  1. Did some photoshopping, tinted the headlights/DRL and put some Lexani Forged rims on it
  2. yes they fold but it almost feels like they want to fall apart...damn I totally missed the mirrors section too...lol
  3. So my 2013 Edge has terrible mirrors, you touch them and they creak. I am gonna take a video later to show them off. Just touching and pushing them feels like they are gonna fall apart. Anybody else played with their mirrors and noticed this?
  4. can help ya other than pull all fuses till you find the one that's blown. Enjoy VA. I originally from Virginia Beach
  5. glad I could be of assistance. It is a very easy mod too. takes all of 5 mins. I have also put the canbus bulbs back in as I finally reordered them on ebay. people at work always buy the ones I have installed right off me.
  6. easy mod too and the difference is subtle yet function while also improving looks...lol
  7. this is why both my cars have a $0. deductable. sucks about your lose man. in all seriousness, your car is safer in any neighborhood that you would question leaving it in. Nobody in lower class neighborhoods drive around their neighborhood looking for cars to break into, they go into nice neighborhoods
  8. yes a REAL photo this time... a cell phone pic from earlier, cleaning the wheel wells BUT since you brought it up...lol
  9. she cleans up so well. Always looks WET too I might add...lol
  10. so I finally got my LEDS from epanda on ebay (they always arrive in 2 days) the difference in the pics is minimal but in person the difference stands out. I took better pics on my aveo. went from this to this my daily aveo shows the biggest difference side by side pic,can see the difference in the light out put which is understandable considering the left doesn't have 4 leds on the outside like the one on the right
  11. I need info on this hid reverse the two of you are talking about. I think my rear window has about a 5% visibility with the 20% tint I put on top the factory setting
  12. I think this would work well in the puddle light, it's what is in the license plate of my aveo. It does good at what it's supposed to do, shine in one direction and being in the puddle light location has one purpose...shine down... http://www.ebay.com/itm/5W-2PC-OSRAM-JDM-WHITE-LED-SMD-T10-194-168-W5W-161-147-PROJECTOR-LIGHT-BULBS-/221253292356 I think I can see my license plate from a mile away..lol. So funny too cause the last thing we want camera/police to see is our license plate but we spend money on making them highly visible
  13. which wattage did you get for the cob, I buy all my LEDS from the same person on ebay and they have the COBS in 3w/6w/9w variants, though the 9 I haven't seen lately, I believe the puddle lights uses a smaller festoon bulb. I have the 36mm 6w version with 2 LEDS in my chevy aveo and even with the terrible light output (I forced it to fit. so the LEDS are right on the lense cover instead of having some room to spread before the lens cover) but here's the 36mm in my aveo, it still lights up the whole car. after typing all that and then scrolling up and seeing the puddle lights take a 31mm, anyroom in there to somehow make a 36mm fit? I think the issue with the 31mm COB is it's only 2w...not many decent options for a 31mm festoon bulb. probably be better modifying the puddle lamp to use a t10 wedge projector bulb..that would be crazy bright shinning on the ground! http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEWEST-OSRAM-CHIP-2X-36MM-6W-2-SMD-LED-WHITE-MAP-DOME-TRUNK-FESTOON-LIGHT-BULBS-/321169666184 that's in my aveo...
  14. I have these in the cargo/dome light...I make the sun squint in the daytime when I open my door...lol http://www.ebay.com/itm/221245339925?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
  15. That's one of the reasons I'm going back to my other LEDs. At least they have for LEDs to fire from on the sides also. Though for picture purposes I probably should have taken the license plate cover off
  16. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12897-diy-license-plate-light-fix/
  17. So we all know that car companies are cheap. Our EDGE comes from the factory with the bulbs both facing the passengers side. both LEDS are firing towards the passenger side Now we want to fix this issue. Get a box cutter or exacto knife and we have to make a notch. (I did mine quick so the wife didn't see me with a knife near her EDGE) We are gonna cut a notch out like this on the left side of where the lense housing goes which allows us to turn the lens housing around like this That's all there is to it. The rest of the photos will just show the lighting difference. Factory Modded Factory Modded Factory Modded Factory Modded Modded These are the LEDS I had in the plates (sold them) and will be putting back in http://www.ebay.com/itm/221250512628?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 These are what are in it right now http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-DESIGN-2X-OSRAM-CHIP-5W-WHITE-LED-SMD-T10-194-168-912-921-W5W-LIGHT-BULBS-/321162828784
  18. my NM plate doesn't stand out cause it's almost the same color as my car NM also has a bright yellow plate that I have subdued on the EDGE with a tinted cover...
  19. Yeah....when I modify the EDGE I will. All mods on the EDGE are top secret as its the wifes baby...lol
  20. one thing that annoys me is companies are too cheap to have a left and right license plate lens, so both fire in the same direction. I'm gonna eventually mod the EDGE to match my Aveo. Both my Aveo lights fired towards the drivers side like so.... after a simple modication with an exacto knife it allowed me to turn the light around and make the lights criss cross and focus on the plate and not the hatch
  21. not that expensive, those are for 4 pcs, I have two cars so it works well..I put them in and then sold them to a friend...I currently have these http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEWEST-OSRAM-CHIP-2PC-5W-JDM-7000K-WHITE-LED-SMD-T10-194-168-W5W-LIGHT-BULBS/221253297231?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D261%26meid%3D9196168598873302696%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D221250513065%26 the ones I replaced was these http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEWEST-4X-JDM-7000K-WHITE-LED-5630-SMD-T10-194-168-W5W-DIRECT-REPLACEMENT-BULBS/221252805652?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D261%26meid%3D9196168598873302696%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D221250513065%26 being an open LED, time eventually let water get to them and they started flickering and burning out
  22. I have these in mine http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEWEST-4PC-JDM-7000K-WHITE-6-LED-5630-SMD-T10-194-168-W5W-PROJECTOR-LENS-BULBS/221250513065?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D261%26meid%3D9193465630657924467%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D221244382837%26
  23. just put these in the front lights in the cab. already more of a yellow color now instead of the blue it was before....now to wait till it gets dark to compare http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-6000K-6-LED-5630-SMD-CANBUS-ERROR-FREE-T10-194-168-W5W-PROJECTOR-LENS-BULBS-/221255947917 these are what was in it http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEWEST-OSRAM-CHIP-2PC-5W-JDM-7000K-WHITE-LED-SMD-T10-194-168-W5W-LIGHT-BULBS/221253297231
