TheWizard Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 It's no more difficult to install the Edge 2 Daytime Running Lights on an SE than on any of the other trim levels. Really, the only difference is that you are replacing a black plastic blank instead of the existing accent lights on other trim levels. http://www.daytimebrightlites.com/FAQ.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Unless the wire harness isn't there. Then you would also have to add that. You can find the harness on eBay or other sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ls973800 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Sorry for the inaccurate reply I posted that you may have to add the wire harness. I was thinking of just the factory light strip being added, not the aftermarket DRL's. I installed the DRL's and removed my factory lights. Someone was interested in buying them, but didn't have the wire harness in his vehicle to hook them up to. That is why he would have had to purchase or make the wire harness which is actually a pair of connectors with wires. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-2014-Ford-Edge-front-bumper-lights-pigtail-electrical-connectors/201046929674?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140602152332%26meid%3D01b0d4f3533741b796b6489e2813ecb8%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D200907990465 These are the connectors I was thinking would have to be added if the vehicle didn't have the wire harness from the factory. So Dan's kit does include them? I don't remember not plugging my factory connectors back in when I added the DRL's. Maybe I did and just didn't use the ones that come with Dan's kit? I checked his install video but didn't even see factory connectors being removed when the original lights are taken out.

TheWizard Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 The first version of Dan's lights used to use that factory harness. The current version does not use it all and doesn't even have a replacement harness either because those particular connections are not necessary. It just has a dummy socket on the back of the new lamp assemblies so that you have a place to park the factory harness (if your vehicle has one) to keep from leaving it just hanging loose behind the bumper cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thank you for the clarification between the two different versions. I have the second version but for the life of me could not remember what I did with the factory connectors. It's an early sign of CRS at my age.
