I own a 2010 mazda3 gx and I would like to upgrade my interior to led and was curious if I can just order the led bulb package or is there any wiring that needs to be done for the bulbs to work thank you

with the correct bulb type, it's just plug and play.

Thank you for the quick reply you know of a reputable place to purchase the bulbs I have only been able to find ones on ebay from China

Corksport sells a kit, I like it. Other option is buying kits or individual bulbs from Amazon. Quality it usually okay.

Second the eBay. Cheap and for the most part reliable. Specifically if you're only using them for interior lights. Had them on my elantra for like.. 3 yrs now and on my mazda for 1 yr.. Both still working well [emoji14]

Plus if they go it's cheap and relatively easy to quickly replace. I always buy spares in the event that they do go out, since they are so cheap but normally take like a month to get to you lol. But I've never actually had to use them.. Always need up giving them to friends for their car. That's pretty much the main downside... Shipping time.

Least in my experiences.

I guess it depends on the buyer I bought mine they came pretty fast for Canadian shipping standards!

I always get them from China so it takes a decade... Cause I'm cheap like that [emoji16]

But I know with more local sellers or guys from the states will take about 1-2weeks.. Buy from them sometimes too when I can't wait lol

True. Specially with Amazon prime nowadays. Lol
HAMIST 8pcs White 31mm(1.25") 5050 4 Smd 72 Lumens 12v Festoon Dome Light LED Bulbs De3175 De3021 De3022 3175(pack of 8) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00YRHF5IO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_IXhxwb88MHXKJ

I believe the 31mm ones are the ones for the Mazda's?

I personally think 4-6 LEDs are plenty enough... They have versions with like a million.. But they just light up your cabin like a Christmas tree at night.. Unless that's what you're going for lol.

I've used SKperformance numerous times for HID's and various LED's. Yes, he definitely is more expensive than others.
Have I ever had any issues with any of his install services or products?!?!? Not a single issue.
With that said, I would definitely support our forum sponsors first and foremost. sp3GT has also supplied and installed HID kits for myself and friends over the years and I've never had issues with him either. Only reason why I don't seem him more often is because he's on the opposite end of the city and I don't work in Richmond Hill anymore.

(You're probably asking how come I've had so many install and purchases for various lighting projects?!?! I flip cars more often than others :p )
