Thanks for this. I must admit my Chinese isn't the best :))) but hopefully I can figure it out. Some people say it is better to get 4300k because is more useful light. What do u reckon?
It depends on your preference. I move up to 5000k eventually as it looks far much better than 4300k on my M3S. I also upgraded the fog lamp to Philips X-tremePower and keep the stock high beam unchanged for foggy & rainy day driving.
They look so bright! Very nice! So in regards to the original ones...are they okay? Because I am worried now! I will get my car in 3 weeks. I could get them later.
Thanks for all your help, but do you think I could use the original bulbs until they die? Are they really that bad? I thought the projector type headlights are okay. I ve got Osram Night breakers at present, they ok! But my headlights in my Focus are normal ones.
It looks really nice, just a question... The main driving lights are they the original ones? If yes are they okay? I am getting my 3 in 3 weeks time and a bit worried about the power of the lights.
They're the stock one. Look O.K. in video or photo but aren't good in real life. I swapped them with Philips 4300 CrystalVision first and moved up to 5000k DiamonVision eventually.
hey can you tell me what led size you are using for the Parking light led? and which brand

Thanks

Thanks man. Glad you love it.
Check my video list & you'll find videos of both H11 CrystalVision + W5W & H11 DiamondVision + LED.
BTW, are you from the States? If I'm not wrong, Mazda3 there doesn't come with individual parking light.

The stock one isn't bad if not comparing with Philips.

My pleasure. It should be H11 (low) & HB3/9005 (main) & replacement is in a breeze.

No, it's kind of position light.
Parking light is different from signal light.
