2015 CX-5 headlight conundrum
Hello all!
I have been reading up, soaking up your collective wisdom. Thanks for posting!
My front headlight failed. I looked up the parts, found H11 and 9005 bulbs and attempted to change them. I planned to change out the low and high beams on both sides. I watched YouTube videos, numerous times, before, during and after many attempts. No go. Bruises and ground teeth later, a neighbor tried to do it. He also failed. I took my 2015 CX-5 to the dealer. They told me the bulbs were not the correct ones and that a ballast was bad. They did not have the parts to repair it that day. The price to fix it far exceeds what I thought it might cost. I was browsing the Mazda-parts.com website and the diagram for the 2015 CX-5 has the bulbs I purchased listed as the parts needed. Can anyone give me some insight as to what might be going on in my car?

They have not confirmed that with me, but I am sure that it what the issue is. Thanks for responding. I was so frustrated that noone there seemed to know that 2015 CX-5 came in two flavors.
