this could also be a bulb or ballast issue. In order to pinpoint the problem you could just simple swap the bulbs. If the issue follows the bulb over to the opposite side, it is a bulb problem. If it stays on the same side with the unmoved ballast, it would be a ballast issue.

[@dalyruiz1188]

All Mazda cx5 need a ballast or can use led bulb without ballast?

[@조타로-r3i]

Hey, i’m having hard taking plugging off the connector from the bulb, any tips?

[@michaelkuzmin]

Do you really need those metal boxes that you call ballasts? Have you looked into how much of a difference it actually makes? Why would they be important for LED, but not for halogen?

[@horeamarinescu1016]

What about the Brights bulb, the 9005 ?

[@bobbybassman0917]

How about the high beam?how do you install it?thanks

[@j.castino7585]

I don't understand why these bulbs are not legal for street use in the USA. You can get a new car with LED headlights from the factory. So, what is the difference?

[@ArmandoMartinez-fi9qv]

I just replace the bulbs, but the high beam turns on and off while a drive. If I not mistake mazda cx5 2013 has a day running lights. There is something that I can do to fix that ?

[@PrecisionLED]

Are you installing HIDs or LEDs? The issue you are experiencing sounds like an HID issue, as the bulbs will flicker when interfering with your DRL system. However, our LED bulbs do not flicker, as they are designed to dim, exactly as your DRLs do.

[@DCIROCK23]

How do you adjust the fog light? Cause my is off

[@ruccicaracena5768]

can you show us how to install an oem foglights on a 2020 Mazda CX-5 Sport on a non foglights bumper? thank you

[@PrecisionLED]

Thanks for the suggestion. We will keep an eye out for a 2020 CX-5 Sport out here in Los Angeles for an updated shoot. Subscribe for updates!

[@rizaldycruz8301]

what bulb you used for daytime running lights?

[@Flash363]

Same bulb size for both the headlights and fog lights on the first gen CX-5??

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for your interest. Yes, we do have listed that both the low beam and fog light would use the same H11 bulb type, so you would end up installing 2 of the same LED kits.

[@ArmandoMartinez-fi9qv]

I replace my halogen lights for H11 LED lights, but I have difficulty driving at night, I feel that my lights are to low. I was wondering if you can upload a video showing to all mazda drivers how to adjust the lights. Before hand thanks for all the helpful videos..

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for your interest. You do not typically have to adjust your headlight cutoff after installation. However, there is typically a screw on the back of your housing you can twist to adjust the cutoff line if you feel necessary.

[@downhillskier7]

10mm wrench or socket to adjust screw clock wise to lower, counter clockwise to rise beam pattern. Measure from dot or center of headlight to ground. On flat level ground 25’ ft from vertical wall, beam pattern should be 2 inches below the center of the headlight bulb center. Foglight beam pattern 25’ ft from vertical wall on level ground should be 4” inches below Foglight bulb center height. Loosen with 10mm socket screw slide forward to raise beam pattern or rearward to lower beam pattern. LED H11 bulbs must be clocked so LED faces horizontal at 9 and 3 o clock to produce cutoff line in reflector housing or you will have scattered beam pattern in Foglight at 25’ away from vertical wall!

[@jamesa6272]

Hi will the housings have to be re aimed after these led bulbs?

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for your interest. You do not typically have to readjust the headlights after the LED is installed. However, if you feel you do, there should be a small screw on top of the housing.

[@BigBoss-tk6lh]

Hi,,,can the fog lights of the same cx5 be aligned or adjusted?? ,,is there a screw for that ?

[@downhillskier7]

The fog light adjustment screw requires a 10mm socket to loosen the screw, slide forward to raise beam pattern and rearward to lower beam pattern as it pivots at the top on both sides. LED H11 bulb will need to be clocked because connector is at 4 o clock and should face downwards at 6 o clock. LED chips should face 9 and 3 o clock when view from the front to produce correct beam pattern in reflector housing at 25’ away from a vertical wall. Measure the height of Foglight bulb from center to ground at 25’ away from a vertical wall Foglight should be 4” inches below Foglight center line.

[@Tomcoma2832]

I am having a hard time Discerning The difference between the premium and standard bulbs on your website. What is the difference?

[@PrecisionLED]

Check out our video where we explain the differences between premium and standard bulbs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3a2XqWue8qqZpI

[@hanalajgot9929]

Awesome video💪☺️ will this work on 2016 cx-5 touring?

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for your interest. Yes, this video is compatible with your 2016, as it applies to all years in the first generation CX5.

[@gregoryhudson123]

PrecisionLED

[@juhalievonen]

are your led h11 bulbs brighter then the sylvania super bright white bulbs as drivers and fog lights

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes, our CREE Premium H11 package would be 2-3x brighter than your halogen bulbs, so I would expect them to be much brighter than the Sylvania super bright white bulbs.

[@taralets5386]

Sir, is 2015 CX 5 Sport have the same wire connections for different models?

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for your interest. Yes, your 2015 CX Sport would use the same wiring connector as shown in the video, as it uses the same bulb type for the low beams.

[@ramled0697]

Is it the same kind of light bulb for headlight and foglight?

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes! It is the same bulb for headlights and fog lights, you can find the kit here: bit.ly/2PcnMXK You would just need to up the quantity to 2.

[@danyolooy]

For the headlights, will these LED bulbs work to serve as both the high and low beam lights in the same socket?

[@PrecisionLED]

The 2013+ CX-5 uses separate bulbs for the low and high beams, so the installation shown in the video will upgrade your lows only. The high beam installation is identical, and you would install this kit: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-cree-led-headlights.html

[@rundesewolawen]

For the high beams, do those LED’s give much more light? Do they reach much further, and how much more would that be? I need more light for off road driving and wonder if changing these lights would be an option instead of placing a led-bar? Thanks

[@downhillskier7]

Morimoto 2 stroke 3.0 is the only 9005 bulb that will work with DRL as it 10% power on day time running lights and full power on high beams or if don’t mine loosing DRL function then GTR Ultra 2 9005 bulbs are plenty bright

[@PmPbreeze]

Thanks. I got it done from your video.

[@PrecisionLED]

Glad to hear. Thanks for watching the video!

[@naturessap]

Will this work for 2007 Mazda 5, if not. What does.

[@PrecisionLED]

Hi! The fogs would be the same as linked in the description box above but for the headlight upgrade you would install H7s which you can find here: www.precisionled.com/premium-h7-cree-led-headlights.html

[@TheVoodooChildX]

What about the high beam?, Do you got another bulb or its the same one?

[@PrecisionLED]

Your vehicle would project the high beams from a completely separate bulb as your lows. You would install a 2nd LED kit in order to upgrade your highs. You can find the compatible kit here: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-cree-hl-gl-headlight-led.html

[@keithtajiri6535]

When replacing the fog light with led bulb is there any modification to the housing? Is the led same length as the halogen bulb?

[@PrecisionLED]

No, there would not have to be any modification to your fog housing. Also, the LED would be very close, if not identical to the length of your halogen bulb.

[@downhillskier7]

You do need to clock the LED H11 bulbs in reflector fog light housing as the connector is at the 4 o clock position and should be at 6 o clock position

[@LVBRogers]

Do these also work as high beams or is there something else?

[@PrecisionLED]

The vehicle would use separate LED bulbs for the high and low beams. The video shows the low beams and fogs. However, the high beam installation would be virtually identical to the low beam installation. Here is the kit you would install: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-cree-led-headlights.html

[@LVBRogers]

@@PrecisionLED thank you

[@sc3la]

Are the fog light and headlight the same lightbulb? The links take me to the same page for the H11 kit. Is this right?

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for your interest. Yes, that is correct, as both the headlamps and fogs use the same H11 bulb type. We listed the package twice to show that customers need to purchase/install 2 of the same kits in order to upgrade both lights.

[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

Another excellent how-to video. Thanks!

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@WellnessWonder89]

2016 cx5 : I cannot disconnect the wire from the hallogen bulb. Tried pushing it down with my hand with full power and still wont come off.. any suggestion?

[@PrecisionLED]

If you send a photo over to [e-mail] we should be able to make a suggestion for you.

[@ryansubrata7148]

Hi, do you have LED bulbs for the front turn signals? If so, how does it work (is it a switchback?) Also, does it need an additional resistor to prevent the hyper flash? Thanks!

[@PrecisionLED]

We actually do not advertise turn signal LEDs as they would hyper flash when ignited. Unfortunately, installing a resistor would not resolve the issue.

[@downhillskier7]

Headlight Revolution sells GTR Ultra I LED 1157 iLED switch back bulbs with resistor or VLED sells 1157 V6 switch back bulbs with resistor for front turn signal bulbs that are amber when turning and white when park lights on.

[@ictl87]

I dont see the product on ur website. Can you link me in? And do u deliver worldwide?

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for your interest. Here is a direct product link: goo.gl/iBdU6u

[@jef3366]

where is the power source from the ballast?

[@PrecisionLED]

Please refer to 2:40 in the video where we connect the power wire.

[@pietrogaleno3127]

Where is the wire that the power wire connects to coming from?

[@PrecisionLED]

The power wiring coming from our ballast connects to the relay power harness that comes from the vehicle. The relay power harness is the plug that your stock halogen bulb connects to.

[@SiNaaN]

does this work on a 2016 cx3 ?

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes, the installation process would be virtually identical. The only difference, if any, would be physically locating your halogen bulbs.

[@andreiitempra]

how do I know if I have the first generation cx-5 2016?

[@PrecisionLED]

The fist generation would be all years 2012-2016.

[@williamhicks253]

Great video! Will this be compatible with the 2014- present Mazda 3 models as well?

[@PrecisionLED]

+W. Woodson No. You will need the Mazda 3 package, www.precisionled.com/mazda-3-led-interior-lights-kits-2014-present.html

[@williamhicks253]

+PrecisionLED Ok cool. I saw that video, very detailed! Will there be any 2014 Mazda 3 headlight packages soon?

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes, we do indeed have a headlight package for the 2014 CX-5. You can find the compatible product here: www.precisionled.com/premium-h11-cree-hl-gl-headlight-led.html

[@Orange-yp9bl]

+PrecisionLED is there led license plate lights available for the cx5 2016

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes, we do carry license plate LEDs for the CX5, which you can find here: www.precisionled.com/premium-t10-canbus-6smd-5730-led.html Please note, you would have to up the quantity of LEDs to match the amount in your license plate.

[@darwincabrera7197]

What brand hid headlight did you used?

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for your interest. We only sell our own PLED brand LEDs, which you can find a link to the product directly in the product description.

[@kit249178]

Do the led lights turn on automatically when I turn my light switch to "auto"?

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes, the LEDs would react exact as your halogens do. The auto feature is simply a sensor that tells your lows to turn on when it gets dark. It is the same as flipping the switch.

[@kit249178]

Thank you!

[@Evangelionification]

THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT，IT HELPS！

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for watching!

[@markwilliams6378]

My 2014 CX 5 touring projector halogens looks like a sealed unit with no access to the bulb

[@PrecisionLED]

You should be able to access the bulb, it just may be different from what is shown in the video. If you send a photo over to us at [e-mail] we should be able to make a suggestion!

[@Rafa-Rios]

Mazda CX-5 use cambus sistem ?

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes, we only sell high quality Canbus LEDs to ensure you do not experience any dash errors, or other issues with your LEDs.

[@sebastiandiaz94]

Tengo un kit de led sin driver externo, ¿funciona?

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes, we do have the H11 without the driver. However, we do not recommend it for the highs, as the kit linked in the description is much brighter and safer for nighttime driving visibility.

[@Flash363]

Is there a kit for LED DRL?

[@PrecisionLED]

I believe the 2013+ CX-5 would project the DRLs from the same bulb as the high beams. Installing LEDs on your highs will convert both your highs and DRLs. You can find the compatible kit here: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-cree-led-headlights.html

[@3bhui]

@@PrecisionLED DRL's that use the high beams are typically made to run dimmer by operating them at a voltage less than 12V. Do your aftermarket high beam LED's dim properly for DRL use at lower voltage?

[@downhillskier7]

2016 CX5 GT have LED DRL under the projector HID. All other 2016 CX5 have halogen H11 bulbs in projector housing than you have 9005 bulbs in high beam and DRL are high beam at 1/2 power. Morimoto 2 stroke 3.0 9005 will be at 10% power for DRL and full power on high beams.

[@LGtedford]

are these waterproof?

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes, the LEDs are virtually waterproof, as they have an epoxy filling.

[@QuocNguyen-ct5dm]

Did you say that the 3M tape were included?

[@PrecisionLED]

Thank you for your interest. Yes, the 3M mounting pads are included in all Headlight kits.

[@BengLang84]

Do you still sell this? Thanks! 🙂

[@PrecisionLED]

Yes, we do indeed still sell the product used in the video. Here is the proper kit for your CX-5: bit.ly/2PcnMXK
