I finally decided to upgrade my headlight for better performance and style. Stock low beam bulb is bit yellow like most stock halogen bulbs which doesn't stands out at night. Since our headlight does not have the lenses so HID won't be an option. Fog light I picked Yellow, as you know, Vancouver has weather.

 

Shipping list is:

1. 1 set of MTEC 4350K Super White H11

2. 1 set of MTEC 3300K Ion Yellow H11

 

Both from eBay and cost me $70CAD including S/H (shipping took 2 days via Fedex from Taiwan), and both are rated at 55W just like our stock bulbs so I think there won't be any melting problem. And this dealer offers LIFETIME WARRANTY for their bulbs too.

 

Installation only takes about 20 minutes, there are lots of space under the hood so you can easily remove the low beam bulbs and replace them. Fog light is little hard to reach if you don;t want get under the car, but it still not that hard once you have the connector removed from the bulb. Just be careful not to touch the bulb glass because the oil on our hands will cause overheating to the bulb, that may reduce bulb life.

 

This is the result:

Low beam is about 20% to 50% better than the stock in performance, and looks much better at night. Fog light is WAY better than the stock, not just the performance (now you can clear see the light beam from them so the others), they also add a 'PRO' look to my EDGE, I think. :rockon:

I had a Murano with HID and was disappointed that Ford does not offer HID, these are as close as I'm going to get legally.

Try Hoen.com, I am using them in my 08 AWD Limited and am happy so far.

I had to write this,

 

1, You can't vent the Vista roof without fully opening the sun shade.. SUCKS

2. mpg...HORRIBLE..I drive very easy too.

3. Navigation - NO POI's hardly, I had to find a big school in Ann Arbor MI, not there and they are next to a large well known Church - not there either. THEY WERE THERE IN MY CHEAP MIO NAVI - THANK GOD

and the GUI is very confussing, I found several mistakes in screens too. I am a programmer and a developer.

 

Maybe Ford will read this. If this does not change, this is my last FORD!!!

 

What are you top 3 gripes.

1. Huge A pillar blind spots

2. Transmission slack after putting in park.

3. Brakes have no feel.

4. Doors seem to slam no matter lightly you shut them.

5. Horrible MPG!!!!!

I could think of more but thats enough for now.

Has anyone found a solution to the very loud turn signal flasher?

Anyone have a solution for very loud turn signal. Is there another flasher out there. My 2004 Murano was very quiet, so this is a shock.

Does anyone have any feedback on replacing the H11 low beam and foglights. I've done some research on Philips and Osram bulbs from the UK. Any info on better bulbs would be great.

I really like the White Sand Tri-coat and am now debating which color interior to go with and wanted to see what others on the board have chosen.

 

My dealer recently received a White Sand Limited with camel interior. I was originally thinking about going with the charcoal or med light stone, but have seen the camel and now it is a consideration too. The problem is that I can't actually see those interioirs in the White Sand so deciding has been difficult.

 

I thought charcoal initially because I liked the look of it, with the contrasting stitching, plus it ties in the black lower strip around the exterior of the Edge. I think it would also be least likely to show dirt. The only problem is that everything is black, so not a lot of contrast and everything runs together.

 

I also thought that the med light stone would be nice because it is closest to the color of the car and matches the door trim and headbaord. Although it is probably the most likely to show anything, dirt, scuff marks, etc.

 

I now have seen the camel and it looks nice as well. I like the black contrasting stitching that matches the dash and some of the trim and the camel matching the door inserts.

 

So if you have the white sand, please tell me which interior you went with and why as well as your likes and dislikes with your choice. If you don't have the white sand but have any comments on the different interiors and their pluses and minuses I would appreciate them as well.

I wanted to know if 2008 MKX headlights were HID and if not, why.
