Wow!!! Did you do all the conversions right because I can't imagine getting that in my AWD V6 at 68mph... heck I can't imagine those numbers at 55mph.

In reading on the Porche forums where I found them talking about the size, there were a number of comments on HOW bright this sucker is!!! Annnnd I kind of think the dual level of light might be useful. They intend you to use it as DRL full bright, but then to dim down when you have your headlights on. I would probably add a relay in that would run off the bright (which ever controls the shutter on HIDs) and use the relay to break the sense wire. So my goal would be Full Bright in DRL mode. Dimmed with low beams. Full Bright with High Beams. Of course if they don't turn out to be as bright as everyone is making them out to be, I will just run them in in FULL DRL mode 100% of the time and not even hook up the sensing wire.

After some searching... I found a guy on some Porche forums state the measurements for the 8 LED are "8s dimensions: 165x18x35mm". I also contacted an eBay seller with them, they opened the box and measured and responded 16.3 cm x 1.7 cm x 3 cm. So it looks like about 6.5" x .7" x 1.3". Does that sound like they would fit? Yes I would be doing as you have, cutting up the existing stock light in my 2012 Limited to fit this behind the existing lens etc. Thanks for any info, Raymond

Where did you find the dimensions for the Phillips? I have been searching everywhere, but can't seem to find and size information on them?

What do you guys think of this Phillips Set? It seems to have a nice DRL box and a few more LEDs (8). Sure it is a bit more money, but it might be worth it. Amazon Link Thoughts?

Hmmm... the 2013 Escapes at Chicago did NOT have the update. The only Ford at the Chicago show I could find with the new version of MFT was a 2013 Fusion all lettered up as a demo car to show off MFT technology.

Nope... I saw the new version on a Fusion at the Chicago Auto Show. The dropped the temp and compass from the center, just the time now. So your passenger won't easily be able to see the outside temp, but you will still see it on the multi-function display on the dashboard.

Did you have these painted or is this stock color? Also where in Michigan are you located?

So does this mean there is a chance I am setting off other drivers radar detectors as I am cruising down the road??? :happy feet:

The one I have is 8p. If you want it I am happy to send it to you, PM me your contact info. Rayo

When I had my 2008 Edge, I updated the NAV, not sure of the version... but I can check the Disk and see if I can figure out what version it is. Seems like I had 6x from the factory and this is 7 or 8. Looks like Navteq is up to 10p. I am happy to send it to you as I don't need it in my new Edge.

We test drove it tonight before we signed the papers. I was impressed with how it drove compared to the 2008 which was the last one I had. It was so I dunno, Plush... compared to the old ones. Seemed really quiet going down the road and very smooth. I really liked the feel of the steering. I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow evening.

I just purchased a new 2012. I have been reading about the Touch issues for years here on the Edge Forums. I did not hesitate on the new Edge mainly because, I know a fix is looming. Sure it may not be perfect... but if a fix is pending.... I will risk it. I tried the 2012 Audi with MMI and the Wife has a 2010 Honda CRV with Nav... in my opinion Sync still BLOWS away at least those two options... buggy or not. Rayo

Been a member since 2007... yup the first year of the Edge. Well after having a 2007 for my wife and a 2008 for me that are long gone... I just purchased a 2012 Limited AWD with 302a, 20" Wheels, Trailer Pkg and All Weather Mats. Its Cinnamon with Sienna interior. Beat up a number of dealers before finally getting one actually local to me to play ball. Picking it up tomorrow. And unlike the 2007, I won't have to break the windshield on this one!!! :D Those who have been around a long time may remember I installed a Homelink, Ext Temp Mirror for my wife just after getting the Edge. I broke her windshield on the install. Not a fun day. Rayo

Gotcha... Thanks for the reply. Well I purchased a Limited 302a with 20s, Trailer Hitch, All Weather Mats. Cinnamon with Sienna Interior. Picking it up tomorrow.

I have been looking to buy a loaded 302a Limited with a sticker right around 44500. When I build this vehicle on the Ford Site, with my Zip code and all options and then go to Ford's Lease Payment calculator, the monthly payment is a good hundred dollars different then what a dealership is quoting me for the same term, mileage etc. Has anyone else experienced this with Ford's calculator... you would think they would not want it showing numbers over a hundred lower a month then the dealer would show for the same prices. Are there LARGE factors that calculator is leaving out or is the dealer trying to make some extra $$$. Rayo

Hey Guys... just an FYI... 8P is out there easily findable via your favorite Torrent search engine. I found it in like 2 minutes by searching Navteq, it was on my first page of results. It took overnight to get downloaded at 2.7 gig or so (RAR'd). I unpacked it and burned it using the MD5 file included in the RAR with IMG Burn (free, just Google it). Worked like a charm in my 2008 Edge.

Its hard to beat VBulletin.... :angry: (Yeah I know... its not free....)

I am not sure I understand what the product is???

Niether of the links are working anymore. Do you guys have the name of the eBay store that was selling them or a working link?

Hmmm... with that kind of attitude, I don't anyone will go out of there way to help you.

There is always one in every crowd.... just ignore the stupid comments.

We have two Edges. A 2007 SEL AWD and a 2008 Limited AWD. We live in Northern, Indiana (South Bend). We get quite a bit of snow each winter being in the Lake Effect zone of Lake Michigan. We live about 25 miles from work and both commute about 30 minutes each day. Before the Edges I had a 4x4 F150 and my wife had AWD Explorers. I can easily say the Edges get through the snow just as well as our previous vehicles. The AWD works well and the ground clearance is high enough to go through some pretty nasty stuff. Sure... I can't bust drifts at 45 MPH like I use to in my F-150... and I can't help folks stuck in the snow... but for the gas mileage and comfort difference.... we really love them. My wife's 07 lease is up in two payments. She is going to get another one!!!! Have they been without problem... surely not... is any vehicle these days?? She put just at 45K on in 3 years... I drive just a bit more. We have had very FEW visits to the dealer for anything but oil changes and tire rotations. (knock on wood). And yeah... by 08 has the infamous PTU leak, minor issue.....

I have an 2008 Edge with Sync. I thought the actual mirror piece looked exactly like the one I took out of my Wife's 2007. I will look closely at it in the morning and let you know, unless someone beats me to it.

I put one in my wife's 2007 SEL. Wires are there for power, but you will need to run the thermostat for external temp down the pillar and through the firewall. Since I was running wires down the pillar, I ran batt power and ignition power from the fuse box and just tucked the factory wires into the head liner. It made it a nice and clean, indistinguishable from factory install. I ended up breaking her windshield trying to get the old mirror off. There is a tool you can buy to get the mirror off, others said you could do it with a small screwdriver, but that is how I broke the windshield. If I did it again, I would just drive it to a automotive glass company and ask them to pull the old mirror off for me, they do it all the time. All in all it ended up being an expensive upgrade (because of the windshield)... but she loves it. I purchased the mirror made by Mito Corp. They are located in Elkhart Indiana and OEMs many of the mirrors for Ford. They are local to me, so I just picked on up. Seems to me it was near $300. I did this a number of years ago, sorry I don't remember all the details. Oh yeah, I got the one with Homelink, Compass, Temp, Auto-Dim.
