Replacing Headlight and Fog Light Bulbs with LED Model

Model: Mazda CX-5 MK 1, KE - Years 2012-2017
Part: Accessory kit

Replacing the headlight bulbs (H11) and fog light bulbs with LED types will give the vehicle a much more modern and appealing look, as well as improve visibility since LED lights provide greater brightness compared to traditional halogen lights; the kit includes not only the new bulbs but also a control unit that allows for a proper bypass of the bulb's power connector; disconnect the plug from the original bulb, remove the bulb by turning it anti-clockwise, and fit the new bulb with the power cable facing downwards; then connect the control unit to the new bulb and the original power socket, securing it with double-sided adhesive to the slam panel; repeat the same steps for the fog light.
