LoL thanks Andy 😘
Great effect, pity Mazda does not do this as a standard fitment. Looks great 👍
Looks good and I think with the rear passenger wells done it will look great.

Nice job. Be sure and update when the rear lighting is completed.

will do, I actually fitted the rear lights today, but have to still edit the video and upload it - watch out for it in the next few days ;-)
Thanks!! for the wire connectors (last link) which version with how many pins did you buy?

I bought 10 pcs of 2 pin sockets. That's more than enough for the job. I used only five of the 10 sockets, but if you have more splits and connections in your wires, you may use more.
Do you have a link to the connectors and the metal wire as well :)

Checkout the description in the video - you will find links to the wire, connectors and LED's.
How about lighted CX-5 door silver protectors?
I want to do this to my wife’s cx5. The LEDs aren’t showing up on Ali express anymore. Do you have another link?

Hey there, yes, I just bought another set for my Jag a couple of days ago. Try this link, I'll update the link in the description of my video as well. www.aliexpress.com/item/33021689895.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.14804c4dXqwa9X
The link to the led strip lights no longer works, would you have any recommendations for the light strips?

Any led strip with a ground and live wire connected to it will do the trick. But nowadays there better lights out there with rgb. Just go to Aliexpress website or app and search rgb ambient lighting and you will find many.
Do you regret selling he XF, and do you get more or less hits with the mazda?

Honestly, I do regret selling the XF. The Mazda is nice but I don't get that feeling in my stomach when I walk to it like I did the Jag. The XF just has that extra specialness about it and one of these days I might go back to a newer version of it, not the latest one, but the facelift in XFRS guise perhaps. They are so scarce I have to wait patiently for an owner to sell theirs.
hello I'm looking for how to plug led foot light into a cx-5, but I want it to turn off when I close the doors like the domes light

Mazda sell a kit but it's a pain to fit. You might was we'll run a wire to your some light. You can use a test light to see which wire on the dome light plug is love when you open the door.

you need to use the F50 fuse in the engine compartment. You need to make your way thru the firewall unfortunately which could be a pain
Does this turn on even when you unlock the car?
@carfanfan

Yes indeed it does. But only if you have the headlights set to auto. Then everything in the car and outside the car lights up.
Personally I would've put in a switch to turn them off if I wanted to

I could have done that, but wanted a factory type look. So when the headlights turn on, all ambient lights turn on. I could have installed more ambient light, but got rid of it before I could do it.
No Jaguar anymore?

Hey John, I recently sold it to a new owner who is doting on it. I had it for five years and it was time to get something new 😉. I will most likely get a used F-Pace in a year or so, so the Mazda is my transient car for now.
