rcaljr Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have a 2013 Edge SE with manual headlights. I would like to add the automatic feature. My question is if I add the sensor to the top of the dashboard and add the new headlight switch will this work? Or is there more involved? I would appreciate any feedback.

EspoMan Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I have 2013 SE also. Mine has the auto headlights. Why doesn't yours have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge1911 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I have 2013 SE also. Mine has the auto headlights. Why doesn't yours have it? I believe you have to have the 101A package. I know my SE has the 101A pkg and has auto headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hard to say if there is more involved. If you can plug in the new sensor (probably in the SJB) and the switch wiring is the same for both the old and new switch then it might work. Or you might need to get the dealer to update the smart junction box that controls it. I don't remember anyone else doing it successfully. You can also get an aftermarket kit that will work - it's self-contained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I follow several Ford F150 forums also, and this question has come up there also. Here is a link from owner's adding it with no problems to a 2011 model. Unfortunately, there are 20 pages and as the new models 2012 and 2013 came out, owner's were not able to do a plug and play to install auto lamps. The newer models required a trip to the dealer and some vehicle code had to be rewritten or overwritten. If you read through the posts you will see the problems they had to overcome. I don't know how much is comparable with the Edge system, but this might help you. http://www.f150forum.com/f38/auto-headlight-mod-123905/ If you want to read more, here is another link regarding adding the auto lamps to a F150. Discussion is also about problems if you have DRL's (Daytime running lights from the factory). http://www.f150forum.com/f38/adding-automatic-headlamps-155873/index3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 My guess is the Edge will be more similar to the 2013 F150 than the older models. And therefore more complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know there was different packages. I thought SE was just plain and didn't have any upgrades. Good to know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterc Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Has anyone successfully done this? It seems 2012+ models are not plug and play and have trouble doing this. I'm thinking to do the same thing on 2012 SE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
