Thanks for the info! Didn't realize that the upgrade threads included the 2011s.

I'm in Chile and I just bought a 2011 Edge SEL. I'm guessing the car was imported directly from Canada (where it was manufactured) but the dealer can't find the DRL option in the software. I know this because I was standing right next to the mechanic while he had the computer plugged in the car. No DRL option anywhere. As a matter of fact, I didn't notice anything different than the option that we get on our dash save a few thing I couldn't decipher with my limited "Ford" knowledge. The main reason why I wanted the DRL other than the safety and cool effect is that the auto lamp sensor takes too long to turn on the headlamp. It take about 10 seconds after I go into a tunnel or underground garage. Here in Santiago there's an expressway built under/next to a river and it's mandatory(and for safety reason) to have the lamps on while driving in it. The other day, as soon as I went in it, a car cut in front of me, probably because he didn't see me because the headlamp didn't come on right away. 2~3 second delay is what I'm used to from other cars but 10 seconds is too long. Do your Edge take that long? If I have LEDs as DRL, at least it will cover me until the auto sensor catches on. Might have to go with Tarponbeach's route and install a relay.

Bump!

Question about the 9006 bulb on the 2011 Edge... The stock bulb has a larger tab than the 9006. Did this cause cause any fitment issues? Loose fit? Also, do the 2011 Edge have a "blinder" that lifts for the high beam? If this is the case, the first few flashes won't be very bright or effective, right? btw, what's the clunking noise I hear when the headlight comes on or when the high beam is flashed during the day? Is it just my car? Sorry for all the questions!

Hi... New 2011 Edge owner and wanted to know if anyone has done a HID upgrade to their halogen units. The halogen bulb was an oddball size/model. Any info would be appreciated.

It's unrelated but... When high beam is activated during day time or when the headlight comes on, there's a mechanical clunking noise under the hood. Any idea what this is? Sounds too loud to be a relay.

Hello... New to this forum and I've learned a lot already about the 2011. Is the 2011 Edge and MKX an update or a new model for years to come? In other words, will there be an all new Edge coming out in the next few years? I know that the 2011 got a major face lift after and more power but I wanted to know if there's a new one around the corner. Thanks guys!
