  1. Below is the IOttie on the left side of the dash. It will absolutely stick to the pebbled surface. I mounted it on the left side with an iPhone 5S and keep Waze running on my commute.
  2. That is exactly what I did, and I did not even notice it until I was looking at the pics I took. None the less I am pleased with the color and brightness. To me it looks like its is on the same scale as Dan's DRLs. That was the goal.
  3. droth33 – If you feel up to the task you will be amazed at the difference an HID upgrade makes on the Edge. As others have mentioned, the Edge already has a projector style housing which appears to be identical to the housing the Ford uses with their factory HID option. I ordered the TRS Morimoto 9012 kit with 35-watt ballasts and 5000k bulbs. In perhaps an over abundance of caution I also ordered the relay harness. I only recently noticed that they sent me 55-watt ballasts. After reading candurin’s description of the 55-watt system, I am glad that they did. In hindsight they probably thought I wanted the 55-watt system since I had sprung for the relay. I mounted the ballasts behind the headlights using the bracket that came with the kit. The relay is mounted on an existing bolt on the firewall. Cover up the wiring with some black plastic split wire loom and you will have a very clean installation. One further note about the TRS kit, even though they advertise a 9012 kit it ships with a 9006 bulb. This was not a surprise as no one makes a 9012 HID bulb. The passenger side bulb installed without a problem. I struggled with the driver’s side bulb for about 30 minutes before I finally held the HID bulb side by side with the 9012 halogen bulb and realized the slight difference in the mounting flange. 20 seconds of trimming with a Dremel tool solved the problem and the bulb installed without a hitch. If you don’t have a Dremel you could probably make due with a razor knife, just don’t cut your finger off. With the bulbs properly seated there was no aiming adjustment required. I have nice bright factory looking HID’s and no one has ever flashed at me thinking that my brights were on. Once you have this project under your belt you could spring for a pair of Dan’s DRL’s and have a transformed Edge with state of the art lights.
  4. You have to look at a Sport to find that combination. Autonation has plently in inventory! http://autonationfordkaty.net/Katy/For-Sale/New/Ford/Edge/2013-Sport-Silver-Car/19653686/
  5. Well I have been lurking here long enough and learned a great deal so I guess it is time to introduce myself. I drove over to a Ford store in late September just to look at an SVT Focus and drove home with a 2013 SEL Edge in Tuxedo Black with the 3.5 V6, SEL appearance package and Group 204A (leather and rear view camera). Shortly thereafter I found this forum and caught the mod bug, which was a surprise because I thought I had stopped that bad habit when I quit autocrossing. So anyway over the course two months I have added the goodies listed below in roughly the order of their acquisition. OEM all weather mats and cargo cover OEM rear bumper cover McGard 24198 Chrome Cone Seat Wheel Locks Daytime BrightLites DRL’s (thanks Dan) TRS Morimoto HID conversion, 35 watt, 5000K with harness Bosch Icon wiper blades CravenSpeed stubby antenna LED interior lights sourced from Amazon LED license plate lights (Sylvania 168/194/2825 Premium White LEDriving Bulb) LED puddle light conversion Auto Ventshade 322028 Smoke Aeroskin Hood Protector 3M 1080 Scotchprint vinyl wrap on the grill top chrome strip and front Ford logo surround K&N 77-2583 cold air intake The K&N was strictly for the sound with no expectation of any performance gain. The sound is nice but can be a bit loud when really getting in the throttle. I am not sure if it is staying. Surprisingly my wife really likes it. It reminds her of her former FX35. I’ll give it a month and see. So thanks to all of you for the great posts that quickly guided me on all these mods.
  6. A silver wtih the SEL Appearance Package will have a silver grill. http://autonationfordkaty.net/Katy/For-Sale/New/Ford/Edge/2013-SEL-Silver-Car/19653485/
