I changed all the major light bulb :

Low Beam : H11 - Osram Cool Blue Hyper + (5000k - white)
I find this is not totally white, but of course it's much whiter compare to stock original halogen bulb.
I find it bright enough. Note : As said from the website, this is not approved on public road.
But, since our Projector can control the beam height, I always use level 3 to reduce glare to car ahead in city drive.

Fog Light : H11 - Cree LED (6,000k - white)
As shown as photo - really bright & white. But little more hard to get the reflector to work properly. But worth the effort spent.

Fog lamp casing DRL - White color & turn on when car is start.
This used to be very bright when it's on and whenever i go into parking basement, it's much brighter then the original yellowish stock fog lamp. But not until I change the fog bulb to LED.

Position/Parking light : T10 LED White bulb
Got this from Mr DIY for RM7.50/pair (5 diode). Easy to install, really bright & white too.

Last bulb to change is the High Beam lamp - HB3 or 9005. Plan to get the Osram Cool Blue Hyper + too.

anything above 4500k is not road legal... however.... jpj focus mainly on HID lightings rather than halogen bulbs... just the concern of projector headlamp sometimes they cant differentiate between HID and halogen... simply stop you down first only talk more sweat.gif sweat.gif

Thanks for the advise. Never have thought of that.
But like I said, the Osram bulb wasn't totally white. Hope it's not that bad in rain.  icon_question.gif

actually 5000k not reli recommended for stormy condition cause the yellow was too minimal already... as in nt full white.... the white will reflect on the rain more than on the road... thats why most of the light bulb sellers always recommend us.... 5000k for low light... less than 3500k for fog light... just in case stormy condition usage....

Wow thanks to your replies ... Really helpful ... That day went for test drive , they got no car at the moment said waiting for the 2016 model to come ... Later I'll go again ...
Yes they said there's no changes ...
Mazda 3 website really confusing ... First is the wrong depiction of the climate control knob... I tot it would be nice to have the digital temp reading type like other countries ... Another is the colour, website showed colour available is soul red and titanium flash mica which in fact it doesn't have that colour ...

Another thing is .... How's the maintenance of the car ? Some ppl say the spare parts is more expensive than others ...

Im actually contemplating between HRV and M3... The former got waiting list 3 months , the latter can get in few weeks time ...

hrv is a family oriented car and mazda 3 is not... interior mazda 3 definitely have one of the best interior... just the concern of the rear back seats.... handling and driving of course also mazda 3 better.... thats why its all down to your needs... spare parts depends on which part you need to replace not everything more expensive... the common parts wont have huge difference between mazda and honda also....
