Headlights HELIX 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.

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!

Hey there. Wanted to comment on this as I noticed the same thing on my '22 when I bought it.\n\nThis is normal. DO NOT TAKE THEM APART!\n\nWhat you are seeing is the line between the high and low beam LED arrays in your headlight. The new design in '22 made big improvements to the headlight performance and this line is a result of that.\n\nI agree it is somewhat distracting but the new design having more LEDs available for the high beams makes a huge difference in how well they light up the road when they are on.

For what its worth, I had the Helix headlights on my 2017 GSW and yes, I had to set those up with HID ballasts and HID bulbs. I was able to tuck the ballast inside the back of the headlight and put the bulb access door/cover back on for a pretty clean install.

Finally got my hands on some Helix headlights after months of waiting. I couldn't be happier with the results!

Just installed them, will have to see how they work out.

Just finished the install and I have noticed 2 things on this Helix unit. 1. When the low-beams are in use they seem to run at a lower power. 2. When turning on the high-beams it also makes the low-beams run at their apparent normal full power.

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 drive a Mazda2. The sheer joy of having those big "trucks" behind me at night is amazing. I need sunglasses at 8pm because those fuckers are brighter than the sun. Cop it in the side mirrors and the rear view mirror.
