Jeb_66 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Picked up a used 2007 Edge SE for my wife. Joined up here to lurk mostly. Lol. I'm looking at doing some minor mods to it. The day after we got it home I took it to the shop and changed every drop of fluid in it, plugs, coil connectors, put a K&N filter in it (figured why not), and did the brakes. I also hooked the IDS up to it and updated my PCM, and went through my programmable features to turn on illuminated entry and auto door locks. (Easier than using the keypad.) I like the way the fog lights look on the SELs so I started hunting kits for it and stumbled across this site. I'm a mechanic so I work on all kinds of stuff all the time. Maybe I'll be able to help out with some knowledge from time to time. If I'm not working on cars I'm either hanging with my wife and two boys (8 and 3), or at the gun range. So far there are only a few things I want to do to it. I already replaced the license plate lamps with LEDs because it just looks better IMHO. I am going to convert all the rest of the bulbs too and install an LED flasher so the thing wont blink fast. (My 03 F150 had to have one so I assume the Edge wil too.) I'm going to order a fog light add on kit and just relay it off my low beams (or probably my park lamps, since I'd probably like them to just run all the time with any exterior lights). I found a thread on here about the wheel skins, and I think that looks pretty sharp. I might order some off ebay once I do some research and see how they hold up. But for being pretty cheap it's kinda hard not to just get a set and try it out myself. Lol. The only think I want to do to it that I am unclear on how to is I'd like to take the roof rack off it. I think they look better without it, and we'll never use it anyway. My research shows I'll have to replace the whole strip down each side, instead of like a snap in cap just to cover the mounting locations (which would have made more sense I'd think.) Anyway, hope I can add to the wealth of knowledge around here if needed. Thanks ahead of time for all the info you all have already posted.
