Thats a genious idea with the aluminum foil! Ye old heat shield, awesome thanks for the suggestion. I have ordered L.E.D bulbs and resistors (for the turn signal wire) already though so I will explore that route. Depending on brightness of the bulbs I ordered I may go back to the standard halogens so I will keep the aluminum foil trick in mind

Sorry to beat this thread to death and no one is probably going to check into it now as it has been quite some time since anything was last posted. Surprise Surprise I have also been having this recurring issue on our 2007 Edge. I am due to replace the sockets now as they have been pretty badly melted. Anyways this is just a suggestion but could you do an L.E.D light bulb retrofit? They must make a L.E.D bulb for the 3157? or whatever style plug it is. Significantly less heat build up in an L.E.D bulb as opposed to normal halogen ones. I see the bulbs listed online for sale all over the place, I just don't know if they would work with the turn lamps or not....Anyone else savy on that end of it? I put L.E.D bulbs in place for my reverse lights and they work great, far brighter too. Not saying that this WILL work but just a suggestion to look into. Swapping out for a $15 bulb is loads cheaper than having to have your sockets replaced every so often by an expensive shop if you don't know how to do it yourself. I am going to try this route as soon as I replace my sockets here soon and I'll let you know how it goes.

Ha its called winter. All season tires are no substitution for winter tires.

For some extra peace of mind, the first thing that has a tendency to bend or distort are your rims. They would be the first part to go on a big impact like that, I strongly doubt you have caused any serious damage in any other components, frame especially. If you notice your steering wheel shuddering at high speeds from now on you probably have in fact bent a rim but thats the first part of the car that would take damage

I recently converted all the interior light in our 07 to LED's looks great and was very happy. Things were normal to start with, lights operated as normal. I noticed the other day though that as you are driving the interior lights stay on, very very dim, but they stay on. I checked the switch for the interior lights and that's not the issue. Here's the really bizarre part, if I take one of the LED map lightbulbs out and put back in one of the old ones, all the lights work as normal again it's only if ALL the interior lights are LED that they stay on dim....I am kind of baffled by this and wondering if anyone electrically inclined has an answer to my problem.

I'm not a sport model owner and don't have a real issue with our edge vibrating as you have described. I have had the exact same problem with a previous vehicle and it ended up being a bent rim. Which is not as hard to do as you may think, especially with the larger 22" rims the sport comes stock with. I'm not saying that this is the issue but having the vibration happen at only a high speed above a certain range was exactly what I had happen. It could be one more thing to check out, they should technically have caught it if they did try to balance the wheels but hey its worth a shot

yikes, that seems a touch extreme to me. I doubt very much is a valve issue, doesn't seem to be what would cause it to my line of reasoning. At any rate 2200 dollars is more than just a little ridiculous to see if that fixes the problem.

You can black out your Ford with the plasti dip too, here are some before and afters of what I did to our 07. (use your imagination for the blue logo) Its a bit time consuming to cut around the ford chrome lettering but worthwhile, it has held on very well and not peeled off yet in 2 months. I used a small exacto knife with a very sharp blade. If it doesnt suit your taste in the end, hey you can peel it off right.

There is a plastic ridge fin that runs lengthwise in the air filter box. Did you make sure that the fins on the filter are running the same way? Otherwise you will have one hell of a time fitting it in. Just turn the filter 90 degrees and that plastic fin will slide into one of the grooves on the filter to keep it from sliding around

That looks sweet in my opinion. gives me an idea or two as well. What about painting the metal bezel around the radio to a satin or flat black? All depends on which way your going with your interior though, I really just want to know how the heck to get that metal bezel off so I can tackle mine, has a dent in it that needs to be fixed. Ya I second the previous question, how are you going about the ambient lighting install? Curious to know

Hi does anyone know how to or if it's possible to remove the large metal trim piece that surrounds the radio console on the dash?

Just did this to my 07. Was looking to buy a black emblem from ebay but they want like 60 bucks for one. kinda crazy. Plasti dipped it and knifed it out

Warped rotars. You can get them machined, have to find a shop that will do it. They call it getting your rotars "turned." All they do it machine the face to take out warped brake surface. Problem is, the more you get your rotars turned down the easier they will warp again in the future because there will be less and less metal there to withstand the heat build up. In my experience I found brand new parts for about the same price so I just went that route. I am very happy with the performance of my brakes now, they brake about the same as factory pads and rotars but I for sure feel a lot more responsiveness when you first step on the pedal having the drilled rotars, they grab more. Just make a ton of brake dust, you can get low dust brake pads too though.
