Greetings -
Own a 2014 Touring CX-5. Want to add a hitch so that I can add a rear bike rack.

Local dealership wanted $600 installed, just for the Mazda hitch. That's not gonna happen.

Went to etrailer. Selected the vehicle. Then it wanted to know the style -- with or without LED taillights. Ummm ... .

So ... can anyone tell me how I can most easily (and with certainty) determine the taillight style? Any and all insight (as well as links to pictures of the differences) welcome.

Thanks kindly,
- Richard

 

Taillight on the Mazda? Incandescent bulb. Combo tail/stop but separate bulb for amber turn. LED taillights didn't appear until 2016.5 and that only on the top GT trim.

 

Thanks much.

Anyone in Northern VA have a garage in the Alexandria / Arlington / Falls Church area that they can recommend?
