Headlights Bosch or OEM Mazda

I daily my ND3. It's still brand new so I'll see what I have in store as far as reliability and maintenance. I got the soft top club trim. I traded in an 01 Mazda Protege DX for it. I drive at night so I can confidently say that the headlights are by far the best I've had.

Had a 1975 Merc a few years ago and I swear the Bosch headlights were original

You have late Bosch headlights, in Europe they came with plastic diffusers, ZKW headlights and Bosch headlights with projectors had glass ones.

First thing I did when I bought mine was swap out the dim eBay halos for some stock replacements. Still in there 12+ years later!

Definitely not the most popular choice but I had beat oem headlights and couldn\u2019t see a damn thing and you\u2019re not gonna catch me spending $500+ for bosch\u2019s just to be oem+ that don\u2019t improve visibility. Honestly pretty happy with the look and I really like the taillights.

It\u2019s a nightmare when I drive my 5 at night\u2026 being so low and everyone driving SUV\u2019s the lights just wreck me constantly! Sitting at lights I basically have someone firing a torch directly into my rear view mirror.

I had to lower the angle of my mazda's headlights. Out of the factory, they were way too high and directly shining into other car's cabins

I can tell you that the old school headlights in the Miata suck.

I have bosche oem lights and they have very poor performance at night.

Is the question whether the owner replaced the horrible SAE/DOT 7" sealed beam units with E-Code H4 7" from Bosch or Hella or Cibié?
