The oracle ones are too pricey. Almost the price of an entire headlight!

Can I use WD-40 as a lubricant instead of grease? I just thought I would get up there and spray the edges and see how it works out but I don't want to mess anything up. Mine opens and closes up perfectly but I noticed that it is slower than what it used to be since I bought the car in 2013/5. My warranty ends in about 2 months so I want to test WD-40 and see what happens (if it works out, then all the issue is with lubricating and not the motor) but if it's the motor then I need to have that replaced before my warranty ends.

I saw this first on Chrysler cars a couple of years back, and honestly, I think it's ridiculous. Why do those DRLs go off? is it so people can see the turn signals easier and brighter? It doesn't make sense to me because you can still see them easily even with the DRLs on.

Any good news? I hope that you got them installed and running perfectly

Great! good luck!

Hey man, any updates on your LED headlights? im dying to hear back from you.

Great! can't wait for your results GNERGY.

What do you guys think about the cooling design on these by XenonDepot.com? would they also require removing the dust covers? http://www.xenondepot.com/9006-LED-headlight-kit-p/9006-led-hl.htm Im more comfortable with this cooling design even if I was required to mod my dust covers, but im not sure if the cooling is as effective as they claim.

How bad could it be if there was a little to no protection? Can water/dirt get through to the projecters easily? I mean we don't get that much raining over here but i'd still like to avoid those things. Is it very bad to have a little bit of dust in there?

Hey guys, I've been eying this new 45W 6000K LED headlight by V-LEDs: http://www.vleds.com/led-headlights/9006-hb4/9006-lmz-2725.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBnpLt8djI8 I have read other posts in the forum about this new kit, but I didn't really find that much info out there so I thought new thread = more visitors & more discussions (hopefully). I have a 2013 Canadian Edge Sport model, wondering whether this new 9006 kit is all 100% plug & play? Im not that expert when it comes to modifying or changing headlights, and there isn't that much information out there about this new kit and how it performs on our Edges, so im kinda afraid of taking the first hit. Im also not sure which one to get, 3000 or 4500 lumens? I don't want it to be too bright, but I also don't want it to be less brighter than my current HIDs. I couldn't find any comparisions to decide which one suits me better. I also saw this pic on their website saying it's not compatible with headlights that comes with dust covers: Does my Edge come with that dust cover? I seem to recall seeing something like rubber dust covers so im not sure how this is going to work. Like I said before, I want a 100% plug & play kit, no trimming or anything like that otherwise i'll just stick with my current HIDs. Im also not comfortable with having fans to cool my bulbs as I will have to check on them every once in while to make sure they are running solid and not covered in dust or any other particles that might prevent them from working or failing. To anyone who owns this kit on his Edge, please share your thought and experiences as there are a lot of people out there seems to be interested in this product. I would also love to see some pics or videos if possible.

Any updates? can't wait to hear back frrom you!

I ditched the ones mentioned in this thread. I bought these instead: http://drivebright.com/home/shop/font-rear-led-bulb-pack-headlight-tail-light-turn-signal-and-reverse-lamps/ These are brighter and much better looking! the build quality isn't that great compared to the PlaZma ones, but they're still awesome.

I suggest checking out Dan's LEDs: http://drivebright.com I switched to the kit he sells (Full LED tail lights + front LED turn signals + bright xenon looking reverse LEDs) and they're working perfectly, no complaints at all! Canon T3i.

Sorry to choose my own post as "the best answer", couldn't decide which Wizard's post to choose from. I'll hopefully add a new post in the future for some infos (to sum up this whole thread into one post so new visitors/members can reach the info easily). Once again, I thank you Wizard for your continuous help on this. The LEDs are working pefrectly till this day and I couldn't be happier.

I DID IT! I finally got rid of that annoying/embarrassing hyperflashing! I can finally turn on the DRLs at daytime instead of turning them off all the time to avoid getting those damn hyperflashes. Thank you my dear sir Wizard for your help You can't imagine how happy I am. Im now finally 'completely' happy with all the mods I've done so far, especially Dan's taillights with the LED pack for the fronts & rears, which I was not completely satisfied with because of the hyperflashing that ruined the whole experience for me (I know it wasn't Dan's fault). Once again, thank you Wizard I'll be sure to post some pics and videos soon.

So one wire from the resistor goes with the black wire, but what about the second one? does it go with the center or right wire? Sorry I still have no idea which one is the turn signal power and I only get one chance with this. I don't want to do an unnecessary cuts thru the insulation.

Thank you for the info! I decided to throw away those extension wires, they didn't feel good and a safe idea in the first place. So i'll just be using the load resistor and do it the old fashioned way. Can you help me out with what connects to what? I see 2 yellow and 1 black wire, and the one in the middle seems to have a secondary color:

Hey Wizard, I hope you're doing ok. *Bump*

So the BCM was successfully replaced under warranty, and now everything is back to normal Im gonna go ahead and start tapping into the factory wire using the load resistor, can you help me out with this one Wiz? much appreciated. I want to avoid damaging the BCM again, so just to make sure, would screwing up the resistor connections be another way of damaging the BCM? Im sure my connection was fine, and no metal was touching the copper wires at that time of use. Im also sure that both the LED bulb and the sockets are the normal 3157 (non-CK). I may be wrong about the socket, you can have a look for yourself: And this is how my temporary connection looks like to test it out, not sure if there is something wrong with what I did?

According to the dealer, the BCM is not responding at all. They're gonna replace it under the warranty I have to go back in 2 days and drop the car so they can work on it. I don't know what caused the damage to the BCM? I connected the wires same as what you told me before (the blue wire on the plug was in the middle, so I connected that to the other middle wire).

I dropped the car at the dealer about 8 hours ago and explained to them that it may just be a blown fuse, or maybe reset the BCM to get it solved. I don't have any fuses laying around so I thought it would be easier to let them check it for me. So I decided when I get the car back to just go with tapping into the factory wire and get this whole thing over with...im honestly tired from all of this. I'll also be installing the Flowmaster exhaust system very soon, so no need to make a big deal out of keeping my warranty intact anymore.

After connecting the wires together (without the load resistor) and connected the wire extension to the factory socket to test it out, I had about the same problem as this guy over here after I reversed the LED plug: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/14592-turn-signal-not-working/ In my case, the turn signals do work ok on both sides, but the vertical LEDs and the parking amber lights are not working. Can I reset the BCM by myself or do I have to go to the dealer? would disconnecting the positive battery wire solve this?

Im almost giving up to the idea of tapping into the factory wire, but there is one last option to test: I'll give this extension a shot. Although the brown socket doesn't seem to fit easily in the headlight. I didn't want to push it harder to avoid breaking anything, however, I was able to insert and lock the socket into the headlight after I removed the rubber black ring, but sadly it jiggles inside a little bit, so that can't be safe. Maybe I can find a way to mount it perfectly later on, but for now I would like to concentrate on connecting and finishing my new extension to test it out. Please bear with me as im pretty bad at this..which connects to which? Here's a close shots of the wires: (let's call those wires black, red and green so I don't get confused with the secondary coloring). I wanna connect those two together before moving on to the load resistor. So which connects to which? Since I don't actually have a full & connected wire, wouldn't it be easier to throw away the splicing tabs and just connect the wires directly to the load resistor? I have no idea what im doing.

So I just received my package a couple of hours ago. The LED decoder kinda works but not the way I want it to be, i'll explain it below. I have 3 different kind of amber LEDs, one of them is what Dan at DTBL is selling and is probably made by Osram (which is the one I really like! it has rich and bright colors, but not necessary the best build quality), the other 2 are from a company called LUMEN and they come with a canbus controller built in them. - Dan's amber LED does not flash when connected to the decoder, it just lights up continuously. Maybe because it doesn't have a canbus controller like the other 2? So anyway, it doesn't work. - The other 2 LEDs with a canbus controller seem to work okay with no hyper-flashing. But unfortunately, the difference between the running light and the flashing is not noticable at all (I tested it out under a sunny day, but you can just tell it's not going to be that noticable even at night.) So...either way, the decoder isn't solving anything (at least not with the LEDs that I have).
