hey all. i got the LED's and the fog lights from autolumination.com. i got the 6-led ones for the postion lights (ones closest to the Mazda logo) in hyper white but they turned out blue, looks really cool tho and the fog lights i got the H11's in hyper white from there as well. you need to take the bumper off for the fog lights, i can post pictures of how to take out the postion lights if you want

Can you post the pics (or explain) how you changed the position lights? Did you have to remove the bumper to get to them?

Arrow Over....

The position lamps are easier than they look. They mount at a forty-five degree angle, not straight back. If you take off the fusebox lid and look into the fender, you'll see the bulb holder.

For the other side, you WILL have to take the ECU lid off.(...and it helps to have small hands!)

if you can post pictures and a detailed description of how to change the parking lights, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Chrism, your LED parking lights have the same problem that mine did from autolumination: the color doesn't match. Look at the third picture down, see how the driver side is more green in color and the passenger side is blue? I tried both the 6 LED bulbs and the matrix bulbs from them and both sets were non matching just like that. Now, I admit that the color is only slightly off and most wouldn't notice, but it bugged me enough to take them out.

I've got some Xtreme Force PIAA LEDs and H11s on order now, hope they will be to my liking.
