Nic figured out the reason the EDGE-2s were acting strange. He is running switchback LED bulbs and when he replaced them with the OEM bulbs, the DRLs worked perfectly. -
I'm investigating a way to adapt the wiring of the new LED taillights (2011-2014) to the 08-10 Edge. If I send you an LED tail, would you be willing to help me with coming with the wiring configuration? The amber turn signal portion of the tail would no longer function. The turn signal function would use the brake light LEDs. I'm going to shoot you a PM as well.

Hey Tom, Out of the 250+ EDGE-2 DRL kits I have sold, we have had 9 come back with moisture failures. To some that may not seem like very many, but one is too many for me. Tom, I will be happy to exchange your uninstalled kit for another one with the waterproofing measures applied. Just shoot me an email. (info@daytimebrightlites.com) C, your take is right on the money. I hate answering the brightness comparison question, because there really isn't a short answer. The beam spread really is the key. The v1 beamspread is highly focused directly in front of the car, but the light level falls off dramatically as the viewing angle increeases. I estimate the beam angle on the v1s to be at about 45 degrees, while the v2s are close to 120 degrees. I appreciate the kind words about our service. I want everyone to have an enjoyable buying experience with us and with our products, even when a problem comes up.

Yep, the tails are available to order now by sending me an email at info@daytimebrightlites.com. As for the observations about the black cat and running over the corners of my neighbor's yard in my video, I never noticed the black cat was even in it. Very funny. Now to Is's comment about the the neighbor's yard. As with my golf game, I tend to use the entire course. However, if you pay close attention to the video, I am hitting the apex in the turn perfectly!

H.I.D upgrade.

9012 is the exact bulb type, but 9006 is the next best alternative and finally the 9005. -
Installed NEW DRLS but........
kc300c replied to DBEDGE23's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Hey DB, Glad your back up and running. Made plenty of rookie mistakes in my time. The key is to learn from them so they don't turn into veteran mistakes. I make plenty of those as well ;-). -
welcome and enjoy

welcome to the family

I never used it on a car, but I used a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar to remove the hard water spots on the black gel coat on the hull of my boat. works like a charm.

Here's the video of my install. I didn't want to use the pins either. I never had any luck with them staying in. I didn't solder the connections like you did, but I used snap on quick tap connectors.

thank you for the nice write-up on my new LED tail lights Taz. I'm so glad you like them. I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. they really exceeded my expectations.

quote name="Nicoleto" post="103232" timestamp="1380223502"] Which ones are brighter v1 or v2 DRLs? Thanks the new version is as bright as the original version.the new ones also have a significantly wider viewing angle or beam spread. The original versions only had about a 45 degree viewing angle. The new version has close to 160 degrees.

we are confident we have solved the moisture issue. We believe a bad plug connection in the back of the DRL was the cause. We have made some changes to the plug and are doing inspections on all DRL kits before they ship. We have also begun water testing by submersion and water spray. As any one of the customers who had these problems can attest to, we back our products 100 percent and replaced all of the problem kits quickly.

HID beam pattern
kc300c replied to Gabe McClintock's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
You have a shadow on each beam pattern that's caused by the return wire which runs up the side of the bulb. You can see just under the 3 o'clock position. What bulb type did you buy? 9006 or 9012? It may be difficult, but try rotating the bulb so the shadows disappear. -
Had some time and was surfing the forum. Saw your posts about the moisture in your EDGE-2s. I have had a few customers reporting moisture issues. My manufufacturer and I are troubleshooting it to find the root cause. We are both leaning toward the wire harness plug that is supplied with the kit. If you are having a moisture issue, please let me know. You can be sure that I will take care of you and will get you replacement kits right away. Feel freee to contact me at info@daytimebrightlites.com if you have any questions. Thanks, Dan Smith

Damon and I spoke this morning. He's going to try using fuse slot 92 or 93. Scratching my head about the blinking issue he's seeing though.

I joined the "Curb Rash" club the same way trying to get close to a ticket booth. However, my rash was much deeper and ran about 1/3 of the way around the wheel. I just had the four Perellis replaced and while the tire was off the rim, sanded and polished as much of the gouges out. The chrome finish layer was actually thicker than I thought it would be and was able to take off most of the finer scratches. My rash was so bad though that the wheel still looked horrible when I reached the limit of the chrome layer. So, knowing I was going to have to replace the wheel, I went ahead and kept sanding until I reached bare aluminum. The rim is now smooth, but there is a noticeable difference in the appearance between the chrome and bare aluminum. I have some ideas on how to reduce the contrast, but I will try them first before posting the one that worked best.

Couple of tips if you want to try sanding down the rash. 1) mask off the undamaged areas. All of the way up to the scratch. (including the tire) - use electrical tape instead of standard masking or blue painters tape. Electrical tape won't pull up when wet sanding. 2) Start with a 600 grit wet sandpaper and work your way up to 2000 grit. Keep it wet. 3) alternate sanding directions 90 degrees when changing grits. 4) Take your time. Be sure to regularly wipe off and check to make sure you do not go sand through the chrome finish. (Wet the area when inspecting. You will be sanding off the clearoat finish that leaves a milky finish when dry. Water will clear it up so you can inspect the chrome.) 5) After the 2000 grit sanding, rinse and lightly apply rubbing compound with a sponge applicator attached to an electric drill. I used the sponge applicator from a 3M headlight restoration kit I had laying around. 6) wash off the wheel and tire with soap and water (keep the electrical tape on). 7) rub in a thin coat of car wax, let dry. 8) using a powered buffer pad, thoroughly polish the area. 9) remove the electrical tape. 10) repeat the wax and buffing step on the entire wheel. Just take your time and keep an eye on the chrome thickness.
