I recently bought a mazda 3 S sport which came with halogen lighting, but i was wondering if it is possible for me to upgrade my car to the xenon hid lighting. is that possible to do? how much would it cost? would i need someone to install it for me? will it void my warranty with mazda?Can a mazda3 with halogen lighting be upgraded to the Xenon HID lighting in the S grand touring model?
If you mean FAKE HID (ie, blue painted halogens), you may do it provided you don't exceed with the blue (standard white is about 4,200K) and you keep the power at the standard value. That costs about twice the normal halogens but last about half the normal ones, a simple DIY job.
If you want REAL HID, it is quite expensive as the only LEGAL possibility is to replace the projectors (headlamp sets) with the OEM ones, install OEM bulbs and ballasts, modify harnesses, install auto-leveling and headlamp washers.
The intermediate route (aftermarket HIDs) costs less and leads to technical and legal problems.
I don't think you'd keep the warranty except if the OEM job was handled by a dealer, but then it would cost even more.
