Do you have the full LED setup (e.g. backup lights and turn signals)?
-
So, in other words, it's not worth the extra hassle to upgrade the C&D pillar speakers as well as the center channel in the dash.
-
Dingo: When you changed your dash and D-pillar speakers, did you notice any sonic improvement?

My wife has told me that she's seen a leak under the Edge. I plan to have this and a litany of other things checked out while I still have a warranty.
-
Mine just did it twice on me within the same day. I am going to have that checked out ASAP.

A few more things: a) 35 watt systems are just plug and play. No special harnesses needed. To clarify the 6000k comment, HID output is measured in lumens and the K values are color temperatures. Any HID kit is going to be brightest between 4000-6000k. My 6000K kit was 2800 lumens. The 5000K I currently have is 3200 lumens. Bear in mind, those values are with 35w kits. 55w kits are going to be higher but, again, you will need the harness. c) The kits commonly used here are DDM or Morimoto (via TRS (The Retrofit Source)). I went with a totally different vendor for both kits. -
Since I owned a 2008 previously, this is what I did: a) Made sure that the ballasts were 100% digital. Non-digital ballasts had issues with flickering. Went with a color temperature no higher than 6000k. If you did that, you were reducing light output unless you went with a 55w system. The higher wattage systems do require a relay harness. c) I actually went with a 35w system for both high and low beams due to the extremely dark roads we have here. I never had a check engine light nor any problems with the vehicle after installation.

I think carbonedge should get it as a tribute to his departed Edge.

To answer the first part, all Edges are assembled in Canada. Oakville, ON to be exact. Your car will not have DRLs unless it was a used one from Canada or a state that required DRLs (e.g. California).

Advice on new 2013/14 Ford Edge Limited AWD
PrinzII replied to JimPA's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
My stone interior is holding up fine. No discoloration. However, I also tinted the glass all the way around. -
No choice if I am going to Prescott, Sedona, or Flagstaff.
-
I am reading that the 128s can be used.
-
Cellbine: 75-85 mph. However, you have to consider this was not flat. I was literally climbing a mountain.
-
I am running a Patriot 16GB. I am looking at either a SanDisk, Kingston, or Patriot 64 GB card. However, I have seen the new 128 GB cards I am wondering if those will work in the S4.
-
Did anyone upgrade their memory cards? I am looking at going to a 64GB card. I also reduced the resolution of the video to 720p.

From the album: PrinzII's '08 Edge SE, '11 Limited, and '18 SEL

I just ran to Prescott this past weekend and averaged 21.6 MPG after 284 miles. This includes an altitude change from 1500 ft to nearly 4000 ft above sea level. With two days of reguar travel back and forth to work (and one severe dust storm), I am at 20.9.

Did you try the equalizer settings?
-
What's the scoop on the strut tower brace and sway bar? I am interested in those.

Subwoofer Subwoofer replacement in Ford Edge 2008
PrinzII replied to Kanatronic's topic in 2008 Edge & MKX
Did you look at this one? http://www.jlaudio.com/10w1v3-2-car-audio-w1v3-subwoofer-drivers-92080 Also, what are you using to amplify the sub? -
According to the glass shop I used, there are different prices if you have the acoustic layer (Sound Screen), Rain sensing, or regular. Mine is the Sound Screen and it is over $300 brand new. This is enough to make me glad I have glass coverage on my auto insurance.
-
Stopped in yesterday and ran over some install related questions. They speculated that the 12TW3 w/box may be too large. Also, they want to keep the stock amp to power the center speaker and the two on the D-pillars.
-
JL Audio, why must you torment me? Now, you come out with a 12TW3 sub? I am fortunate to be in the shopping and saving stage.
-
This time, they came out to replace the windshield. Considering that's my first time seeing the car without a windshield, I found it strange that it didn't look finished from that point of view.
