Hey Guys,

I have a 2007 Mazda 3 Hatch GT. I have the factory Xenon kit on my car, and I was looking into replacing my foglight bulbs to something that would match the xenons. Does anyone know of a specific bulb that I should buy? I have searched on ebay, and I don't want to purchase anything yet until I am absolutely certain they will look good on my car. Do the bulbs have to be H11?

Thanks guys!

2007 take 9006 type bulb as H11 are for 2004 - 2006

Try Eurolites that Lockdown sells as they have the same wattage as our stock bulbs. Go anything with a higher wattage and you risk melting wires or have a bulb blowing up.

Hey guys, I was just reading through my owner's manual and I stumbled upon this. "Bulb Replacement is not possible. The rear combination component must be replaced."
Does this mean I cannot buy after market bulbs for my car?

Read the manual again. It says "the REAR combination component". It's referring to your REAR LED tails. I thought you're trying to replace the fog lights.

I know there are guys on the Mazda3forum.com that use Luminics and I haven't heard much feedback about them. Shop around as I think the prices for the Luminics are a bit steep on the links you listed
The Eurolites one of our sponsor sells come with a one yr warranty so its a pretty good deal.

hit up CDN Autoworks.

They sell lots of stuff on the Protege Club and are highly regarded:

for fogs stick 35W as anything higher might melt the housing.

i personally had the JDM yellow light bulbs from luminics and i was very happy with them. it only cost me $35USD

For the 2007 I do need the 55w H11's right? Someone else told me I needed 9006 bulbs. Who do I trust?

GT's need 9006. Not sure about the rest.
