LED Scheinwerfer sind nicht das Problem. Falsch eingestellte Scheinwerfer aber schon.

I swapped my wife's headlight on her Mazda CX-5 after she hit a deer at <30mph. Surprisingly the damage was just to the headlight and a few small cracks on her bumper. $500 great condition ebay headlight swap and looks like new.

Pros: headlight looks like new

Finally got around to getting these signature headlights installed. They look soooo good! They are OEM halos and fit perfectly. I’m surprised that there’s no programming involved at all. Everything just works and I guess Mazda made them plug and play. Took about an hour to do the whole thing but definitely worth it!

Pros: look good, fit perfectly

Yeah the headlights may be the single most replaced part on this car. Their reliability drags the rest of the vehicle down. At least it’s not powertrain.

Cons: reliability drags vehicle down

I just fixed my 2016 Mazda6 for the second time through insurance. First time was a few years ago where the other was at fault and it was about $2500 for front bumper and grill OEM. This time they claimed it was my fault and repaired fender, bumper, headlight for also about $2500 after market parts. The next month my insurance went up from $700/6 mo to $1000/6 mo.

Cons: insurance rates went up

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.

Cons: lights wreck me constantly

It was a terrible headlight design with a built in fan that failed very quickly, so it's believable that they are short on them.

Cons: terrible design, fan failed

Maintenance after 5 years warranty is expensive. Parts are pricey and hard to come by. 1 bnew headlight alone can cost you 6 digits.

Cons: pricey headlight, hard to come by

I\u2019ve had a CX-30 for almost two years. I love the car, but I wouldn\u2019t get another Mazda after this. Nothing but trouble, sadly. On average, I\u2019ve had to go to the dealership every three months for different issues. Next week I\u2019m getting a headlight replaced, and it would cost $1\u20132k if it weren\u2019t under warranty.

Pros: love the car

Cons: nothing but trouble

Vehicle: Mazda
