Upgrading to LED is one of the most effective ways to modernize your Mazda's appearance and safety profile. Since your 626 uses a single 9003 LED bulb for both high and low beams, ensure your chosen LED kit is "dual-beam" compatible.

Don't forget the LED Fog Light fog lights; switching these to LED can dramatically improve your visibility in adverse weather.
