- 2016 CX-5
for those interested:
I made these into cup LED's for the CX-5.......
https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned)
these will fit the CX-5 cup holders,
no way I was going to spend $50 on cup LED's:

also, do not buy the eBay solar powered ones, they're good for like month but eventually the battery goes bad and they're junk:

first thing to do is slowly open the lens cap and remove the screw so the LED can sit flat at the bottom of the cup holder
there are 3 wires, I connected only the black and blue (blue setting was bright enough) red wire was too bright
lift up the center console, start from the inside of the armrest, see link for instructions....

remove the OEM rubber coaster and drill a tiny hole and feed the wires thru and connect to your power source.....
get some butyl rubber sealant and apply on bottom to prevent rattling and also seal the wire feed thru on the bottom side
button everything up and impress your passengers with your lighted up water bottles
also if too bright cover up the top with some thin rubber gaskets to reduce brightness
in case you don't want lights, just place OEM rubber coasters over the LED and cover up....
