I do have a way for you to install the Alpena LED Fog Litz 4 part # ALP77160 on your 2010 Mazda CX-7 but unfortunately I cannot recommend you use them inline with your low-beam headlights as you would likely exceed the maximum amp draw allowed for that circuit.
In order to install the fog lights on your CX-7, I recommend using them with a toggle switch such as the LED Micro Bug Push Button Toggle Switch part # PL-SW28B. In order to install the fog lights with a toggle switch you will need... view full answer...
The issue that you are going to run into if you use Roadmaster Dual Hitch Extender # RM-077-2 is the tongue weight capacity will be reduced 50 percent. However, if you use a ball mount like # D210 you will get a 6 inch rise and 7-1/2 inch extension from the hitch pin hole to the center of receiver's hitch pin hole.
Best of all with the D210 the capacity is not reduced. I have included a video review of this ball mount for you to check out. view full answer...
Let's start with a hitch, there are Class III hitches available for your 2008 CX-7 that would be excellent for using to carry a bike rack. For that I would recommend the Draw-Tite # 75512. Install video attached.
With that hitch installed you could use the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack part # TH69TX. This has everything you need to use as a 2-bike or a 4-bike rack. Or you could use the Kuat NV part # NV22G with the extension part # NA22G. view full answer...
I contacted CURT about the clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the rear bumper with the CURT hitch # 12093 on a 2011 Mazda CX-7. CURT was unable to provide this measurement.
However, we have installed another model hitch on a 2010 Mazda CX-7. The CURT hitch should mount approximately the same location as the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36419. The measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the rear bumper is 9 inches on the # 36419 hitch.... view full answer...
According to one of our friends at Curt although your CX-7 has the port on the passenger side, using part # C55593 would not provide all the lighting necessary for your trailer. Not all of the wiring connections were made.
For your CX-7, part # 118405 would be the correct wiring harness to use. The T-1 would connect inline with the existing wiring behind each tail light assembly. A wire also needs to be ran under the vehicle to the engine compartment ultimately connecting to the positive... view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with Aero Crossbars can certainly stay installed on your 2011 Mazda CX-7 as a permanent installation. You need parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK289.
I have attached review videos of both the 2500 Series rack system and the custom fit kit for you to see how the different components are put together and install. The rack also includes written instructions with diagrams to help you install the rack on your CX-7. The video for the fit kit shows a... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt trailer wiring harness # C55593 is a confirmed fit a 2008 Mazda CX-7 that came with a factory installed towing package. If you are not sure if your CX-7 has a factory tow package, then have a dealer run the vehicle VIN and they should be able to tell you how it is equipped.
The Curt harness is actually rated for a little more power draw at 6 amps for running lights and 3 amps for brake/turn signals per side. The Tow Ready harness is rated for 5 amps and 2.1 amps, respectively.

The Curt Wiring Harness part # C55593 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Mazda CX-7.
This Curt harness has a modern style circuit board that has proven to be very reliable.
If you need a hitch I would recommend the Draw-Tite # 75512. view full answer...
If you already have the plug-in that is behind the passenger side trim panel then then the Curt # C55593 is the harness for your 2009 Mazda CX-7.
When it comes to choosing the correct Bearing Buddy you need to first measure the diameter of your hub bore. To ensure the best fit you need to use a digital caliper that reads to the 3rd decimal place (1.232 for example). One of the most common sizes is 1.980 for a hub bore. If you happen to have this size then you would want to go with part... view full answer...
The Thule Passage trunk mounted 2 bike rack you referenced, part # TH910XT is indeed a fit for your 2012 Mazda 3 Sport Sedan. I have confirmed this with Thule.
If you're planning on carrying women's bikes with a step-through frame or a bike with a sharply angled top tube like some hybrids, you might want to consider using a frame adapter like part # 64005. The adapter attaches between the seat post and the handlebar gooseneck and provides a level attachment for the bike rack. This way,... view full answer...
The crossbars on your 2011 Mazda CX7 are within the mounting range, 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or 29-7/8" apart on center, for the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018. But, there is another measurement that you will need to take to determine if this cargo box is a fit. Measure the width of the crossbars. If they are less than 4 inches wide the box will fit. view full answer...
I spoke to my contact at Rhino Rack and our best recommendation for a roof rack would be the 2500 Series Roof Rack System. By using this system, two of the three components would work on both the 2012 Chevrolet Traverse and the 2007 Mazda CX-7.
The 2012 Traverse will use Custom Clamps and Pads, # DK297, along with the Rhino Rack 54 Inch Long Crossbars, # RRVA137B-2 and Leg Kit, # RRRLKVA.
The 2007 CX-7 will use Custom Clamps and Pads, # DK289, which attach to factory mounting points... view full answer...
We have several Class III trailer hitches available for the 2010 Mazda CX-7. First is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75512. I have included a link to the instructions and a video for this hitch as well. For the most part, only the receiver shows. The other Class III Hitch, # 13593, will have a similar appearance after it is installed. Both of these hitches, when installed, are pretty well hidden as you can see in the videos. For the most part, only the receiver shows. view full answer...
The bottom support arm of the Thule OutWay Platform # TH65JV that you referenced sits on top of your 2010 Mazda CX-7 bumper as noted on the attached picture.
Also in the attached picture are all the measurements of the OutWay in relation to your vehicle. From the bottom of the arm that rests on your bumper to the bottom below where your wheel sit is 2.358 centimeters (6 inches).
Your bikes when loaded on the OutWay Platform rack will not have contact with your vehicle. view full answer...
There is no drilling required when installing the Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Trailer Hitch # 75512 on a 2009 Mazda CX-7. You will need to lower the exhaust in the rear by removing the exhaust from the rubber hangers, but it will be connected back to the hangers after the hitch is installed.
I am including links to the installation instructions of the Draw-Tite hitch and a video link that will show the hitch being installed on a 2007 Mazda CX-7.

The 20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 weighs about 57lbs when empty. This fits 2" receivers and has a weight capacity of 500lbs. If you are looking for a lightweight option then perhaps the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs # C18100 would suit your needs. This is aluminum and only weighs about 29 lbs but still has a 500lb weight capacity. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you. view full answer...
When the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 2-Bike Platform Rack, part # HR1450Z, is installed the bike wheel hoops are actually elevated. The bike rack has a 7-inch rise in the shank.
I have attached a link to the installation video for this bike rack on a 2011 CX-7 you can check out. You can see the hitch receiver is level with the exhaust on the vehicle. With a 7-inch rise in the shank you will have no problem with the exhaust heat. view full answer...
In order to determine if the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, # C18115, will fit your 2007 Mazda CX-7, you will need to measure the thickness of the crossbars. If they are less than 3 inches thick, the basket will fit, provided the crossbar spread, center to center, is at least 15 inches. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.
I did find that the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070, is a direct fit to the optional crossbars on a 2007 Mazda CX-7. I linked a video review... view full answer...
The Thule Apex, # TH9024XT, weighs approximately 35 pounds so it can easily be handled by an adult to install and removed from either a 1-1/4 or 2 inch trailer hitch. The arms can fold down and there is a built in handle in the back at the top to make carrying it around easier. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using... view full answer...
For your 2010 Mazda CX-7 I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 75512. This hitch offers a 2" x 2" receiver tube opening. Having the 2" x 2" receiver tube opening rather than the 1-1/4" allows you to use the hitch for a lot of different accessories. With the 1-1/4" you would be limited to certain hitch mounted accessories. It also has a pre-welded bracket so when you install your wiring if you wanted to route it outside the vehicle... view full answer...
