Don't install those bulbs. It will wreak havoc to your vehicle's ECU. It will cause nearly all systems to act like something is wrong, making all the warning lights on your dash to turn on. I spend $120 for my local Mazda dealer to diagnose the issue. It all pointed back to these bulbs.

My personal assessment after all that is, these Philips LED bulbs are not compatible with Mazda's design of the electronics on the CX5's. Luckily for me, the merchant I purchased the bulbs from allowed me to return them for a full refund (including shipping).

I ended up buying the OEM 2016 Mazda CX-5 GT LED Taillight assemblies (Left & Right, Inner and Outer) for around $600 for the complete set. Installation was a breeze, and it was all plug-and-play. Very happy with the outcome! OEM is typically always best for form, fit and function!

you mean this taillight ?

More interior trim than I want to remove but probably adds a lot of light to rear area.

For all the owners of 2016 CX-5 GT w/tech pkg... what color temperature would you say the LED headlights are? 5K or 6K?

I'd say the light temperature on OEM LED headlights is 4.5K ~ 5K from my estimate.

I would lean towards the 5 to 5.5k seeing the Oem HIDs are 4.3 to 4.5k. Colour temp on LEDs are visibly towards the cooler side.

I changed out my fog lights to 5K LED bulbs and they match up pretty well with the 4.3K HIDs - much more so than the stock incandescent fogs.

Thanks for the validation. Im waiting on my LED fog bulbs to hopefully arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed they are 5k as advertised, I don't want any blue in my lights!

starmagic · May 29, 2016

3.2k - 5k would be nice not to white or blue. I bought a Recon lighting kit 5k is just right for me. I will post some pics asap.

There're new LED headlight bulbs from TRS Not sure how good those are but they claim it works and the lumens are more than HID at 5000lm.
