Hi Everyone, I am looking to purchase a single edge sport wheel from a 2011+ model.Pls PM me if you are selling. I would need someone who either lives or can ship to Ontario Canada. For the record, I did not curb mine. I just want a backup for a spare tire. JN

I have the factory 22's in the summer on my sport model but run 17's in the winter.

MKX and Edge Sport Halos
jnight99 replied to whiteis33's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
+1 on the LED brightness. If those were brighter it would be very nice! I do love the halos -
Will these work with the Sport model? Interested...

Turn signal mirrors!

Now if only they were power folding mirrors they would be perfect! -
+1 Great experience with them. Repeat customer here as well.

Update - I took the Edge on a 7 hour tour with the rack installed + 1 bike. Lots of highway and twisty roads and a good mix of weather (ie. heavy rains, wind, etc) The rack stood strong the entire trip. I don't have confidence yet to put 2 bikes though so for the meantime I am going to stick to a single bike use. JN

I installed my Thule 9003 Trunk Mount bike rack today and wanted to share some pics. You can see in the first pic that we added a piece of foam to protect the paint. The rubber cable cover provided by Thule was not sufficient in my opinion. I am also playing with the actual position on the vehicle. Thule recommends Fit Dial setting "9" which is what is shown in the pictures. I will probably make adjustments to lower the platform a few inches and to level it out as it is slightly angled in current state. Overall I am happy with it and it held up well on my driving tests (including highway). JN

I called my local dealer this morning - Erinwood Ford (Mississauga Auto Mall) They have them in stock and had mine installed in just over an hour. WOW. Much faster and the new maps are pretty cool. Glad I got the update done. JN

2011 Edge Sport HID Install
jnight99 replied to jnight99's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Thanks. I happen to have the plates kicking around so I just cut them to size and drilled holes to support the factory mounting points. Glad you noticed the tubing! I picked up a single 3 ft piece from an electronics store for under 4 dollars. I wanted to protect the wiring and make it appear OEM. I may want to go back and change those tie wraps to black ones but I only had blue ones available at the time of install. The 3 grounds were all on the relay kit - correct. It came with the kit from retro-solutions and they recommended I use it, so I did. I was thinking I would not need it originally as well but this has proven to work well for me. JN -
Folks, I recently installed a set of HID headlights into my 11' Edge Sport. I did a lot of reading on here and learned quite a bit from others based on their experience, such as kc300c and dingo - thanks guys. I wanted to make a few of my own comments just to share my perspective. First, my kit was the 55W 6000K slim ballast set from retro-solutions. The ordering experience was very smooth and I had my lights in about a week after ordering (I am in Ontario, Canada) so I was quite happy with that. The install itself took me a total of about 3 hours collectively. Based on what I had learned, I think I could repeat it now in half that time easily. Some of my advice.... (some of which may sound obvious!) No 1. Start the task in the morning! I was so excited to put this kit in, I ended up doing it after work one later afternoon/early evening and the loss of daylight made it extremely difficult. No 2. If you plug everything in as per the schematic and the bulb doesn't light - check the negative/ground position. I had an issue with my ground that made a world of difference. No 3. Organize yourself and have a plan set out before you start. This includes HOW you want to mount the ballasts, WHERE you want to place the 3 grounds, and most importantly, having your tools ready. Note: Most of the bolts are either 8mm or 10mm in size. The airbox uses 2-8mm bolts holding it in and 2 plugs at the bottom where you just pull straight up. I chose to mount the ballasts on a stainless steel plate and screw it into the factory ballast mount holes. I also used stainless steel screws. Some pictures to show...
