    Default 2006 Mazda 3 LED turn signal conversion???

    Hey everyone... I've been looking through some old posts about this topic but I haven't been getting straight answers.
    First off, is it possible to switch out my halogen amber front and back turn signals for LEDs on my 2006 Mazda 3 hatch? If so, where can I buy them and do I need some sort of conversion kit?
    Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated!!

    They are very bright. I am using them as well.



    I love them. I recommend them to anyone running SMD switchbacks which are not nearly bright enough.

    Maybe I should look into these, as the ones I have aren't nearly bright enough during the day

    But yes OP, you can find bulbs for it even on eBay. But as previous members have said here, try out the bulbs they recommend for good brightness. In terms of needing anything else, just resistors to put in-line with the circuit if you don't want to have hyperflash. If you're okay with it, then the bulbs on their own is all you'll need

    Thanks everyone! What if I didn't necessarily want switchbacks.. like I just want the LED turn signal. What's the best option?

    Changing the interior lights won't require any resistors. Corksport makes an interior LED lighting kit that comes with instructions as are very bright. I've had mine for 2 years now and they are still going strong.
