Its not the heat thats an issue. Its the rain

member of FEWW requested to have his rims blacked out earlier this week. a photoshopping away I went.

I noticed the halogen reflectoe part after I post it. The led in the tube is horrible. A gimmick just like the leds that have the slidding piece that allow you to adjust the aim. It's pretty simple though. Halogen reflectors get halogen bulbs. Halogen projectors get halogen bulbs. HID projectors get HID Bulbs. LED projectors get LED bulbs (these are application specific, f150 LED will not work in an acura). Been quite an eventful day here in Hawaii fueling helicopters. Which is why I missed the halogen part. I can't stop people from buying what they want to buy but if they want to look like a dumbass driving down the road creating glare at oncoming traffic thats on them. Just like I advise everyone, go on hidplanet, candlepower do research. Just had a member of FEWW not listen to me at all and put LEDs in his 15 titanium after I sent him HID links to buy. He totally regrets it and now after installing them. Some people have to find out on their own. Just cause its a fad doesn't mean it works.

VLED vs halogen https://www.hidplanet.com/forums/forum/general-discussion/leds/61321-vled-lmz-headlight-led-bulb-output-picture Led/hid https://www.hidplanet.com/forums/forum/showoff/output-shots-beam-pattern-pictures/60181-xb35-55k-hid-vs-3000lm-cree-led-in-koito-projector-h7-halogen-projector

The only recommended product from VLED in the headlight community is their switchback turn signals... Comparisons of halogen/HID/LED are all over HIDplanet and candlepower forums

Thats not accurate. LEDs require their own LED projector to aim the light and since their are various different styles of LEDs on the market each is going to offer different results due to their own diode placement. Simply plugging an LED bulb into a projector doesnt make it work. Though you can waste your money if you want. Or go search "scott mcgregor" on fb and ask him how he liked his LED bulbs in his projector housings.

Pretty sure oncoming traffic doesnt agree with you

I mean honestly I'm not even impressed with my OEM 15 Sport HIDs and will probably swap projectors later in it's life. your cutoff should have absolutely zero parts of it aiming up and the lowest parts should be on the drivers side. my cutoff

yeah it works and fills the gap nicely, not mad at that one bit

He doesnt sell oem D3S bulbs he only sells kits for non HID lights

To each their own

I dont have the vista roof. My wife wanted one but sunroofs/panoramic roofs arent that popular in Hawaii cause the rain is so unpredictable

unless your Edge is in Europe/China, you don't have fog lights

Some Hi Res photos and a render of the front.

It's wrapped in 3m dragon fire red vinyl. Thats a render uptop. Just finished wrapping that part today

I had all the plastic backside wheel pieces off. I looked on youtube with no luck.

From what everything says online. Putting aync3 into a MFT care is a nightmare but if your pockets are deep. More power to you

It's fairly easy, pull door sills out. Unhook harness, Bend tabs out. Push down on opening where harness slides through to seperate the metal "Edge" piece from plastic trim. The be careful part is removing the light source from under the sill. Slow and steady wins that race and dont use anything sharpe.

Started too but can't seem to get it off all the way. I can unhook the top part of the cover but there are 2 other clips I cant get too.

some update photos, my leave is over so now I'm just doing little things. This weekend the door panels will come off. inside panel of the door handle had to unglue the lighted door sills

try unhooking the battery and plug it back in. seems to solve a lot of sync issues

better and cheaper to just install an aftermarket radio. Even one droid based that can hook up to a hotspot with screen mirroring...etc.

loss of traction on wet roads can cause you to spin more than just the power wheel though.
