cal3thousand Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Well, the slow boat finally got here yesterday. I installed the DX Festoons and they are really bright and very white. If you can wait a month, the DX 42mm Festoons are well worth $2.70 each. 15 bucks to convert all interior lights and license plate bulbs to LED!!!! Patience is definitely a virtue with DX. I've gotten into the habit of shipping everything that I get from China to work. Then, when it comes in a month later, it's like Christmas because I forgot all the crap I ordered Reminds me, I have 12 CREE Q2 Emitters waiting to be put into the LED strips...

cal3thousand Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 These are reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally expensive, but reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally worth it. http://www.v-leds.co...3-6429-578.html Here's back seat dome, back seat dome and map lights, and cargo light, in that order... Those look awesome but your link is broken because of the website upgrade debacle they had at V-LEDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Hey Cal, have you seen anything on DX that you think might be a decent reverse LED? Gotta order a few Cree XML's anyway so I'm thinking of throwing in a few Reverse LEDS to try. By the way, great thread about the back-up light LEDs.

I'm actually happy with the V-LEDS ones currently. I think a couple cree's in there would be badass though. Totally custom and as bright as you want.

toeknee Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Tried the install, same issue 39mm only fits cargo light so im going to order 42mm. Unfortunately one of the contacts broke off of the dome light and I will have to replace the light fixture itself anyone know where I can order the fixture? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Check eBay, Junk yards then, move onto the dealer as your last resort. I heard some noise about this being a part that is shared with other cars, you might want to check up on that.

Airedale2 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks for the advice everyone! We switched out all of our interior lights on our 2011 Edge Limited, and they look great! The procedures and videos provided were perfect, and we had no problems! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 KC, I'm still waiting for you to document a HID installation ! :D I really want to add HIDs to my 11 but I'm just not sure how durable these low-cost aftermarket kits are.

shantz Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I don't know if I should use these; 39mm Festoon or these; 41mm Festoon for the rear dome light / cargo light in my 2011. Thoughts? Only downfall is they don't have any 35mm Festoon bulbs for the puddle lamps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Shantz, I used 3 x 41mm for the rear cargo/dome: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0061SHI7I/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00 And 31mm for the puddles: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ZVZNPM/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackedge14 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Just got some 39mm Festoons in the mail for my 2011 SEL and tried to install them. They fit the rear cargo light just fine but the round metal ends are way to small to fit tight in the rear dome. Where did I go wrong? I've got them working with a few wraps of good old aluminum foil but I'd rather order the right size. never put aluminum foil just close the opening with a pair of plier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlsanjose1224 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I just got the LEDs installed. The trickiest part is to get the second-row dome light out. As it turns out, you can just pull down the rear of the dome light (the side that faces the rear of the vehicle) with some force. Then slide the whole assembly out. From there, you can disconnect the power cable so that you can take the whole thing out. Then, remove the lense cover to gain access to the light bulbs. I used 39 mm Festoon LEDs. In some posts, ppl say that the connectors become too loosened once you remove the original bulb out. You can readjust this by squeezing the two prongs together by just using your fingers prior to putting the new LEDs in. Then reverse the steps to install.

kc300c Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I know this is more of a DIY thread, but for those who may not want to spend the time or don't have the comfort level to tackle some of the heavier LED mods, I do offer plug and play LED lighting solutions for the Edge.
