s4tom3 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 As promised I have finally completed installation of my new DDM Tuning HID conversion. What a huge difference it has made over the pathetic stock halogens. ZERO PROMBLEMS!! Ordered the complete kit from DDM Tuning who happens to be located in San Diego. They said to go with their new Ultra Canbus HID Kit. http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/UltraCanbusHID. I went with the 5500k bulbs and they work amazing. They do have a slight hue of blue and are very bright. They fire up immediately with no apparent warm up. More in line with the new lighting systems on BMW, Audi and Mercedes. The cost was very reasonable at $119.95. Had the shop next door do a custom install for $120. A lot of improvement for the money. And best of all LIFETIME WARRANTY ON BULBS AND BALLASTS!! Can't beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason05gt Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I put HID's in my wife's Sport and was having issues. Our cars require the CANBUS kit and the kit that I bought needed the full relay harness. What is happening is that the ballasts aren't getting enough voltage and shut off on some occasions. The harness connects to the battery vs pulling voltage from the OEM headlight harness. I went with 4300K which is a bit brighter. Looks nice!

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nice upgrade! Though the kits are a bit over the $39.99 range we used to quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tron1974 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 So, do you have both high and low beams? I want to get a set of these at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4tom3 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 So, do you have both high and low beams? I want to get a set of these at some point. Only low beams. High beams are a separate bulb. Don't need brights now that I have the HID's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducrider Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Any thoughts you may be blinding oncoming drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4tom3 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Don't think it is an issue. I compared light cut off on my garage door before and after. They look like they are exactly the same. Bulb position did not change. No one flashing their brights at me. Just much better lighting over halogens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 What's the setup in the new Edge? Separate highs and lows? If so, are they both halogen projectors? Looking at pics online it almost looks like Ford is using a projector for the lows and a reflector for the highs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4tom3 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Halogen projector low beam. Separate reflector bulb for DRL and high beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Miller Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks. Has anyone swapped out just the bulbs in a 401A Sport with the factory HIDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Chris, it would actually take more than a bulb swap. You would have to go with a different housing altogether. For instance, if I wanted to use the same housing for HIDs on my 2011, I'd have to change the housing from the 9006 halogen housing (Stock) to the D3S housing that is on HID equipped Edges. The headlamp assemblies for HID equipped Edges are anywhere from $400-$600 through the dealership. On top of that, you'd have to find a D3S HID kit.

Rob Bonacic Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 @s4tom3. Did you have to do anything special on this kit. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/19755-2015-ford-edge-hid-headlams/Or since its "Utra Canbus" you just plug and play. ?

037 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) stock 15' Sport with HID option is D3S which acts as both a high beam and low beam (in a single bulb). DRL is H15. Edited January 30, 2016 by 037 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denicio Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 My recent upgrade to HID lights has caused several drivers to flash me with their brights. Can the lights be adjusted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 My recent upgrade to HID lights has caused several drivers to flash me with their brights. Can the lights be adjusted? No, by aiming the lights lower, you decrease the amount of usable light the driver of the vehicle has. Oncoming traffic will always be blinded by your lights because you have HIDs in a housing that was designed to reflect halogen bulbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blouisgod Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Which bulb did you get? I see h11a or h11b in researching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Which bulb did you get? I see h11a or h11b in researching. It's easy to tell which one you need. If the wide slot in the bulb socket is at the 5 o'clock position, that is h11a. If the wide tab is at 11 o'clock position, that is h11b. Same bulbs, different tab orientation.
