Hi Guys, I have a 2005 Mazda 3 sedan and would like to upgrade my stock lights to Heliolite Headlight Bulb - Part#: HLO1610302 (http://www.autopartsway.ca/PartDetails.cfm?W0133-1610302/HLO/Mazda/2005/3/i/2.0L_L4/allB/Electrical,_Lighting_and_Body/Lighting_-_Exterior/Headlight_Bulb/pagenum1/tabS). How difficult would this be?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Also, I am purchasing new Wiper blades and I noticed that some are 19" and others are 21" (left and right sold separately). Am I safe to go with 21" for left and right? Why are there 2 sizes for the Mazda 3 :( :(

Let me know!

For the wiper blades you need/want 21and 19 . 2*21 will overlap the edge of your windshield.

With the wipers alot of cars have 2 different sizes.
For the hids do you have stock hids? I doubt it but there are a few sponsors that sell hid conversion kits, look around.
As well don't quote me on this but I believe you would have to do something with you drls, I have an 07 so I didn't have to mess with them.

This link doesn't work. But my HID link (posted above) is all I need for the HID's then right?

And concerning the wipers.. so which side is 21" and which is 19" lol I have bad feeling about this lol.

If your car came stock with HIDs, then yes, you can just use those bulbs. If your car came stock with halogens, then no, those won't fit. You need a HID kit with a H7 bulb (ballast + ignitor + bulb).

Ok sorry, if your car came with HIDs stock, those bulbs *might* fit. I don't have stock HIDs and don't remember what bulb type it is. But I'm assuming if you're asking about this, your car is probably halogens.

On an 05 you will need a full HID Conversion kit including a relay harness. Contact our sponsors, Nextmod, Garage16 or illuminationTechniques as they are roughly the same price as the ones you linked, but backed with a great warranty.

Wipers are 21" drivers side and 19" passenger side. You cannot use 2x 21" wipers because it will over lap the edge of your windshield.
