Yes, the wiring harness # C59496 will work with the LED lights on your 2017 Mazda CX-5.

If you don't already have a trailer hitch receiver I suggest the Draw-Tite # 76138. It's a 2 inch, Class III hitch receiver which will give you more capacity and variety when it comes to towing or carrying accessories on the hitch.

To tow a trailer you'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached link of our selection of ball mounts for a 2 inch hitch receiver as well as an article to help you determine the correct rise or drop you may need. Once you choose a ball mount you can then choose a hitch ball to fit it.

One way to make choosing a ball mount easier is to go with an adjustable ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10038B. It features the ability to be flipped under the hitch when not using it and will provide up to 5-1/2 inches of rise or 5 inches of drop.

For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking pin you can use # BX8858.

I've also included links to some articles on towing that you might find helpful.
