Nick Halstead Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I just bought the wife a 2013 White Suede Ford Edge SE. I've only drove it for about 5 mins and I'm dying to get the keys and drive my 48 miles to work in it and actually enjoy it. Can't say much about the car yet as I really haven't been in it.About me...I'm Active Duty Army stationed in Fort Bliss, Tx. Though I live on White Sands Missile Range (100 miles round trip, so I wont be driving the Edge much). We traded in my 2007 Dodge Magnum SE for the Edge as the Magnum was approaching 100k and she absolutely hated the Magnum. I had my Magnum on 22in Lexani LX15 Rims and lowered on Eibach Pro Kit and Dampers and that was pretty much it due to the seriously small 2.7 motor. Looking forward to interacting with all of you as I am coming from a dodge magnum community that is very very very tight knit and informative.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Welcome to the Edge community, and thank you for your service to our great nation I find the Edge almost TOO comfortable at times Really liked the Magnums when they came out, still like to see them around. The R/Ts and SRT8s are a rare sight. Nice work on yours! Very clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 yw, yes I like the simple and clean look. I'd take the rear wiper off the Edge too but the wife will kill me. Anybody have links to a good parts site. I need to get the foglights in the bumper, I see Ford doesn't sell an OEM kit and also searched and noticed one guy got them to work. For the time being I just want the look of them as I hate the black piece in the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Benny (https://www.levittownfordsupercenter.com/) is our goto guy on this forum. I don't know where you would get 2012-13 Edge parts other than dealer or fleabay. Might be able to save on shipping by going to a local Ford dealer. The official Ford site is http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/CatalogResults.aspx?y=2013&m=Ford&mo=Edge#Search Under Electrical, Lighting & Body, then Lighting-Exterior, near the very end of the listings, you will see the listing for fog lights. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Dog Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ft Bliss, the most inaccurately named Army base I ever visited :shades: Welcome to Edge ownership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm sure KC300c can help you out with your front LED lights. His are much nicer then the dim stockers and probably a lot less expensive then the factory units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Halstead Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Bliss isn't that bad. Though nothing to do in El Paso at all. Shit everything on this damn post is basically brand new now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Congrats on your new Edge Nick! I just bought my Edge less than a week ago... and like you I traded in a Dodge Magnum (2008 SE 3.5L V6) that my wife didn't like. I loved my Magnum, but I think I'll be loving the Edge just a little more. The folks on this forum seem to be very knowledgeable and have already helped me in my decision purchasing new wheels for my ride (pics to come soon). Best of luck!

Cruiser64 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/11909-my-first-mod-daytime-brightlites/ I believe I posted the link to the post I did when I installed my lights, They are a little rich but I believe worth it. Everything I needed was in the kit along with a very good set of instructions. Everything was very straight forward and simple, it followed the KISS moto (Keep It Simple Stupid) Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
