Ok so I decided I couldn't stop thinking about it and couldn't sleep so I decided to go back out to the garage.
But I fixed the finger!!!!!
I took each bulb out and rotated it one tab clockwise. So as someone posted earlier, the tabs don't go in with the small tab at 6 o'clock, rather all tabs are rotated clockwise by one tab.
Now I am finger free. And the light pattern is perfect.

I just installed my ddm tuning 35W 4500K HIDs tonight. I got the bulbs in without too much time but it didn't fit perfect.
I am having the same problem as Robbn though. I have the finger in the same position on both lights. I put the bulb in exactly to match the housing.
Did you ever get rid of the shadow?
It's not too big of deal but if its not perfect I won't be happy so I will end up trying to get the shadow out of there this weekend.
The HIDs look awesome and I'm glad I went with the 4500K

It's not a whole new emblem. It's just an emblem overlay. It is a thick vinyl sticker that just goes right over top of the existing one

I actually didn't get the steering wheel emblem. But now that you mentioned it i decided i want one so I just placed the order. Lol
-
I am not sure of any place for that but I honestly didn't look too hard. I was too nervous to break it so I just used the overlays.

You can also get those on the website as well.

For some reason they don't have the Edge listed. But I did some research and found that the 2011-2013 Ford Explorer and the 2011-2013 Edge have the same size front and rear emblem.
The front and rear are different sizes but when you order the gel overlays from dmb.uk.com, it includes the front and rear overlay.
Both front and rear fit great. Total was like $32 but the website is in Euros but I just paid with PayPal and it converted it automatically.

Hey like I said, it doesn't affect me either way.
But it's also insurance fraud to have your insurance coverage listed in PA if its garaged in NY. I have known a couple people's policies that were cancelled because the insurance company found out ( and their accident wasn't covered)
Again man, I get it. I wouldn't want to pay that for insurance ever..... I'm just saying that its technically fraud
Also, rental is not included in "full coverage" if you don't specifically state you want to add rental coverage, you won't get a rental if you're in an accident.

Oh some insurance is definitely a scam. But it is also getting scammed more than ever before as well.
I can't disagree that $240/month is outrageous. Unfortunately that is part of the big city. I am the same age and I live in Wisconsin. And I pay.....$60.00 per month for Full coverage.
I have some experience with insurance and I know for a fact, that two of the biggest things that cause insurance rates to go up is 1. Fraudulent claims... And 2. The risk and bad driving of the other drivers on the road. ( you're premium is more so based off of the bad driving of the people around you, rather than your own driving for the most part)
The thing about your claim you could have reported it to insurance either way. However, by claiming a hit and run accident, it turns the accident to "not at fault" for you and effects the policy premiums of everyone in your area..... Instead of accepting fault for the accident and taking an "at fault" accident and only having it affect your own policy premium instead of everyone's.
I hope that makes sense.
Basically what I'm saying is that there are too many people that submit false or inaccurate claims and everyone's policies in that area are affected... Especially in a big city where there are many more claims...
I honestly don't care either way but I'm just tossing my 2 cents in.
We should get discounts for having sweet looking red caliper covers!!
-
Unfortunately, one of the reasons that insurance companies have to increase premiums is due to an increased number of fraudulent claims. Those claims directly affect everyone else's premiums.

I have noticed the same thing as well. Right off the lot. Mine was pulling a little too hard for my liking so I brought it right back and I did end up having a bad tie rod. The dealer fixed it and did an alignment. The pull was much better but I definitely still notice a slight wander depending on the slant of the road and it follows any uneven surfaces in the road... Very noticeable on some of these terrible wisconsin roads

I have had the same thing. It's just a quiet, but noticeable tap or click. I can hear it more when the engine is cold. I have also been told that everything is all good and it is just the injectors warming up and it will not affect anything.
-
I love the caliper covers. I think they look awesome. And I didn't even have to take the wheels off.
-
I just emailed MGP and they said I'm the 4th person with an Edge to have the same problem with the rear clips. They are going to send me out some new, shorter rear clips right away.
-
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Let me know if those new clips work Dingo!
Mine are on and work after some trimmng but I would like to get the correct set of clips if they have some.
-
The red looks awesome on the white sport too!
I was able to do everything with the wheels on as well. That made the installation go so fast. I'm curious why nobody else had any issue with the rear clips like I did. Oh well, they are on now and fit fine after a little trimming.
-
Has anyone else had a problem with the rear install. Like I mentioned in the previous post I had to modify the rear clips to make them fit. Based on other posts it sounded like nobody else had to do that. The front went on perfect but the bottom of the rear clips needed to be trimmed otherwise they would not slide all the way on and hit the rotors.
