I did try this today. I had a real hard time getting that fuse cable into the F18 spot because the big fuse for the power steering system is next to it. The lights also were on when the car was on and when headlights were off they were still on for me which was not what I wanted as an end result. I was hoping these would come on at night when my auto headlights and other amber lights come on. I appreciate the video even though these didn't work out for me!
@@Trapan93 hmmm that is odd… these should only be on when the vehicle is on! I haven’t figured out how to get them to turn on only at night… however, it could be different for you if you have a 2024 or newer! Mine is a ‘23 model! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@OverlandMazda mine is a 23 but I have my settings in the car to turn off my headlights when it's daytime outside. I don't have or want any daytime running lights on. When it gets dark, my headlights turn on along with all the amber lights which is what I was hoping these would mimic. Since I have the grey color and a blacked out front grill I was looking for a more "stealth" look during the day where no lights are on if that makes sense lol but it's all good!
@@Trapan9318 fuse powers all the stuff inside the car. Acc, cig lighter etc. The wiring in these cars kinda sucks and makes it hard to add stuff. I want to add a secondary fuse block from the battery. Figuring that out now. I cant get the add a fuse to fit correctly either with the P/S relay next to it. Damn. You can install add a fuse incorrectly, they are designed to go 1 way if you do it backwards you can fry circuits from too much load.
@@OverlandMazdaThey ARE on when the vehicle is on. But I share the other commenter’s frustration with the fact that you can’t seem to tie them into any of the headlamp fuses (F20,21,24,25) or else they’ll be constantly on. You’d think that tapping into THOSE fuses would allow the Raptor lights to follow the headlamps, but they don’t. F18 seems to be the best option, but then the Raptor lights are tied to accessory power instead of headlamp power.
@@gabriell-cunningham6908 it’s made by “Broad Feet”! If I were you, I’d consider the one made by LP Adventure though. Owned this one for 3 months and it has already begun rusting. I’d definitely skip out on this one…
I know you said in the video it’s easier removing the bumper to run the cables but you don’t really show it. I tried removing the bolts and clips on top but it felt like it was still attached underneath somewhere. Any advice here?
@@buzzedlitebeer6985 Yeah unfortunately I wasn’t able to show it in the video… the best way I was able to do it was pulling the bumper up from those clips. It is a little tight, but it can be done.
@@OverlandMazda ah I gotcha. Yeah I noticed there was at least enough flex and room to get my hand in there. Great looking ride btw. I’m probably getting the HRG lift and the same bull bar on mine
@@badboy4lyfe00 there are a series of screws and clips holding it in… you’ll need a fastener remover to get those clips out. Not necessarily the easiest task, but if you take your time they’ll come out just fine! A flat head screw driver would work just fine, too…
Thinking upgrading to cx50 select or preferred ,I have cx5 need more room for the baby. How are the cx50s are they reliable ,any problems, I drive 80 miles everyday . Thanks.
@@OceanWave-k4g in my experience, it’s been very reliable! I just passed 30,000 miles with mine with no issue… it’s been a very enjoyable car and comfortable for all of my needs!
I would test drive one and see for yourself. The 2nd row headroom, legroom, and cargo dimensions for the CX-50 are surprisingly lower than the cx-5. But personally having driven one, I didn't see a major difference.
Hey man appreciate the tutorial and used this to supplement my install with a version of the raptor lights that do fit our grille. I’m curious if you have any challenges getting at add a fuse plugged into the f18 fuse slot? That larger relay that’s right next to it seems to cause it to bend and pop out so on my end. Curious if you had any issues with it doing the same?
I had the same issue. Instead, I tried using F16 (also for protection of various circuits) but the lights stay on all the time, even when I lock the car. Were you able to solve it?
@@gv6652 Not yet, but an engineer from the brand contacted me offering help, I already sent him an email and am waiting for a reply, I’ll keep you posted 🤙🏼
@@santiagomejia7292 sounds good, thanks man. The lights that I bought from amazon came with 3 add a fuse cables. One low profile fuse, which is what my Mazda has and what I tried for fuse 18 but kept disconnecting. It also came with a mini fuse which is the same width as the low profile but longer/taller, and a bigger fuse. I connected the mini fuse cable to fuse 18 this morning and it seems to stay in place. I’m not sure if this is something you’ve already tried. I will buy a fuse to add to that cable and test it out. I’ll keep you posted
@@santiagomejia7292 I confirm that the mini fuse add on cable works with fuse 18. The lights are on when the ignition is on and off when ignition is off
I have a 24 and I installed the lights, looks great! But when I start the car it shows push to start button malfunction, any idea why is that? ( I double checked all the fuses)
Did you really pay 700 for the Yakima fishing pole box for your 50? Yikes. I bought a fishing rod carrier roof rack for 70 dollars from rhino rack for my CX5.
Guess it depends on how expensive your rods and reels are and how much you care to protect them… this has been great for long road trips for me! (No I didn’t pay $700 for it though… got it second hand on Facebook)

In case anyone is trying to install these on the new CX-50 Hybrid 2025, the fuse I found that worked is F28 (For protection of various circuits).
Hey man. I'm interested in everything you've done to your CX50. You should do a video and talk about everything you've done so far.
I’ll look into that in the future!
Any idea how to add an after market 360 camera?

T30
Why dont you make more?
@@snowball7990 working on something here soon! Make sure to follow on Instagram @OverlandMazda for everything new:)
Is it possible to have these lights ON during the day (like DRL), even having the original DRL deactivated??
@@Kokshi801 from what I’ve tested and heard from others, it is not possible. I believe the F18 slot is the best option to plug into!
