securinu Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 So got the new 2011 Edge Sport Tail lights finally installed . Also the new trim for above the license plate also from a 2011 so i can mount my camera like the factory camera. I had the trim panel painted to match . Also moved the tailgate release switch from above the plate to the right of the plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also moved the tailgate release switch from above the plate to the right of the plate. I cant understand how they developed this vehicle in the first place with red turn signals, looks good. Can you tell me how you separated the brake and turn feed that comes from a single wire? I know I could take the brake feed from the centre brake but what about the turn signal and affects to bulb failure warning system?

rcbbdl1 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Don't think he wants he one to know how he did it..... I'm planning to attempt this in a week or 2 when mine come in so I'll be sure to let everyone in on the details... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depiry Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 What is the actual difference between the 2011 limited and sport taillights? thanks Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcbbdl1 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Here's how I'm thinkin to do the wiring. Tap into the singal for the front turns to power the rear turns.. Then tap into the 3rd brake light for brakes.. Seems pretty straight forward and easy, no relays, etc. needed... We will find out soon... Any input?

rcbbdl1 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Got my tails in.. Installed... For now I simpply hooked them up the same way as the old tails I used the brake/turn together.. Not using the separate turn signal in the new tails. I will work that out this weekend. Just couldn't wait to get them in a hooked up for now. I do have a small problem with turn signals. R side will blink fast and the L side does 2 quick blinks then a slow one then 2 quick then 1 slow... not sure about this but will work the bugs out and post it up...

Feirstein Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I will be installing a set on my 07 Edge in the morning. I will be using a converter box used for amber turn trailers run from a combined light setup. Don't know if this will work. I'll post details if it works.

Feirstein Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Yes, the converter box was not a solution. Strange things started to happen. I will report back when I find a good solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpesaturo Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Any update on this? I have a broken lens and was thinking about swapping them out for the new style ones.... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpesaturo Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Feirstein, wondering if you were able to successfully complete this swap? I don't have enough post to email you but could you email me on how you did this? Thanks Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feirstein Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Still a work in progress. I did eliminate the fast blinking by eliminating on of the pair of red segment bulbs for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activ_x Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Hello.. Noob here with a 2007 Ford Edge SEL.. just this weekend picked up Rear Tail Light Assemblies from a 2013 Ford Edge.. they look cool.. but spent the whole day with my mechanic attempting to fix the rear turn signal to work without the red tail light flashing. Also when I brake.. the amber light comes on.. So,. just hoping for an update to this topic fom way back in 2013.. someone knows something.. would appreciate your sharing. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 (edited) Ask HAZ (on this board) if he'll post a copy of the 2007 and the 2013 wiring. Should be simple after checking the wiring schematics. (He's been a lifesaver to dozens in this forum with service information.) Edited May 14 by enigma-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
