Thank you guys SO MUCH for the support on this video. Really encouraging and I appreciate every one of you for watching! The next video is underway already, just waiting on parts! Much love
@@MrBeeasy25 All of the dash lights connect into a single harness that runs behind the dash itself. The wire you're thinking of comes up to the right of the gauge cluster; when you pop out that piece of trim you'll see where I mean.
Its nice to see companies are being smart about this and giving people a diy oem replacement option where the oem didn't give the customer the option. Things like ambient lighting should be standard on most cars now days. This is exactly what Mazda should have done from the factory
even if i didnt have a mazda 3 coming in 2 months from now, i know that id enjoy watching this video LMAO you are comedy also thanks for going into detail at the parts you think were necessary it really helps
3:50 I really appreciate seeing how to pull the dash out. I bought my car used and some of the chrome pieces are scratched up. Maybe this could help me actually replace those parts. I've never actually seen how to do it before so that was helpful!
My pleasure to help! The instructions MikStore send with the kit don't actually explain how to remove any of the panels, they just show where to put the lights thus why I wanted this video to be so detailed.
@@outrunyt Makes sense. I remember taking a look at that just because I'm interested in doing some ambient lighting on the dash too. This will also make that easier :)
Awesome vid! This was very well done! My first 2 mods for my turbo 3 are the Corksport SRI and heatshield. I just love the way it sounds. Hopefully you will be uploading more videos soon because I enjoyed watching this one!
It depends on what you want. I wanted a little more noise without my 3 sounding too crazy from the start with a cat back exhaust (Although I plan on getting that too anyways in a few months). You can hear the turbo much better and makes driving the hatch much more fun imo. But I would highly recommend getting the heatshield with it. I spent $399 all together for SRI/shield and that's after taxes/shipping. Many say their fastest times have been with the SRI + heatshield installed to go with the other mods out there like JB4/cat back exhaust. These times range from 4.8sec-5.2sec 0-60s. Without the heatshield...maybe you would experience a slight loss in performance and see slower times but not sure so I got it just to be on the safe side. Of course you also need a JB4 and exhaust for those times just to clarify. Basically if you want the car to feel more alive from a performance standpoint, go for it. Reliability seems to be pretty good overall, I've only seen positives of having all 4 of these mods from almost everyone who has all 4 which is about 20 different people. The only negatives come from spectators who ironically still are stock and read one bad review from someone who didnt install correctly lol. Instructions for installation are like pre school level, super easy. It's up to you!!! ✌️
@@outrunyt I got the corksport SRI too, i honestly think it's worth it. The sound it makes when you let off boost is phenomenal and it definitely turns heads.
My pleasure! It’s honestly not a bad install just take your time and if you have any questions when doing it just hmu on instagram! Always happy to answer questions
Holes go right where it gets flat before the space for your hand on both sides. Don’t be afraid to do it yourself - I’m always on instagram too if you have any questions during the install!
lemme give you a heads up, whenever you go to get a cold air intake. DO NOT GET any intake that isnt the aFe takeda intake. all the other ones decrease performance and are purely for sound. the oem intake is actually excellent. unfortunately rn aFe is sold out on new intakes and is backordered till december, i recommend getting a high flow filter in the mean time. im waiting on some eibach springs to come in to install. im prepping to put in a supercharger in my gen 4 :)
@@outrunyt corksport intake is bad. it has zero heat shield protection and makes your car slower lol. take a look at the mazda3 reddit and you’ll find a ton of information about mods and what not. the only items i plan on getting from corksport is their big brake kit, rear windshield wiper delete, and their midpipe. i went with a borla axleback instead because i think it sounds better, and i got it for a great deal. borla is coming out with an axleback for the turbo models soon if you’re interested.
@@nickvencill7752 best information i can tell you to search up is why short ram intakes are bad. it’s completely exposed and RIGHT next to the engine, it’s taking in pretty much exclusively warm air and suffers from a ton of heat soak. if you want a bolt on intake DO NOT get CS. the CS intake would be good if you had a fully mounted & covered heat shield that has a tube that funnels to the bottom of the engine bay similar to the way the OEM and aFe intake does
I've installed a similar set and what really annoys me, is that the LED are too bright, even at minimum brightness. I had fiber optic before, they were better in this brighness adjustment. They also bent better, which was useful in the central tunnel.
Hello friend, I am writing to you from Spain, could you tell me from which pins you get the current for the modules? I am doing this project in a more homemade way and I don't have the kit of cables already prepared, if you could tell me which pins the cables come out of to power the modules it would be of great help. By the way I love your content and sorry for my level of English
Very very similar to the doors. They send you a fuse tap and it goes straight to one of the led control boxes. From there it’s an included wiring harness that plugs straight into the led strips
Looks awsome ❤ i have a Mazda 3 2023 with the standart ambient lights in the footrest ....i was looking for something like that but i dont know if it is legal in germany to do something like that 😅 but i defenetly keep this in mind Great video and keep it up 👍
nothing wrong with Tron vibes. was hoping EL wire would take off in the automotive world sooner w/OEMs. Lux brands (MB, BMW, Audi, etc.) seem to be running with the idea, but lesser, mainstream brands are not. It doesn't have to be a spaceship (see MB), but a strips here and there or lighted door handle pockets is all it takes to "wow" ppl. We don't even need 1M colors; just the ability to choose btwn 4-5 colors is perfect.
Do you know how to remove the plastic part of the trunk door? I am gonna fix a dent in my trunk door, but I don't know how iw how I can remove the plastic part.
The end of the strip with the wiring is on the left of the dash piece and it goes down a rather large opening to the right of the gauge cluster, mirror that for the smaller dash panel on the left!
Hello, this video has been extremely helpful in installing my mikstore ambient lighting kit! One thing I'm turned around on is understanding the right way to power the main controller down by the cabin fuse box. Is there any way you could provide some insight on this for me? Thanks!
I tried adding led strip, but too afraid to take the door off, additionally, I see that you have the control box for each door installed seperately. I have a single one, but that has 5 led strips sticking out. So I just pulled one strip in the center console, and hid it in the glove box (that's under elbow). But damn having it on the door panels.
Great video! I'll most likey get these in the future. Do the LED automatically turn on and off everytime you start/stop the car or is done via the app?
Appreciate it! The lights need the app to dictate when to turn on unless you install the included button that fits into one of the blanks to the left of the steering wheel. I couldn't figure our how to take the button assembly off but that is another option for toggling them on and off.
Great video. Just purchased and had someone install the kit. It looks great but my installer had trouble figuring out how to change the lighting. Any thoughts or feedback you can provide would be appreciated.
Appreciate that! The app is called “LED Lamp” and the program inside it is called “LED Car,” as long as you have that installed with Bluetooth on it should find the module and allow you to make changes
Can you tell it’s there when off? Any problems with it so far? Thinking about this for my 21 Mazda 3 N/A premium sedan. Let us know what other parts you recommend!
No problems as of yet! Also very hard to notice it when it’s off especially the doors since it replaces the factory trim. I’m going to be doing something on exterior mods next and showing you guys how to do some of that!
Almost definitely not, unless you have a really cool dealer. I never had an issue with warranty on mine with them installed either so you should be fine
How are the ambient lights turned on and controlled? Do they turn on and off automatically with the car’s stock lighting system (when the operating lights/ headlights turn on)? Looks great!
There’s a QR code on the main lighting control box that actually links to an app! Just make sure bluetooth is on and you use your phone to control all the effects and colors.
@@mezzb That would be incredible, alas it does not. The kit actually does come with a button you can place on a blank switch that can toggle it on and off without the app but I couldn't figure out how to take the switches apart lmao
@@outrunyt I recently installed this in my Mazda 3 Turbo, and I realized the the switch is actually just a capacitive button that you adhere to some interior trim, and it just turns that trim piece into a capacitive touch button. How did you get the app for controlling the lights? There wasn't any QR code on any of my control modules. Thanks!
There’s a little channel on the drivers side of the Mazda3 lower console that u can snake the harness through and plug it into the main box. When u pop it up and poke around you’ll find it pretty quick
Can you share de code of OEM floor lines? I got the rubber ones but the margins are not that high as yours. Thanks Any new noises, cracks etc after putting all togheter?
Absolutely, here you are: BEPN-V0-350A The car also has no new noises, creaks, cracks or otherwise. Not a single clip was broken throughout the entire process so everything is just how it was!
@@outrunyt thanks for product part number. I've asked about the cracks, noises etc because Mazda 3 BP is know for various noises that appear from gloves compartment, chair, infotaiment or laser projection area.
Electrical on the front uses an included fuse adapter that replaces one of the taillight fuses! The sides have their own harnesses that include a little box to interface with the stock harness
Just wondering is there any drilling of the cars panels while installing this? I have a brand new 2022 mazda 3 turbo premium plus and i really dont wanna drill into it but the lights are dope af
Hi Outrun! Great video. Based on this experience, how easy would it be to take off the black leather trim from the dash and upper door trim to replace it with the red leather variant? Is it connected with screws or does it held in by tabs? It did not seem that was part of your process or process in the background for detecting that, but I'm hopeful hopeful that maybe you took notice. Thanks!
Thanks man! In regards to your question - I’d have to recheck the footage but there didn’t look like an easy way to pull off the leather piece but I could be wrong. The center dash trim would be super easy though and you can just buy the red piece from Mazda, not sure about the doors.
I recommend it! The wires are all run to the center control box, it’s one of three in the kit. There’s tons of little gaps and holes for them to sneak through to get there
In my experience, make sure the ground is really solid otherwise it may not work. The app should search and recognize the device but it’s called “LED Lamp” and it’ll default the “LED CAR” program
@@outrunyt I just installed my kit last night and spent hours trying to figure out what fuse to use. I ended up tapping into the same fuse but I wish I saw this comment earlier :(. There are 2 taillight fuses, which one did you use? My LEDs still work when the car is off, and runs off the battery. I can only turn it off via the app, but I'm worried about a parasitic drain.
@@ronl471 I ran mine from the drivers side lights, lights still worked with the car off just remember to switch it off when you're done! Never experienced any drainage issues myself

I did a much more simpler led light mod which just required shimming the optical light cable between the leather, much easier to set up.
Great video. Just got my turbo 3 HB. Don’t drive at night much so probably won’t do this mod. How about a side skirt how to? Or exhaust walkthrough?

My orders typically ranged from 3-6 weeks depending on how big it was. The smaller stuff always showed up pretty quick
did you test them out before installation?
Of course, had the whole system out and plugged it in to make sure they turned on properly
Don’t even have a Mazda 3 I have a type r and I’m jealous of this interior 😢
Looks great
Do you know how to take off the rear upper speaker cover for hatch
That should be held in by clips but there may be some screws on the back so if it isn’t coming off easy take off the door card

The only ones that required drilling were the door handle lights and door storage pin lights. Everything else can be done without!
Quality content
Did you buy the kit with the replacement trim or without it?
With, it makes the whole thing appear OEM
How’d the integrity of the dash feel after you put it back together? Still nice and firm?
Feels just as good as when I bought it, much better then my 80’s and 90’s Mazdas haha

Would the lighting kit, front lip, mirror covers, or exclaustración safe to factory warranty ?
Nope! You should be all set
My guyyy, i cant seem to turn the ambient light on using the app
In my experience, make sure the ground is really solid otherwise it may not work. The app should search and recognize the device but it’s called “LED Lamp” and it’ll default the “LED CAR” program
i wouldve love this for my cx30
They actually make the same kit for the CX-30 as well
may I ask where did you wire the whole thing to get the power?
A fuse tap off one of the taillights in the drivers footwell
@@outrunyt I just installed my kit last night and spent hours trying to figure out what fuse to use. I ended up tapping into the same fuse but I wish I saw this comment earlier :(. There are 2 taillight fuses, which one did you use? My LEDs still work when the car is off, and runs off the battery. I can only turn it off via the app, but I'm worried about a parasitic drain.
@@ronl471 I ran mine from the drivers side lights, lights still worked with the car off just remember to switch it off when you're done! Never experienced any drainage issues myself
I have a Mazda 6 sport, is there anything similar to this available for my car?
Yes there is! Just select your car and let them know you came from my video:
