The first generation Mazda6 sold from 2003-2008 had two different fog light types.
From 2003-2005, the fog lights were inside the headlight assembly, right between the high and low beam. It takes an H3 bulb and is a projector. Made by AL.
From 2006-2008, the fog lights were mounted in the bumper at the corners, where most cars have their fog lights mounted of they have them. It takes an H11 and is a reflector. Made by Koito.
Both style headlight assemblies are physically interchangeable between 03-08, and the 06+ headlights (and the 03-05 models that didn't come with them from the factory) still have the slot in the middle for the H3 fog light, and I think all 6 models from this generation are pre-wired for them.
So my question is, are the 06+ H11 bumper-mounted fog lights better than the 03-05 H3 fogs built into the headlight assembly?
