V just returned my E-mail. They will no longer be selling these Type1 Switchbacks. These seem to be type 1's: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330861720875?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

Out of stock so I just sent them an e-mail to see if they will be restocking. Anyone know of another source for the Type 1's? V's type 1's are the only ones I know of that will work without resistors.

More sidewall on the 18's should give a smoother ride. A tires air pressure will also make a huge difference.

Just wanted to see how everyones Vled type 1 Switchys are holding out. Anyone have any problems with them yet? Looks like they are now $25.00 a set and I was thinking about ordering some.

Cd's are definitely on their way out. I still use them but burn them in MP3 format which pretty much puts all my music on one disc. If I had a USB port on my Edge, I would just listen to all my music from SD cards. I think most are listening to music from their cell phones these days with a Bluetooth or hardwired connection. I took a quick look at Crutchfield and really liked the look and specs of that double din Alpine with Bluetooth for around $200.00. Those double dins have really come down in price. I would consider burning all your regular Cds to a single Mp3 disc. Can't remember the exact number but I think a regular CD will hold about 10 hours of music in Mp3 format.

Lots of great aftermarket headunits out there that will do everything you need and more. Most will be way better then the factory radio. Good place to do a little research is crutchfield.com. I would not hesitate to go with a single din and dash kit. You will probably need an interface module to get your steering wheel controls to function.

Hids may not work well in the 2010 and below halogen reflectors. If you end up with a horrible beam pattern or ya keep getting flashed there are a few halogen bulb options that work awesome with the older Edges. In my opinion, my 2010 with upgraded halogen bulbs put out more and better light then my 2011 with HIDs.

Do a search for Hidgeek reviews. Sounds like a bad company with bad products and service. If ya can't get them to work properly, order a set from DDM or TRS.

Is this for a 2010- or 2011+? Would love to see how it looks when ya get her done!

Oil changes are really easy on our Edges. Takes me about 10 minutes and most of that time is spent waiting for the oil to drain. Nice thing is, I picked up 12 5qt jugs of Motorcraft 5W/20 when Advance was getting rid of them for $5.00 each!!!!

I have the cheap DDM 35/5000 kit but I think Morimoto is the smart purchase. If I had done better research before I ordered the DDM's I would have purchased the Morimoto 35/4300 kit with harness. Sounds like the Morimoto harness is really well made but I would still cut it to the proper length for the Edge.

I had to aim my headlights a little lower after installing a DDM 35/5000 kit in my 2011 SEL. It took me a while to get used to the type of light that HIDs project but now I really like it. We are very lucky that our halogen projectors work well with HID bulbs because not many do.

I went from a 2010 SEL to a 2011 SEL. The 10 had a much softer ride which I liked but the 11 just seems more solid and better built. Like others have said, the 11+ Edges handle road noise a ton better then the older versions. If I was in the market for a used Edge I would definitely be looking at the 11+ models but would settle for a super clean 10- if one presented itself.

Prinz, did you change the fluid and filter yourself? I have not done mine yet but I'm hoping it's the same as most I have done over the years. Drop and clean pan, install new filter, reinstall pan and add proper amount of fresh T-fluid. Is the T-pan gasket reusable?

I did the same thing Haz did with the front mud guards. Looks great and helps a little but I still get a ton of crap on the sides of my 2011. I think it's just the price you pay for the wide tires. Ya could get bigger flaps or adjust them to stick out more but then looks would suffer.

I also use Griots. Some Advance Auto stores are now stocking Griots products.

I live in a nasty salt belt so the first thing I do when I purchase a new vehicle is rustproof and undercoat it. I'm a do-it-yourselfer and use the 3M Professional products. I also touch-up the undercoating every fall.

Weather techs fit and look a lot nicer then the Husky liners I got but, for half the cost, the Huskys do a really good job. The Huskys are easier to pull out and dump without spilling anything. If your worried about looks, I would go for the Techs.

They look really nice and your Edge does too! Are the Sport rims chrome clad or the real deal?

Very easy is to adjust your headlights down. If you don't know much about cars, just take it to the dealer and they will aim them properly. With your projectors, the high beams do not get brighter they just allow the light to project higher.

I get great mpg with my 3.5 because I'm always paying attention and know how to do it. It's kind of a game to me. I have know doubt I could do way better driving the Ecoboost. I don't care what you drive, knowing how to increase mpg through driving habits will increase mpg more then anything else. The real-time mpg readout on our 2011+ Edges can really help drivers learn how to squeeze those extra miles out of each gallon of gas.

I also went from a 150 to the Edge. Only time I miss the 150 is right now during deer hunting season.

I also used Paypal but now I wished I used a Credit Card!!!!

Nice! Edge not built in America but at least you are now giving your hard earned dollars to an American company. I'm an old 47 and still believe it's our duty!!!

I might be interested Brandon. Shoot me a PM if ya don't hear from Simcole.
