Selling mint set of Ford Edge LED Taillights by Daytime Brightlights. This one is their updated sport model. Also will include a set of LED Puddle lights (Under the side mirrors), used them for about a month, ended up selling the Edge. $320 CAD Local pickup only in Calgary Alberta. Canada.

i ended up just painting it back to flat black. Dark grey didn't look that good either. All that work for nothing, lol

heres a quick photoshop what it would look like dark grey, still not sure if i like dark grey or back to black

i used chrome spray paint, forgot the brand, i'll check when i get home. It looks ok, however kinda looks like tinfoil at certain angles. Im gonna repaint it tonight, trying to decide if i should do gunmetal grey or back to black, lol... hard decision.

Painted my diffuser, originally wanted to paint dark grey but tried metallic silver first. Probably will paint it dark grey this weekend

Installed new led taillights, looks amazing!!

having a hard time trying to find the right dual tips to fit. Trying to find a nice set thats 7" width and 11" depth. Im gonna go for dual circle tips, oval kinda looks too much mercedes. I prefer the bmw x5 look

Hey guys, been trying to decide on a quad exhaust setup. Im not looking to go any louder, thinking of just replacing the tips to dual tips. Anyone do this yet? looks like I'm gonna have to trim the diffuser but looks like i got enough space. Tooks a pic i found on the net, and photoshopped it, what do you guys think? I'm thinking of the first option.

I wish, unfortunately I don't have glass coverage. Whats ironic is that weeks ago before this happened, I reached out to my broker to add glass coverage onto my insurance. He deterred me away from it saying its a waste of money, he said it was like $28 additional a month. After this happened I called him up to see if my sunroof would have been covered if I had this coverage, and yes it would have been. And out of curiosity I asked him again how much the premium would be, said it was like $13 or something. I was furious. How can price drop in almost half under a month? he said it happens. Didn't realize windshield insurance fluctuated that much. Anyways yes if I had insurance I would for sure gone that route. For now im gonna just stop worrying about all the issues I had, and start really just enjoying this ford. I think its time to do some mods

unfortunately tricia was not able to look into my case, she did not have access, thank for trying though. I think there is a big gap in the ford canada for issues like this. When a customer has concerns about a dealership's workman ship and need to talk to someone about warranty issues i should be able to talk to ford canada. Obviously dealership in this case will not take ownership of the issue, and from what you guys are saying they prob did suggest to ford canada a rock caused the issue. Now where am i suppose to complain about this? Hopefully more people read this thread and get some awareness out to the public. Then maybe ford will fill this gap.

Forgot to add another thing, I was getting so frustrated with the ford Canada's manager with how she was handling the issue, I told her I should go just to the media about this and how ridiculous this is that I cant get any details on why it was denied. And the best part, she told me to go ahead, wouldn't make a difference. When ford warranty sets a decision on a claim, its set in stone. I was just so surprised by the answer, I left her go after that. I knew the conversation was going no where. That's the another reason I just stopped pursuing and paid the dealership to get it fixed. Realized that if shes representing ford Canada, and that's their attitude, I just gotta stop and just pay. No point in arguing. My father who bought a new mkx back in 2009 is now ready to buy a new suv. After hearing about what happened to me, he decided to check out other places and refuses to buy another Lincoln. Don't get me wrong he loves his MKX, but just hearing about my experience scared him off. Put it this way, even I love his mkx that I offered him to do a straight trade with mine, he refused, lol. He said if something like that happened to him, he wouldn't know what to do. Hopefully Tricia can atleast tell him why it was denied.

Hey Tricia, sent you a PM. Thanks for looking into it.

hey akirby, good to know. Dealership acted like they only sent pics and nothing else, but what your saying makes more sense.

to be honest, i lost all hope in ford canada. With what i can see Tricia probably can't help since she deals with US not canada. I don't have high hopes for ford after going thru so many issues. I didn't list everything I've have gone thru trying to fix the issues. All i can say is that i still have the some of the same issues i originally complained about but i just gave up hope. For example the passenger door handle, they tried fixing 2 times, still pushed it, i gave up on that. Trunk rattle, they never ended up fixing it first time, so i ended up fixing it myself. Rattle in rear seat, they couldn't fix, i had to take apart the seat and put padding under the mounts. Fuel pump noise, had to bring it in i think 3 times before they admitted there was an issue. I had a gas leak in the fuel tank, they wanted me to continue driving for 10 days until the new tank came in, lol. Said its only leaking little bit, that one i got so mad and ended up finally getting a loaner from them after putting complaints in. Manager doesn't even acknowledge me anymore when i go there, lol. And thru all these issues, i never got pissed or lost my temper. Always kept it calm and respectful. Worst part, i said all these things to ford canada, they didn't even care. That is what i call great service, lol. Must be very different in US, here ford customer support is almost a hotline to complain and goes no where. Regarding the sunroof. Seems to be pushed in still, maybe a bit more than before. Scared the sunroof is gonna explode again since its still pushed in. Im no sunroof export, but if the last issue was due to pressure and it was pushed in, i think it might happen again. Haven't put my kids in the back since i got the suv back. Been taking our other vehicle if we have to drive the kids. Sad part is, this is my first brand new vehicle i have ever bought, the previous cars were always certified used from BMW. What an experience. Don't get me wrong, i do love the edge alot, its an amazing looking vehicle. I just can't stand the service i get from dealership or ford canada, they all treat me like i bought some cheap used $1000 car. i will never ever spend another $50000 on a ford after my experience.

Hey guys, bought a brand new 2013 sport from the dealership. Even bought their maintenance package thinking i was gonna keep this car forever. So few months ago, i brought my car in for a usual maintenance service, i mentioned also few issues that needed to be fixed. To name a few - rattle in the roof by the middle bar under the vista roof - passenger interior door handle pushed in - rattle in trunk - fuel pump very loud - few more Anyways get a call, they need to replace the sunroof seal, i was thinking this is not even where its rattling but sure. Takes them days to get the part in. Finally get the car back, they straight out forgot to fix few issues, didn't even try to say they ran out of time, just straight out forget. And the sunroof rattle is still there, but this time my sunroof is totally not aligned when closed. So i complained to the manager who kept saying its normal. Had to go out to their lot to take pics to prove to him its not. So after complaining for a while, they finally book me in again to fix the sunroof. Get it back still not aligned. Says they need to order another seal, which is gonna take a week and they will call. 3 weeks pass by, no calls still so i call them, and surprise the parts been sitting there the whole time. Bring my car in again, and now they call me saying i need a secondary seal to be replaced. This will take another week. So month goes by this time, no calls. So i call them again, part still not in. Complain to manager. What do you know, part arrives next day. Anyways, they bring my car in again to align sunroof, this time my sunroof looks when too pushed down, as if they tighten something too much. But was better than before, didn't want them to touch it again so i left. And worst part of it all, the still didn't fix my rattle. Anyways a month goes by, i bring my car in for oil change. I pick it up and drove it right home. Hour after i take the car out to go to the gym, and on the road out of no where, BAM the sunroof explodes!. Sounded like a shotgun went off in my ear, small glass pieces go everywhere. And i look up and the whole outer edge of the sunroof was gone. No cars around when this happened. Drove right back to the dealership to complain, their team lead takes a look and says he needs to take some pics to send to ford canada to get approval for warranty. No big deal. I get a call from him next day, ford denied my warranty, i was like WHAT!!!?? I call ford canada right away, get some customer service rep who tells me i can't even complain about warranty issue, says only dealers can talk to the warranty dept. I was like, how do i complain about the dealership? i think it may be to their workmanship, they tried to fix my sunroof multiple times. Guy tells me i can't appeal my issue to them. I lose it on the guy and demanded his team lead, manager, anyone he reports to, to call me back. Couple days go by, get a call from ford canada manager. She tells me the same thing, ford canada warranty dept will not talk to customers directly. I need to talk to dealership. I was like wtf, how the hell do i tell dealership, "hey i think you screwed up on my car, can you tell warranty dept you screwed up?". So she says from what she can see, the report shows i was hit by a rock, i was like what da hell. First of all how does a rock appear out of no where, second of all, how can a rock blow out only the exterior edge of the sunroof and not leave a hole anywhere in the middle area. Luckly my kids were not in the car, if they were i wouldeve lost it even more. I ask her, how does ford sell this edge as a family safe suv, when the sunroof just explodes out of nowhere, ask her if she was me if she would put her kids in the car. She wouldn't either she says. I was like great even she thinks this car is not safe. She says more people need to complain and if enough people complain they will look into the issue and maybe do a recall. No help at all, worst service ever. So i talk to the GM at dealership, luckly GM knows my wife and myself, was willing to help out with the bill. Was gonna cost $2000, but got it down to $1400. GM and team lead really helped out though to get my car back real quick this time, very thankful. If ford atleast proved to me that a rock hit it, then i would be more understanding. But not even sending someone to review the sunroof and claiming a rock hit it from few pictures is just not good customer service. Infact, even talking to their warranty dept would've gave me some peace about this whole ordeal, but nope. Would i ever buy a ford again? HELLS No. i have never dealt with head office that would not help out a customer. I previously drove a BMW, and what a different in service from dealership all the way to head office. Not once i had to call head office to complain, dealership went out of their way to help a customer out to complain to head office. My car was even out of warranty, and they still helped out by goodwill'ing few expensive jobs. Made the choice to switch to ford thinking it was more reliable. Big mistake.

I had the same issue with mine, I bought a wiring harness, and fixed the issue. Wiring harness with relay will power the HID ballasts directly from the battery, giving clean constant power. Super easy install, and most vendor sell the harness for cheap!

TheWizard: Yes that is another way if you would like to keep parking lights, might actually be a better method However you think but cutting the bright filament line, it will cause hyperflashing?

Anyone tried the following method on the edge emblems? I don't thing it should be any different on the edge emblems. Gonna try it this week http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49568

Just finished installing my DTBL Edge 2 running lights. The factory signal light didn't look right with the edge2 signal light, so i had to find a way to delete the factory signal lights. The method is actually very easy. My car is a canadian edge with DRL changed to parking lights, however should be the same for the US folks. All i had to do was remove the parking bulb, and put a load resistor on the 2 outside positive cables. This tricked the system to think bulb was still plugged. Now my factory signals are deleted in the front, and don't have the hyperflashes even with the headlights on. Without the factory signals, it really makes the edge2 look factory. I like it a lot. Had hell of a time getting the wires into the footwell for the signals. And also when installing HID's, even for 35w ballasts, i recommend using a wiring harness. I had few times where the ballasts didn't ignite. This fixed my issue. heres the factory look heres with signal delete with signal on

Had the same issue with my rear passenger side seat. Was rattling and i can duplicate it by hitting the seat. I checked the seat mount, found that there is some space between the mount and the ground, put some foam tape to fill in the gap and totally got rid of the clicking rattle noise. Not sure if its the same issue but doesn't hurt to check

Hey guys, my friend has a set of winter wheels I am thinking about buying from him. It's off his 2012 explorer. The size is 18x8, however with a +20 offset. Do you guys think this will stick way out too much? Or should look ok?

Yeah that's where I was looking, didn't realize the dash has different settings, weird setup. You would think the Nav holds all the advanced features, and basic feature via dash. Thanks for the help! Finally disabled

i dont have that option, maybe its something I need to get the dealership to enable

Hey guys! wondering does anyone know how to turn off the easy entry/exit feature on a 2013 ford edge? as much as I love the feature, the driver seat pushes back too much on my 4 year old who sits right behind. I saw on another thread how to turn off, but looks like it was for the previous gen. Can't seem to find anything in the manual on how to turn it off.
