I have placed a purchase for a 2024 CX-30. Nevertheless, I have been exposed to several adverse remarks about the LED headlights (as well as other LED lights installed on this car) and the associated costs of changing them. Consequently, I am contemplating the possibility of revoking my decision. Do you have any opinions or ideas? Thank you.

I own a 2022 model and have never had any problems with it. The headlights are excellent in my humble opinion.

Undoubtedly, my apprehension lies in the future when the warranty expires.

The majority of contemporary automobiles are equipped with LED lighting. The probability of Mazda having a significantly different failure rate compared to other car manufacturers is low, particularly when taking into account that several manufacturers rely on the same suppliers for sourcing their components.

There are no problems or concerns in this situation.

This is applicable to almost every recently released automobile available on the market.

The front turn signal light on the passenger side has become inoperative after 41,000 km. I want to inspect and remove the item by crawling below it, and then find a suitable replacement. The dealer provided a quotation of $250 for both the cost of the components and the cost of the labour. Previously, the cost of a bulb was about $3-4, but today the fixture itself is priced at over $190.

The only issue I have is that the primary LED projector headlights also function as the DRL (daylight running lights), which is why I have disabled the DRL in my settings. I really dislike it when manufacturers choose to implement Daytime Running Lights (DRL) in a manner that does not include distinct, dedicated LED DRLs. This is particularly true when the execution of such lights is not done well, as is often the case. I have a tendency to find vehicles with primary headlights functioning as Daytime Running Lights (DRL) uncomfortable to look at while they are approaching me, therefore it is likely that my negative opinion of them is influenced by this prejudice.

The non-motorized LED headlights provide excellent vision for drivers at night, surpassing the performance of my prior 2020 Toyota LED headlights. However, there have been reports of technical issues with the motorised version of the headlights in some Mazda trim levels that are more expensive.

The LED taillights on my 2022 non-turbo Carbon Edition are aesthetically appealing and easily distinguishable because to their horseshoe/omega-symbol shape. They provide excellent visibility both when the brakes are on and when they are not. It is worth noting that more expensive trims have LED taillights that extend onto the hatch, among other features. The front, rear, and side LED turn signals are quite conspicuous, which I like. Mazda has designed them to exhibit an attractive "heartbeat" pulse effect, rather than a plain and abrupt on/off/on/off pattern.

Many manufacturers have yet to adopt complete LED technology for headlights, taillights, reverse lights, and licence lights. Instead, they commonly choose for outdated halogen bulbs from the 1990s for turn signals and similar functions. Similarly, this applies to some headlights as well as brake and reverse lights. I am pleased that Mazda does not.

When it comes to replacing the lighting housing unit on a new or contemporary car, be prepared to spend a significant amount of money.

High-quality LED lights often have a longer lifespan than the vehicles they are installed in, with the exception of a few defective units, since it is impossible to achieve a 0% defect or issue rate.

You are only receiving feedback from those who either have or believe they have an issue. However, the majority of owners are content with their product and often overlook its correct functionality. An ex-service manager at an automobile dealership said that several issues arise as a result of alterations made to the vehicle's equipment, such as stereos, dash cameras, and so on. Due to my lack of knowledge in electrical systems, I shall defer to his expertise.
