Is it possible to install stronger / upgraded H11 LEDs in a 2018 CX-5?
The technical docs show that the headlights are a sealed unit, and say the bulbs cannot be removed.
I had a quick look, but couldn't see any easily accessible sockets to unplug. I could easily reach the front indicator bulbs.


Thx

But the original Ones in the car must be LED and in that case they can not be H11. If they are H11 Halogens then they should be replaceable.

I pre-bought them before taking delivery of the CX5, after reading all the LED upgrade topics.
Looks like the 2018 model cannot be upgraded (dunno)

your original LED are very good. Just use the car and stop trying to fix something that does not need fixing. The after market bulbs can never be better than the original set up. Enjoy.
