Not sure it's possible with LED controllers but a lot of us used industrial strength velcro to mount our HID ballasts in the factory locations. Mine are still rock solid after 3 years.

I feel sorry for all of you going through this with a very expensive new vehicle. :cry:Ford has had water intrusion problems with lots of vehicles over the years including the Taurus and F150. They need to do better testing and inspecting before mass producing their vehicles!!!!!!!

If the 6000's are to blue for ya I wouldn't hesitate to go back for the 5000's which should be a little brighter and whiter. I actually thought my DDM 5000's were too blue when I first installed them but I think it was just a little to big of a shock after driving behind halogens for so long. If ya start getting flashed by other drivers it's really easy to adjust them down a little which I had to do.

I pretty much did all the exact same mods, except the tails, to my 2011. Yes, speakers make a huge difference compared to the plastic toys that Ford uses. The one other thing ya might want to do is convert all interior bulbs to led. Did you happen to find out what Hid kit he used along with the wattage and color temp?????

Once the Jute carpet padding gets soaked it is extremely difficult to dry it. I had a similar problem with a 2004 Taurus and it took me about 4 days to dry that stuff with a fan in the summer !!!! If they don't get it completely dry it will eventually cause a mold problem. I had to fix the Taurus myself cuz two dealerships couldn't figure it out (AC drain tube clogged).

I went ahead and filed a mouse damage insurance claim today. $100.00 deductible works out fine cuz I need the front and back engine covers along with new hood insulation. I already checked the best I could for more damage but I'll have the dealership dig a little deeper.

Most on here in the past have used 9006 kits myself included. I would do lots of research before you have them installed so you won't be disappointed. Find out the brand he uses, color temp, wattage and if he will be installing a harness. Durability should be a major concern cuz you could literally be left in the dark.

Just noticed you're in Canada. I'm not sure how HIDs work with DRLs or if it's even possible. There are a bunch of HID threads in the Glass and Lighting section. I can tell you that the stock 9012 bulbs in your Edge are some of the brightest halogen bulbs on the market so there's not much, if any, room for improvement when it comes to bulb replacement. One night drive down a dark two lane road will probably get you looking for a brighter solution!!!!!

I know you said you don't want to go down the HID road but I would think about it. After 3 years with a $40.00 DDM 35/5000 kit in my 2011 I can honestly say that it's the best upgrade I've made to my Edge. They really do work awesome in the Edge's halogen projectors and it's a super easy install if you go with a 35 watt kit.

My engine covers (back and front) and hood insulation were also destroyed by those little *****!!!! Pretty sure the covers are there for noise dampening purposes so I'll be ordering another one when I get a chance. I'm gonna see if my insurance will pick up the tab cuz I know they sometimes wave my deductible.

Looking forward to results and pics. Someone else went with the LMZs on here but never posted pics. I'm a little skeptical how these will work in halogen projectors compared to how well HIDs work.

I think it actually looks pretty good cuz it fits tight to the grill. Now lift that bad boy up, put 44" Gateway Monster Gumbo Mudders on it and lets do some 4 wheelin!!!!!!!!!! Does that Bull Bar have light tabs on it? If so, ya gonna add some?

2011 SEL 54,000 miles. My 11 sits outside in Michigan 24/7. I was just cleaning and rotating mine and noticed that the original Michelins are really starting to crack along the shoulder and rim. They were not cracking last year cuz I would have noticed it when applying 303. Still a decent amount of tread left but I'll be replacing them just before the snow flies with a set of Yoko YK580's that I have sitting in the basement.

I'd go aftermarket. Nice double din head units with all the features you could want are really cheap these days and will sound much better then any factory stereo. Should be a really easy install.

I have no problem running tires with plugs in them and have done so for many years. In your case, because the repair is so close to the shoulder, I would run that tire in the rear. Not sure if I'm correct but I would think a back tire blowing out is better then a front because of steering ability.

I've been using plugs for 30+ years and never had one fail but that may be a little to close to the sidewall. Take it in and see if they think a plug and patch will be OK. They will know more when the tire is dismounted from the rim. Horrible aim, you really should have hit that nail an inch to the left!

I just finished an application of Duragloss 111/601 on my 2011 after a thorough clay bar session. Applying this Duragloss product by hand is identical to applying Zaino Z-2. Same consistency and ease of application and it only took me about 1 tablespoon to do my entire Edge!!! I did try the Duragloss 105/601 combo last year but it was harder to apply and I did not get good durability through a tough Michigan winter. If the 111/601 combo comes even close to Zaino Z-2 in the durability department I'll be using it for a long time. Duragloss 111 plus the 601 bonding agent will set ya back around $20.00 which is about $10.00-$15.00 cheaper then the Z-1/ZFX Zaino combo. 111 has always been compared to Z-2 and I now understand why.

The foam engine cover on my 2011 made a really nice mouse nest!!!! Now it dampens sound and allows air flow!! I think they are around $80.00 from the dealership.

This issue has been ongoing for more then 10 years with Ford vehicles. My 2004 Taurus had both front door switches go bad and I went through a few cans of lube before I finally sold it. I would think most companies would address the problem rather then just ignore it all these years. Maybe they preordered 15 years worth of door latches they need to use up!!!!!

Looks like some serious road rash on that rim! Proof that fast food is bad for your body and vehicle!!!

H-9's in place of the H-11's make a huge difference in low beam brightness. Lots of info online about the slight mod you have to make to the H-9 for proper fitment. Just make sure to aim them properly after install.

My 2011 (50,000 miles) has been that low for a long time. I just had them top it off a few weeks ago so I'll keep an eye on it. I have not seen or smelled any leaks which could be good or really really really bad. really really really bad = internal head gasket leak

Sweet, maybe the brain is still working OK!!!!! http://pdfsr.com/pdf/13n02-brake-booster-warranty-extension-2010-thru-2013-edge-and-mkx
