- Mazda CX5 Touring with PEP
I am going to buy them, just curious how difficult it is to do the install.
Hi,
Today I read, but I cannot find it again [emoji35] where, that the fog lights of the 2017 are plug and play. You can even see from the top of the bay engine the connector for the lights attached to the dummy plastic cover.
I am still looking for any info how to do the install because is something that I would love to add to my daughter's CX 5.
Today I did the fog lights for mi wife's 3 hatchback and it was very easy. You can watch it in Youtube (not my video) to give you an idea how easy it was. Even replacing the arm switch at the steering wheel.
If I find any more info, I'll keep you posted.
Super simple. Just make sure you order the fogs, switch and brackets with screws... cheap cover pops off and you can loosen the pig tail harness to plug your bulbs in... as far as access to the screws, I got under the bumper and removed the splash guard from underneath the car. More than enough room. Took me about an hour from start to finish.
Can anybody who's done this provide a couple pictures of the parts required? As in the fog lights and the switch?
So you need the fog lights ($270 - BAM WHOLESALEPARTS)
Then you need the switch for the auto on headlights? What kind of switch are we talking about it and where does it go?
Where do you get the stalk that comes off the steering wheel?
Lastly, how much light do the fogs really put out vs no fogs?
You either have auto on lights or you dont, if you do then get the auto on switch, both/either add a fog light power switch.
As to how much light? Highly subjective.
The lights on the CX5 that are led type, the beams are very crisp and focused as compared to a standard halogen. I like mine. Are they worth it? Completely subjective.
I assume I have auto on headlights. I have the Touring version. How do you check for sure if you have auto on?
I found the OEM fog light kit which includes the parts plus the switch. No stalk: https://www.mazdaparts.org/mazda-cx5-led-fog-lamp.html
I will get the fogs from them. The stalk I will probably get from the dealership. Is there a Mazda part # for the fog light stalk?

Look at your stalk, if you have auto on lights it will say auto on the stalk as a selected position. Does your touring have the preferred equipment package? It has auto on stalk.
Why not order the switch with the lights? The dealer price for the lights is $330...I think the switch is another $100? $41 from BAM.
Yes, I have the preferred equipment package so I should have the "auto on" lights.
Mazdaparts sells the switch with the fog lights. The stalk is sold separately.
