Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Mazda 3s Hatchback with LED Lights
Question:
I have a 2015 Mazda 3s hatch without LED lights and I would like to see a video of the Curt C11377 hitch installed on one so I get a feel for how to do it myself. Thanks.

We have yet to have someone come in with a 2015 Mazda 3s hatchback to have a trailer hitch installed so that is why you don't see a video for it. But I have linked the installation instructions for you which contains step by step instructions with pictures detailing the installation process.
If you plan on doing some towing with the hitch the correct ball mount to use is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring you will need # HM11141824.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements.
