2013 Edge SE, putting vertical lights in, suggestions?

[astec]

hey all

 

just bought a new 2013 edge SE with the plastic inserts. Does the SE come prewired for the lights? I found some FoMoCo lights on ebay and the wiring harness for them. But someone said they're all wired at the factory. Anyone know?

 

Also, on the SEL, do these work as DRL's, or are they accessories for when the headlights come on??

 

Thanks all,

You're better off with these. They'll work perfectly with your SE.

They work as DRL (as designed) and dim (to 70% of DRL/daylight mode brightness) when your headlights come on.

I looked at these, but theyre not available?

Dan (kc300c on here) is the owner and has confirmed that his first 100 orders will start shipping next week, while the second 100 sets will start shipping the week of June 17th (of which he has availability). You won't have to wait long (and will be worth it).

 

His lights work with or without the stock harness. For the 2011 & 2012 SE Edge's, I believe the consensus is that the OEM harness is NOT there. For 2013, one forum member (sajid.ali) DID confirm that the OEM harness was, in fact, available behind the plastic covers of the SE (http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/11178-turn-signal-mirrors/?p=96651). You're best bet is to take a peek behind the bumper and confirm yourself.

 

Again, you're better off with the DTBL given the compatibility with ANY trim level edge and the additional benefits and features vs OEM.
