  1. I bought it from ebay. Got them down to $24 and then $6 for priority mail shipping.

     

    So far the way to fix the issue with my HIDs both firing up is to manually turn my lights on and off. Seems that they only have failures to fire when they are on automatic. Hopefully this wire harness fixes that issue.

     

    Was this a one-time auction since I can't seem to find a harness with multiple ebay search words ?

  2. The wiring harness should already be there for the turn signal. My guess is that they do not change the wiring on the models. It would cost more to have multiple wiring layouts across the different models. Anyhow, it won't be cheap but I bet it is an easy mod.

     

     

    Sometimes that is the case but since their is a different harness for the SE model's lack of vertical fog lights....I wouldn't be so sure the mirror harnesses are the same.

  3. . The answer is no. Just not worth it. There always is a few HP left in the stock tune...the factory tunes it safely a tad rich when new so as it leans out with age it's not too lean. You can run it a tad leaner if you are careful. That might make 2-3 HP. You can run a louder freer flowing exhaust....that might be worth another 2-3 HP. You can tune it for premium fuel.....that might add 6-8 HP....but increases fuel cost about 10%. None of these mods really does much for performance in an Edge. It would take 10-15 HP increase to even make the vehicle one tenth of a second quicker in the 1/4 mile. You can't notice that on the street. Although some claim they can. Loud exhaust usually makes the car sound faster.....even if it isn't.

     

    IMHO the Edge is not a good candidate for performance mods. it's too heavy and you can't easily change the front axle ratio. In a rear wheel drive vehicle like a Mustang....just changing the rear axle ratio to about 10% lower gear makes the car feel like you added 50-75 HP. You can't do that with an Edge (you could run little bitty small diameter wheels in front LOL....gives same effect). Changing gearing (increasing mechanical advantage) is the biggest bang for the buck you can do for a vehicle's acceleration....and that makes it use more fuel since it's usually turning more RPM all the time..

     

     

    Agreed. The Edge should just be enjoyed for what it is.
