Dz0n3 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hello once again, Anyone know if fog lights are available for the new Edge? I have seen some pictures with actual fog lights located in the middle of the front LED enclosure. I have read somewhere that the European model come with them. Any thoughts?

punch-card Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I started this thread back in april, one person posted that it was a Chinese version.... Regardless, maybe by next spring we could find them on ebay for a customization project I still think that fog lamps provide good lighting for the close range when driving. My2cents.

Dz0n3 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I agree. I also just like how it adds to the facade of any vehicle. I have always had fog lights in all of my vehicles and they have looked cool plus given me extra light in rain, snowy, and foggy situations. I hope they do manage to pop up soon so i could add it to my new Edge. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz0n3 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Look at this Edge that is being sold in China. Two sets of projectors along with LED lights in the headlight. Plus it has headlights! Not fair lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I believe the "Edge" being sold in China is actually a rebadged Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz0n3 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Bit it looks nothing like an Explorer? To me it looks like they just straightened out the roof and extended it a bit to accommodate the third row. Aside from that it looks exactly like the Edge here in the states with some better headlights and foggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yep - extended edge w/3rd row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz0n3 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 A bit jealous China gets an Edge with a better looking face than its US counterpart. I do hope those fog lights become available to add to my Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27Sport Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 On the Chinese version the foglights replace the US versions LED signature lights. The Chinese version has LED lights in the headlight housings and actually use LED's for the low and high beams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz0n3 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yeah I read about that because it also comes with Adaptive Headlights. That technology is super nice and a shame the US won't get it. I would gladly replace the LED DRL with fog lights and have them housed inside the headlights.

torquer Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Keep in mind a lot of the per-country variations are based on local safety regulations. This is why European cars generally have far more advanced lighting than US cars and why its taken so long to see US cars with HIDs and LED headlights. Our safety regulations were developed forever ago by gubmint folks who know little or nothing about cars. I'm not sure that this explains the Chinese variant specifically, but the US has lagged behind due in no small part to outdated government regs.

akirby Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 We do have Adaptive LED headlamps on U.S. models - they're just all Lincolns. MKX, MKC, MKZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I REALLY want those foglights in the chinese version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz0n3 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yeah but the adaptive lights in the Lincolns don't compare to the ones they have overseas. And if you think about it here in the states we have to pay that premium for that technology while overseas they get it standard or for a small upgrade. And yes I have read that the reason we do not have that technology is because of our DOT regulations which are crazy outdated, some 50 years i believe. It is a shame we cannot enjoy that type of technology. This technology is sick! https://youtu.be/klkqOO7EaW0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 But the European Mondeo with the adaptive LEDs is priced like the MKZ here, not the Fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Halstead Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Has anyone replaced their led ones with Euro fog lights? with OEM no, hasn't happened. But I am trying to get a reputable lighting company to market an LED Foglight for the Edge, patience and I will keep people updated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
