Not yet - I have until around March as allowed 6 months after driving it.

There are videos on youtube explaining how to remove the rear bumper. It doesn't look difficult to me. So I plan to do that and examine the fog lights. Then buy appropriate automotive cable and any required fog light parts (also available used on ebay) if I can't just move the interior fitting from one to the other.

The headlights could prove a much bigger issue. The manual says you can drive "temporarily" in a country that drives on the opposite side of the road from how the headlights are. Certainly there is only a small "kick up" so I'm hoping it might just pass as is. If not, new light units seem to cost around £550 but all the ones I've seen online (at UK online stores mostly) say "for driving on the right" - i.e. the opposite of the UK system. A bit crazy and not sure what I'll do there.

What is your situation? Are you making any progress in any of these areas?

 

Hey,

Sorry to jump on an old thread, but I have the exact same issues in the opposite direction.

I have had a look at the rear fog lamps and only one side has the hole cut out to receive a bulb, so not as easy as just moving the wires over to the other side. I was thinking maybe to buy an EU rear fog lamp, so I can have 2 rear fog light (should look nice), but how on Earth can I wire it up? Can I just splice into the existing rear fog light wiring? Will there be enough voltage to power both?

Also on the headlight situation I found that it maybe possible to adjust the AFS ECU from RHD to LHD - that maybe be bs though waiting on Mazda to confirm.

Importing is a right pain!

 

I've got my car registered now and yes I agree importing is very difficult. In fact, its so difficult and time-consuming they make it very, very hard to do the right thing. Even when its done you have the question of "should I go to a "specialist" insurer who will charge 4x the regular price or should I just call it a Mazda CX-5 SE-L when I know it was a Mazda CX-5 <some other name>

I just wanted the minimum to pass and didn't care about both fog lights on at the same time. So from memory I spliced in a new cable and ran it along the rear from one fog light to the other. I made sure the previous fog light was switched off to avoid any current issues. Maybe someone else knows if it would be fine to run two.

 

I gave up - couldn't find EU spec headlights with AFS - just drove if back to the UK hopefully someone wants to buy it else those thiefs at webuyanycar are going to give me peanuts. I really liked that motor oh well :/
