My CX-5 is a 2016 sport with manual transmission, a wonderful car that gets 32 mpg average hwy/city driving.
I have replaced the night-time lights (low beam) with the Amazon Nilight H11 LED Headlight Bulbs, mfr # N1A2H11XA2. They are 6000K and work very well. I am quite happy with them.
They have little fans behind the lights to cool the voltage regulators. After you shut off your engine in the garage, you can hear them if you listen for them.
I learned how to adjust the height by using a long-shaft #2 phillips screwdriver. There is a slot you push it down and the screwdriver turns a little gear that raises or lowers the headlight beam.
After lowering them I can see the road better than with the original halogen headlights, and other drivers don't flash their brights at me!
Now, I am in search for an LED DRL light set that will function like the original halogen DRL (day-time running lights) when driving with headlights off, and which function as high-beam headlights when you pull back on the headlight lever, or push it forward all the way. Has anyone found DRL LEDs for the 2016 Mazda CX-5?
