Hello all, Jordan here, new to this forum. Just picked up a 13 Edge SEL and loving it so far! The first thing i wanted to do was make it look better with some nice lighting. Already installed HIDs and Interior LED bulbs, all looks good there.
I tried looking around the forum a bit and couldn't find anyone with an issue relating to mine.
I purchased: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SFSQ1ZMand i'd hate to say it, but i believe they are TOO bright for the front Parking/Turn Signals, the amber lights aren't too bad, but the white light just glares everywhere behind the "edge" plastic in the housing. I figured i'd probably get pulled over quick for blinding people with those. (I live in Jersey, we get pulled over for breathing too loud.)
So i ordered a second pair, in hopes to find something a little bit dimmer, really i just want the turn signal to be noticeable and the parking lights to match the headlights.
The second pair was: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KLSZ632. I plugged them in, turned on the lights, and the white lights turn on for about 1/8 a second and turn off, checked polarity and i'm good there. The turn signal/hazards work with no problem (white-off), but the parking lights will not stay lit.
I'm just wondering if they are trash bulbs, or if there is something i should know about the Edge before ordering ANOTHER replacement. Thankfully i have Amazon Prime so it only takes 2 days to get bulbs, and they don't give me trouble returning them, but i don't want to go through like 4 more pairs before finding something that works.
Honestly i wish i could find something to perhaps slide over the super bright ones to kind of dim them down a bit because other than how bright they are, they work great.
Any ideas or suggestions? I have resistors for the turn signals, so i'm covered there. Oh and i don't have DRL (not sure if that matters at all.)
