Ive talked to a buddies shop and after putting my 2011 edge on the lift, theyre going to remove the muffler in the middle and replace with a straight pipe then the pipe splits into two more mufflers before the curve then tips. They said they want to replace two rear mufflers with flowmaster 40 series and keep the tips. I seen a video with an old edge 3.5 with magnaflow amd sounded terrible. I have the feeling flowmasters might be the same but will post videos after works done. Theyre charging $200 flat for parts n install. Im prob wrong but arent flowmasters more for v8's rather than v6's? If thats the case wouldnt i be better going with some ricer mufflers like greddy or such for a better sound. Btw theyre just changing out.the mufflers and eliminating one in the middle muffler/resonator

Thanks for the clean cut kit for the guy that dont know too much bout these things, lol. Its funny im kicking my own a** cause i realized how bright the lights were last night after i finally removed the tint and they are so much brighter. Im actually happy with them for the moment, but i think ill either get that kit or wait till they develop the D3S stuff. Thanks for the info!

sorry i apologize for the name calling, but i decided to man up, and remove the tint, black out the housing and retrofit the projectors. will post pics once i find some more info. can you tell me exactly what i need because i feel dumb as im looking through the retorfit source and so on. I know i want the 50W ballast, and the 6000k bulb. the Mazda 3 lens looked the best when it came to the color in the cutoff line, but do i need to buy a new projector as well. im a total newb when it comes to this stuff. I would greatly appreciate any info you could provide. sorry once again.

Yeah try pulling the fuse out, and putting it back in. i believe its a 20 amp fuse and its number 29, double tap by looking in the manual, that should fix a frozen screen. does for me. 2011 edge

Night Time Photos w/ tint

ABsolutely sick looking edge, from those rims to the lights. It looked like the projectors you had in one of the first pics had the halos around the projector? not sure if it was just the pic or not. Also how did you get the lights to look so blue? is it that the HID"s in the sport are different than the HID's in the Limited cause mind look no where near that blue before the tint. Im going to do the same, paint the lens inside and remove the tint on outside to keep light efficiency. Sorry but all this is new to me, totally tricked out tho. and what type of wheels were they? the grey/ powdercoated looking wheels in the 2-3rd pic?

I didnt buy the roll of tint out of wlmart or anything. I belive the percentage was around 35-40%. I mean ythe lights are more clear than the stock tint on my rear windows. Maybe its the pics from my cel phone but in person they arent really that dark. I bought the tint of e-bay and they came pre-cut to the specific year n model. they offered darker but igot the lightest possible. I will post pics at night to show you.

thanks i appreciate it, i wanted basically the look, and the brighter bulb would be another plus but basically i enjoyed the top of the headlight line on the road, in my friends EVO, that was basically what i was trying to go for. But obviously im not going to spend 200+ just to obtain a look like i did with 20 dollar tint. I havent had a problem with vision and its plenty dark on backroads where i live. Thanks for the info and the "Magnuson Moss warranty act " info i would have not known bout that. so well see where to go from here.

Thanks for the info, will adding the retrofit void warranty? And thanks for the smart comment and no useful input a**

No, i wasnt looking up information or going with a brighter bulb because i put tint on my headlights and taillights. And actually with the lights on you cannot tell that the lights are tinted because it isnt that dark. Gotta love how people are so quick to bust your balls when you dont know as much as the next guy. Know it all's so quick to criticize instead of lending their knowledge. Thanks for the comments.

What temp is the lights on a 2011 Edge Limited with HID's? I want to get a brighter light but do I need to change out the ballasts along with the bulbs for a a brighter look or just the bulbs since my edge is already fitted with HID's?

Well this weekend i got in the tint I ordered from eBay for the head n tailights. It was actually a film rather than the reg paint most use. I was having bad luck with the power inverter n heat gun I had so I had to install all the tint with a Squeegee and a freakin BIC. Headlights went on no problem but the Taillights were a pain because of the curve. Im going to have to take em of and man up and get em painted. Plus just got the new Grille for the edge which will be hitting the body shop this week. Blacking out the grill and possibly buying the Sport Front End but we'll see. Will post pics after the grille is installed. Has anyone used those ford emblem overlays? I wanted to black out the backround on the ford emblem but still have the chrome lettering.

Ive searched on a few sites for exhaust, Ive found a Gibson Cat-Back for the 3.5, I dont know about the 3.7 though,
