normcloutier Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Took delivery of my 13 edge yesterday. Fabulous vehicle. Did a factory order so I could pick all the items that I wanted and not be limited by what was on the lot. I was quite surprised and dissapointed when I took the family out for a drive last night and went to turn on the ambient lights and couldnt find them on MFT. Turns out they are not available on the SEL. The dealer had given me a 12 SEL to test drive and it had amb lights which I liked. When I was building the edge, there was no option to select amb lighting so I assumed it was standard. Wrong. So just a heads up for anyone looking to buy a 13 SEL. If you want ambient lighting, you need to upgrade to a limited. Too bad. I really liked that feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limited59 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I was on the fence myself last year when I bought my Edge. The dealer stocked similarly equipped SELs for less (obviously) but I didn't want to go with a 6-speaker stereo system (my previous vehicle had 8). Also, ambient lighting, homelink, rear view camera and HIDs weren't available on SELs at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmard Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Can you add the ambient kit to the 13 SEL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmillz1331 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I have an 08 SEL...instead of buying the ambient lighting kit, I got LED strip and put them in myself and even added an on/off switch. Cost about $30 total and its a fun DIY project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I believe that ambient lighting can be installed by the dealer, only thing is that it might not have color choices. Not sure about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmillz1331 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm not sure about the color choices either....usually it just shows the blue color. Good thing about DIY is you can do whatever color you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
