  1. I have the year of the vehicle in the post, 2013. Is there a reason why you dont agree with installing them in halogen projectors or just personal preference? Ive never ordered before from ddm, I just continue to see them thrown out there, something always seemed off and I never brought myself to order anything. I know on drivebright.com they have their hid setup for $100 right now minus shipping and all that, I just cant justify spending that much on silverstars when I know the performance is significantly better from HID but I didnt have the concern of being in a projector housing before.
  2. I've had the itch for a while now to install HIDs in my 2013 and since I noticed my drivers side was out this morning on my way home from work, I figure now is the time to do so. Been searching around trying to see pros and cons about doing so in the factory housing since I purchased an SE and dont have factory HIDs. But after digging around on here and seeing some sites, I went and checked out ddmtuning and saw that now they have LED as well. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions about installing these in the factory setup over HID and any suggestions on the good, bad and all that fun stuff. I had installed an HID setup in my last vehicle and had no issues with them after install. Hoping I can repeat that and upgrade without any issues again. Thanks in advance.
  3. I agree with you totally on this. If its as simple as bending a clip back in place than that's what ill try when I have a chance to do so. Just the idea of adding something that's not supposed to go there and adding to it that it deals with electrical just scares me.
  4. I purchased some led festoon type bulb to replace mine in the rear but cant seem to get them to stay on. I never had any issues with the stock bulbs but since I made the swap when I hit a bump or anything they stop working. I checked it out the other night and when I shut the either back door they flicker almost as if it losing its connection. When I got in this morning to come home from work they were on, after driving home and having to go over a few speed bumps before parking and opening my door again, they weren't on. I leaned back and tapped on the roof a few inches in front and they came on. Im not sure if when I took the old ones out I loosened the metal clips or what but do either of you have any suggestions so they can stay on everytime i open the door? I had someone suggest using electrical tape to hold em in as well as wrapping the ends with a little bit of aluminum foil. Im against that for obvious reasons and don't want electrical tape to melt and get nasty when I replace them again later on.
  5. Finally plasti-dipped my grill after wanting to for a while now, heres the before and after. The one without was the day I bought it, so just a little over a year ago.

  7. Cant go without, was able to a few years back but now both front and rest are required. Ill just have to make sure to spray behind what I can and try to cover up what chrome I can behind.
  8. Did some research and found out that simply popping off the license plate bracket is not the case Gonna heve to try and figure out some way to still make it look good even with it left on during the whole thing.
  9. Im planning on plasti-dipping my grill on my 2013 and had a few questions for those of you that have already done it. First off, how difficult is it to take off the license plate bracket so I can just do all the grill instead of around that? and secondly how many coats did you apply when you did it? I did the edge logo on the back hatch so I'm familiar with the process and how to apply it, just don't wanna screw up on the grill since its such a large part of the vehicle....any feedback or other tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks
  10. Got a 2013 and I'm planning on doing my grill this week, as long as the weather cooperates. Any tips on best ways to clean before I start spraying? Did my edge logo on back hatch when it was pretty new with very little weathering to it, so went pretty smoothly. Liking what you did with yours, looks good keep it up
  11. Mine has been fixed, apparently I had a module that went bad somewhere in the wheel wells....or at least thats what I was told. Same thing with a module on my steering column for my blinkers, and now it has to go back because only the directional pads on the steering wheel work, no cruise control, sync voice controls or phone controls. Been a clusterf**k of a situation considering I had to argue to get a rental car since they don't give you one unless you purchased the extended service plan. Im trying to stay positive over it all since I know it will be repaired under mfg warranty and I got a rental I'm not paying for but frustration is setting in....I purchased an Edge and have been stuck driving a Fiesta for the last two weeks.
  12. Im having this same issue and they told me its a wheel sensor, Im also having my blinker not click off after I make a full turn, it just stays on, seems like something I shouldn't be having on a '13 edge with 3200 miles. Whats frustrating to me more than anything is that they want it for a few days but they won't give me a loaner vehicle.
  13. I have a 13 Edge and was getting the service advancetrac warning yesterday when I started the car up, the only other issue I have noticed is that when I use turn signals they won't automatically stop when I finish the turn and just keep blinking, the earliest I can make it into the dealer is tomorrow but with what Im reading on here I'm getting concerned that they will want to keep it for a while which leaves me with no vehicle.
  14. Im about to purchase the 55w/5000k setup from ddm and I'm wondering if i need anything else like the harness, error eliminator or adapter cables or not?
  15. Interested in price for sub only as well? I already have this amp from my system in my previous vehicle, just don't wanna set the sub on the back floorboard
