These projectors use a flap to switch from high to low beam so the cutoff is pretty abrupt. That said, the factory aims them way to low. I brought mine up a little and it makes a huge difference and does not blind other drivers if you get them at the perfect level. It's very easy to adjust them since they have an, easy to get to, adjustment screw.

Just did this myself with a set of Infinitys. I liked how the Infinity tweeter is on a swivel base and can be aimed. The sound difference is night and day!!

Just got the new 31mm SMD 50/50's today and gave them a quick test in a dark room. I compared them to the stock incan and the 1st festoons I ordered. They are a ton brighter then the 1st ones I ordered and are also much brighter then the stock incans by a good margin. Now I just gotta get the lamps sealed up and throw them in the mirrors.

Just been living with it for now. When I get a chance, I'm gonna switch the passenger wiper arm with one from a 2010 that I have. I'm pretty sure it's the funky angle of the arm right next to the blade that is making noise.

OK, OK, they are awesome!!!!

I always like to use Raybestos Blues or Wagner Thermo-quiets. They are both very good over-the-counter pads and don't dust. Not sure what rotors to use on the heavy Edge. Back when I had a Taurus, cheap rotors with really good pads were the ticket but the Edge is a different animal plus the pre 2011 brakes are horrible.

Nice, a $40,000 dollar vehicle with plastic hubcaps!!!!!

Yes, you are pretty much stuck for now. You can get better sound out of the stock head unit with a few upgrades. Just ditching the stock speakers will yield a huge improvement. Ford's new plastic speakers are, by far, the worst I've ever seen!!! Even cheap Boss or Audiovox speakers would be a huge step up!!!

If the Edge came in a 4x4 version, this site would be lit-up and there would be tons of aftermarket stuff available. I think most Edge owners are those that know how to fill a vehicle with gas and turn an ignition key.

They sell pet cargo liners at most pet stores. I picked one up at Meijer for around $20.00 and it fits pretty good. I don't even own a dog but ya never know what's gonna end up in the back of my Edge.

Got the 31mm 6 led festoons today and they fit perfect but not as bright as I wanted. Just ordered some 4 led smd 5050 31mm festoons. Not sure what smd 5050 means but I know the 5050's I put in my map lights are really bright. Let the waiting begin!!!!

Not to long ago I did some online research to find out what the best product is to protect seats and carpet. 303 fabric guard seemed to get the best reviews for many reasons. I have not gotten around to spraying my 11 yet but it's on the list. I've been very happy using 303 protectant for over 12 years for interiors and tires so I'm gonna give their Fabric Guard a shot.

My 2010 did that but my 2011 does not. After cresting a hill at around 70 mph with the cruise control on it would take waaay to long to upshift. Drove me crazy!

Buddy of mine was cool enough to grab me a set of puddle lamps from his work and even took the time to separate the lenses. Now I don't have to worry about screwing my originals up! After reading all the threads on this subject, I ordered a few off ebay that are 31mm. I'm sure it's gonna be a while before I get them but I'll be sure to post the results.

I'm really happy with the cheapos I got on ebay. I installed these in the map and license plate locations and they are very bright. They do ship on the "Slow Boat" http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-194-168-501-T10-5-SMD-White-5050-LED-Car-Light-Bulb-/140522678643?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b7cde973

I just switched from a 2010 to a 2011. The 2011 has a ruber weather strip that runs across the entire front lip of the hood and seals it up really tight. I have to assume that Ford knows about this problem on 2010's and earlier Edge's. If ya live in a salt belt, I would definitely shoot some rustproofing spray through the holes under the front section of the hood. Another option would be to look at a 2011 to get an idea of how to install some weather strip yourself.

Can't thank you guys enough for your help!!!! I'm gonna go ahead and give the Duragloss products a shot. Everything I've read online tells me that the Zaino and Duragloss products are very similar. I just ran out of my Zaino supplys and was a little shocked when I looked at the price tag for Zaino's AIO. If the durability of Duragloss is the same as Zaino I'll be a happy camper with a few extra bucks in my pocket. Sounds like 105, 601 and a bottle of Aquawax is a solid combination. I do have one last question: The Z2 does not contain any abrasives but the AIO does. Which Duragloss product contains some abrasives, the 101, 111 or 105? I just don't know which one would be best for my needs. My Edge is a daily driver so I'm thinking a little cleaning power will keep her looking a little better through the Michigan seasons.

Canuck, will using any of these quick detail or spray wax products effect the bonding ability of a future coat of Zaino Z2. Lets say I started using a carnuba spray wax between washes. Would I then need to make sure to strip all the carnuba off my Edge before applying a coat of Z2? I'm not trying to get the ultimate shine, I just want to make sure I'm using the right product between my spring and fall Zainoings.

Not really a fix but I would try running your cellphones directly to the auxillary port. I connect my phone directly to the auxillary port in my 2011 and everyone I've asked on the other end says it sounds perfect. I would guess that most higher end cellphones have superior mics to anything that Ford installs. I know it's an extra step and you have to switch the stereo to AUX but I find it a much better option then lots of noise. It even sounds great doing 80 mph down the highway.

Been using Zaino for years but I'm just now learning about waterless wash and quick detail sprays. I've tried Griots waterless wash and Meguires Final Inspection. I like the Griots but did not care for the FI. My question: What is a good quick detail spray, available locally, to use between my 3 to 4 "Zainoings" each year? Will using a certain type of detail spray effect the bonding ability of the next coat of Zaino? Is there a spray wax I can use that won't effect my next coat of Zaino? What about Griots Speed Shine? Also, I've been thinking about trying Duragloss 105 instead of Zaino Z2.

I agree but have been a Hack for the last 30 years!

I noticed the same thing on my 2011. A clay bar with some lube will do the trick.

If ya make a small sub box with a single 8 or 10, it's very easy to remove when you need the extra room. I've been doing this with a single 10 box that I built back in 2003 for a new F150. The box I built is down firing with 2 inch legs so the sub is well protected. I'm a little picky so I always change the carpet covering to match whatever vehicle it's going in.

I just did the fronts a few days ago with a set of 6 1/2 inch Infinitys and the difference is incredible compared to the stock featherweights. I like the specs on the Polks and would guess they sound pretty good with the stock head unit. My next addition is gonna be a boxed single 10 that has been following me from vehicle to vehicle for a long time. Got a ton of old high-end amps laying around so all I need to purchase is a MTX REQ. I've always just run mids and tweets for the front stage along with a sub. Never liked the added sound that comes from a set of rear door speakers so I'll just disconnect them.
