  1. Well, it seems I misspoke about the Serious radio when I said I almost let the program "age-out" I find the better half had paid for the extension. HOWEVER, received a lengthy e-mail with THIS paragraph: "IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Your subscription service will automatically renew for additional periods of the same length as the Plan you choose at the rates in effect at the time of renewal, until you call SiriusXM at 1-866-635-2349 to cancel. See our Customer Agreement for complete terms at siriusxm.com. Be sure to read it.I never agreed to this, and believe it is presumptuous to do this, if not illegal as well! Anybody else have "auto-renew" experience? :mad: Tiger_Steve
  2. I bought one, and found that the tap prong + fuse blade thickness damages the socket, because the thickness of both blades is too much. I finally found the double fuse holder which seems to be perfect. There is a listing for this fuse on Amazon, http://www.amazon.co...f=pd_sim_auto_1 Littelfuse FHA200B ATO Add-A-Circuit kit. I bought mine at a local parts store, at it came with 4 fuses of different amp ratings, but it seems to me that there is already a fuse in the "spare" connection in the under-the- dash fuse box. Fuse 34 is for the reverse sensing system The proper fuse to tap is # 33, a spare. All from the Ford "Owner's Guide" for the 2011 Edge, that comes in the zip document holder. Tiger_Steve
  3. Our short experience with Sirius radio was not all that fruitful. When the short trial period was over I decided NOT to renew - especially since the only benefit to me was Road Traffic. Since I could not get unless I paid for the most expensive options package, I let it lapse, and trashed all their offers. Well, it arose from the dead and suddenly the Radio Portion is working. Of course, to me. they only offered one or two channels I could stand listening to. Hmm! I wonder what happened, but I am not going to ask. :hide: Anything like this happen to our friends here?

  4. Here is the direct Amazon Link to the Amazon fuse taps: http://www.amazon.co..._ecc_rvi_cart_3 (it may not a hot link) Anyway, it may be connected through my own browsing, but close. Search Amazon for "Wirthco", if this link doesn't work. Tiger_Steve
  5. I tried, a few days ago, to send pictures - but the list would not accept them ????? Here is the data from Langstrum's Foundry - however their fuse box is on the left, and ours are under the dash (from interior, under some plastic removable cover to get to the fuses. Lanstrum's version is st: http://www.landstrom...h-foglights.php Here is a small electriical connector from Amazon: and here are the JDM Toy.com ad or the strip, 2 18 inch strips: $25.99 http://store.ijdmtoy...strip_sku59.htm Hope all the attachments get through.
  6. I did buy the set from iJDMtoy,com "LED_Audi_Style_Strip_20 inch pair for about $26. Now listed at $16.99. Looks good. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find the "power" connection. I want the LED lights on whenever the motor is running, and off when it isn't. I have the references for connectors to connect to the correct fuse. http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Audi-Style-Headlight-Fog-Light-LED-Strip-Lighting-p/led_audi_style_strip_sku59.htm I was told that these fuses are on a distribution box, under the dashboard, driver's side. It is not easy to get to the box for THREE reasons: 1) It is, apparently, under the drivers side dash, on the firewall, 2) It may be behind the firewall carpet 3) I may have trouble, with my arthritis, bending my back/neck to work in this area. Maybe I can get my son (or one of my grandson's sons) to get in there! Tiger_Steve
  7. Due to a reference to your post on radar detectors, the "only hot when ignition is on" fuse box helped me a great deal with installing my LED string in the headlights. I hope I am still young enough to get under the dash. (:-( Amazon.com has many types of wire ends to make this a neat job.

  8. Thanks, SilverEdge2011, I checked out this offering and I am uncertain. While the pair price for 24 inch strips (2) seems very reasonable at $24/pr - free shipping - The Ford has very good turn signals, with the "Limited" model design. I would rather have all white, or all amber - if allowed in California. Left a few messages on this at the DMV web site, but haven't heard back. Would you be familiar with CA requirements? Are these available with amber, or white only, strings? Can't leave a question on the web site. They (you?) ought to incorporate this feature, or supply the availability/compliance information.

  10. Thanks, "Bammer". They both do look alike. Like to hear from anyone who installed these, or the V-LED. I have the Edge LTD, which has different housings than any other Ford Edge model. This is a picture of the Edge LTD model, with HID Headlights (stock on this model). The bottom of the turn signal area sticks out, and the only edge is outside the housing in this area. This means sticky-side up, and air exposed, but underneath thew area below the HID headlight. (little clearance.) Here's a posted pic by "doubledeuce".  http://www.fordedgef...2-edgefrontjpg/ I was thinking about an "amber" color like the turn signal. I know that any red, or blue lights are not allowed in California. It is questionable about Yellow, or Amber. The guy giving you a ticket is REALLY not knowledgeable about anything but red or blue. Doesn't mean HE knows it's questionable, YOU are stuck for an inspection.So, you have removed the price issue. I have seen similar results with an LED string (like Christmas Tree lights, but can't recall where. Thanks for your help. Tiger_Steve
  11. Did a little research on this. The LED strip lights have installation instructions that place the LED strip on the housing holding the entire headlight assembly. No need to bake your light housing in the oven, and pry it apart. The LED's are placed on the body under the removed headlight assembly. 3M Double sticky-tape adhesive strip. The illustrated instructions look fairly simple. PlasmaGlow "LumaFlex" has a 12" strip set at $30 http://www.plasmaglow.com/lumaflex-led-strips/ A UTube link can be found at: http://www.plasmaglow.com/lightning-eyes-headlight-kit/ "AutoAnything" is the only site with ACTUAL installation instructions (illustrated) in PDF form: Look for this link! "Download installation instructions". Free Adobe Reader required. This seems to be a link to PlasmaGlow page, but cannot be found on the PlasmaGlow web site????? They sell the sets for about $41, including shipping Tiger_Steve
  12. Been looking at the "Audi" style flexible LED string for Edge LTD style headlights. As near as I can figure out the offerings, the consist of closely space LED's on an adhesive baking to place inside the headlight housing. They are moderate in cost ($40) Look great Issue is: How can they be installed inside a lens/housing glued together? I've seen lens headlight housings heated in an oven to un-glue. Messy and may damage headlight housing. What color(s) are street legal in California, for this application? I've seen white, blue/white, and yellow/amber offerings, but the manufacturer(s) have no idea about using their product. PlasmaGlow http://www.plasmaglow.com/lightning-eyes-headlight-kit/

  15. Here are MORE details on the NEW 10S14 - Re-Inspection recall: and YES this is new, with the recall notice in March, 2011. 10S14 - Re-Inspection The F-Series (which includes the F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550), Edge and MKX have been targeted due to an electrical short that could cause a vehicle fire. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) explains how the problem was discovered. "These vehicles were inspected using [an] integrated diagnostic system (IDS) that had a custom software routine to read the suspect body control module (BCM) serial number. Based on the serial number the BCM was either not affected or replaced. The custom software routine was not reading the correct set of characters, and was not able to identify a BCM that required replacement. Affected BCMs have the potential for an "internal short." There have been no reports of accidents or injuries. The recall will begin on or around March 7. Dealers will inspect the BCM, and if needed, replace it for free. In an email, Ford adds, "This is a relatively quick repair is expected to take less than a half day. Customers should work with their dealers on scheduling." If you have further questions, you may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 or contact NHTSA at :mad::mad:1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. The recall number is 10S14. No! this is NOT the old recall, but a recall of a recall that was not done correctly. :headscratch::headscratch::mad::mad::banghead: Tiger-Steve
