Just installed LED side brake light bulbs on my 2017 CX5 Touring. The LEDS are red in color output and put out 510 Lumens at full brake and 255 at driving mode at night. The 2017 Touring comes with an LED 3rd brake light but the sides are just clear halogen bulbs.
I must say, it makes a BIG DIFFERENCE. The light is more red than OEM (OEM bulb is clear and uses the red lens to get the red color) and much brighter in both modes and crisper than the OEM incandescent bulb. Simple mod and does the job.
