1.) You can go to the DIY section of this site and get all the bulb sizes, it's one of the stickies I believe.
2.) You can use the search as there are just a ton of threads on LED's
3.) You can get the correct bulb sizes right out of the manual (if you don't have one, it's a free download at www.mazdausa.com

4.) Having said all that......you will get a lot of opinions, but I like VLED's for all of mine.

Here is their site. http://www.v-leds.com/

Most sites of this nature will have fitment guides and or a place to enter in your type of car to see what you need.


EDIT: Well I see Phantom was typing as I was and gave you a direct link to the bulb list. The reality is......and don't take this the wrong way, but you need to do some work on your own. If everyone spoon fed you all the time, you wouldn't know how to feed yourself. It's the ole "teach a man to fish" thing. Don't take offense, just put in the time and think a little bit.

I had some Led's from superbrightleds.com I didn't like them.
They didn't last that long maybe 6 months if that, and they are not very bright but they are cheap.

i've had some in for several years now without any issues.
i didn't buy the cheapest versions they had to offer, i think if
you want them to last you have to spend a little money
