Default HID swap
I took out my stock bulbs in my HID's which were 4K?.. anyways swapped for 8K. My question is, can I put my stock bulbs in my girls CX-7? does anyone know the intensity rating on the CX-7's bulbs?

i also changed from OEM HID's to 8000k bulbs. i keep them lowered to a 2 and they look really blue and raise them to a 0 when it gets dark & the visibility is fine unless it rains. then i just use the high beams.

& does your girl's cx-7 have the halogen projectors? you'll need a ballast to use your bulbs in the cx-7 but i do believe most (if not all) mazda oem HID bulbs are D2S.

this might help OEM Halogen vs HID projectors & projector modifications - Mazda CX-7 Forums

I've been told its an easy swap, and two, your hot, 3, visibility is slightly better, If your not looking for a more aggressive look and are just concerned about visibility, go with 6K, thats what im doing for my fogs.

Increased visibility by switching to 8k from OEM? I'm going to call BS on that.

Changing out the headlight bulbs ( on GT model ) REQUIRES you taking off your bumper. it's a really tight fit. you do you reside?

No i have guy that owns a motorcycle shop that also provides HIDs. I've bought so much from him he sells me it to me for 50. First time i've ever bought a replacement D2S from him, he charged me 80 something. He's a real cool guy, gives 2 year warranty on all his products NO MATTER WHAT. so even if it's my fault i mess up the lights, he'll replace them for free

You can find them online for about $25.00 a pair.
