Pics would really help

never had any issues with park assist. YOU NEVER NEED TO PRESS THE GAS! You control the speed with the brake. I've used park assist probably 200 times in almost a year.

I had a personal message sent to him to check for you

Whats first and last name on the account? I can try and assist in this situation

Not my pictures, and I so wish Bill would have used a tripod and stayed in same exact location for his tests, but I applaud Bill for doing all this. Think every Edge owner has learned something from Bills MACTFORDEDGE videos. actually, the vehicle is in the same spots on the HID and OEM HID (dunno about the halogen), thats clear as day as the hotspots are in the same spot on the garage. Incline has zero effect on cutoff as the cutoff shield does not move independently of the vehicle. Foreground lighting, it's the same as going to the mall and walking around looking directly at your feet the whole time. Here's a research study on Foreground Lighting, You don't have to read it all, shit majority of it is too much science for me to comprehend. I just ask you read paragraph 5 on page 5 and then the last paragraph on page 14 http://www.lrc.rpi.edu/programs/transportation/TLA/pdf/TLA-2007-01.pdf the Edge projector is a piece of shit Halogen Projector when used with the bulb it was designed for. I don't comprehend how people would think it would be better by putting a bulb in it that it never had intentions of having. Why even change your lights? I get it, a retrofit isn't for everyone and those who know me pretty well when it comes to lighting will tell you, I'll recommend HID in Halogen Projectors because people are going to do it anyway, So I'll atleast refer them to a quality kit and not a dollar store xentec kit or DDM kit. My Edge, personaly...I wish it had Fog lights, I think the stupid signature DRLs are as useful as a throttle body spacer!

I'll spare the rods, cones, photoreceptors, photopic response class on nanometer reaction time. But no, my lighting knowledge has not come from a forum. actually have ZERO posts on HIDPLANET and only created an account to get pictures of a 07-10 EDGE retrofit for a member here. But you just made a whole case for foreground lighting while accurately describing the job of a fog light, not a headlight! everything above the red line is glare going directly into oncoming traffics eyes. The human eye is most sensitive to blue and violet colors and takes longest to adapt after exposure to them. Usable light, Bills OEM Halogen bulbs are horrible to begin with so I can't even use that as a good usable light source over HID and can't find my OEM Fusion Halogen Projector pics. I drive 3 vehicles often, each has 3 different types of bulbs. My two personal cars have Halogen Projectors and HID Projectors. My work truck has OEM LED Projectors.

http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/Hid/conversions/conversions.html Doubt you will actually read that though

You sound like someone more concerned about making $ than safely driving. Then again I believe you're the same person who says PNP LED is even better. I cannot type braille over the Web for you

and this is probably the next mod on my EDGE, yes even factory HID systems can be upgraded. https://www.theretrofitsource.com/components/bulbs/d3s-osram-xenarc-66340-cbi-49224.html#.V6nZn5grLIU

alright, I'm going to use my buddy Bills pic for this cause he captured all 3 of them. I shouldn't even have to explain why this is bad, you can tell just from looking at it. Here's my OEM HID Foreground Cutoff. PNP can't do this, Should be ZERO light from headlights in that box Look at the wall, a straight line of light. try this link too https://www.facebook.com/elstiggarage/videos/1695635690658025/

where are these pics? I haven't seen any that show the same cutoff with no bleeding light and no foreground light. actually I posted a video of a HID BULB IN A HALOGEN PROJECTOR Vs a HID bulb in a HID Projector.

How many PNP kits have I installed, lots, almost every car I owned up untill 2012 had a PNP HID kit and did it for everyone that wanted it done. you know just cause you install something doesn't mean you know the difference between "it fits" and "it works properly" every autoshop sells HID kits, that doesn't mean they know how to properly use them. Thats like saying my feet are a size 10 but because my foot fits inside a size 15 shoe, I'm still good to go run 2 mile race.

Just for you...

the youtube video is horrible, both cutoffs are horrible and you can CLEARLY see the light bleeding up in the HID and what looks like cheap horrible aftermarket spyder lights in the chevy. Then you referenced a post almost a decade old...smh. No reputable shop will tell you to put HIDs in Halogen projectors. Here is a RECENT video. Here you can see the light bleeding up from the halogen projector on the wall.

because there was a time when I to used to drive around with horrible lighting, blinding the world. Then someone schooled me on how to properly "mod" your headlights. If everyone turned a blind eye to people putting out wrong info then we all wouldn't be too bright would we? Also, I don't view the Forum I just view the active topics on the right of the screen, if somethings outside of those 10 or so posts, I wont see it cause that's as deep as I usually go unless I am on 24hr duty or something

We all have different standards, I'm not one to take shortcuts so I'm either doing it right the first time or not doing it at all. A Halogen projector will still give you glare, it's impossible to get rid of glare without running the right bulb and modding the headlights. With that said. Halogen projectors give off way less glare than Halogen reflective lenses when HIDs are put it. I still wouldn't do it though.

see below

you can't adjust the glare, it happens because you're putting the wrong bulb in your housing.

I have craftsman, but I don't use the pinch welds. Can't explain were I put them right now cause I can't even remember what the underside looks like right now. Thankfully I will be home from Thailand and Malaysia this weekend

If these were balanced dirty at the factory, there is a problem!

join www.hidplanet.com and do some lighting research

Halogen bulbs are going to give you more usable light in a halogen setup. Putting PNP HID in will blind oncoming traffic also with the glare. Aiming your lights lower to try and fix this, does not fix it. It just gives the driver even less usable light to drive with

Osram night breaker are better. I like function over looks. I personally would have kept the halogens. Like I said, they have more usable light due to the projector being designed for a halogen bulb.

So what halogens did you try? Halogens will give you more usable light as you have a halogen projector on your edge. HID is just going to be whiter and appear brighter due to foreground lighting

Explorer will not fit as a direct swap. Different bolt patterns but the fusion will
