  2. Ok next questions are

     

    1) for a 2008 edge sel is the sensor on the valve stem or some where else. or in the actual wheel.

     

    2.) If i get the tires mounted and balanced by the website. Then go on ebay to get the FORD tpms, will I have to dismount the tires from the wheels, then remount n balance them?

  3. So im looking online at some different sites selling wheel and tire packages. They try to get you to buy 200.00 worth of tpms stuff. This sensor only tells you if your tire pressure is low, right? So do I REALLY NEED this sensor? Will it just give me an annoying light on my dash if I don't have it? Will the vehicle perform differently if I don't have it.

     

     

    main thing is if I dont NEED this sensor then I cant justify spending 200.00 on it. The wheel will still work the same as if it did not have it correct?

     

     

    Thanks in Advance!

  4. Just an update;

     

    Installed/replaced all map and dome lights to LED ones. Also the plate lights were interchange as well as reverse lights.

     

    Today I installed my HID's. 5000K 35watt low beams from a reputable ebay seller. Orangemika, i have dealt with him with all my HID installs and have had no problems. 30 bucks for 2 bulbs and ultra slim ballasts, fast shipping too.

     

    Will post pictures when it gets dark out.

     

    Thanks for looking

  5. So I decided to paint the chrome of my tail lights black, because I wanted the look of the Sport lights without paying 160.00 per light.

     

    Here is a little DIY.

     

     

    Tools Needed:

    -Flat head screw driver

    -RTV Silicone sealant

    -Oven

    -Star looking screw driver

    -Painters tape

    Okay, so I Pre heated my oven a little to high . (320 for 15 min- DO NOT DO) I would recommend 250-270 degrees and work from there.

    First I did about 15 min.....a bit too long.......so say 6-10 min to start.

     

    Obviously take the light off of the SUV. Place it on a cookie sheet, while oven is pre heating.

    Once oven is ready, stick the light in and set the timer. (10 min)

    As it cooks, get your supplies ready if you have not done so.

     

    Take light out and place it on a table or counter. (work space)....here you can turn the oven off if you want to let it cool a bit.

     

    Let the light cool for a minute so you don't start warping the hot plastic.

     

    Once its cool to the touch take flat head screw driver and start at the top. Work your way around twisting the screwdriver. You will hear some popping and cracking.

    That's just the glue separating from the light. Don't freak out.

     

    Side note: If the glue is not separating PLEASE put the light back in the oven for a couple of minutes, while the oven is cooling. Dont want to crack the plastic.

    Once the cover is off, you can now flip over the light to the back. There is three (3) star shaped screws that need to be removed.

    Unscrew them and place them in a safe place. Now take the chrome insert and start taping the areas you dont want painted. I used a utility knife to get as close as i could to the edges.

    IMG_1407-Copy_zps9e5602a8.jpg

     

     

    Now you are ready to paint.

     

    I used Plast Dip, because I like how it adheres to plastic, and can be removed if you mess up.

     

    Also I painted my lights in the basement, not the best idea if you live with other people. IE your wife : /

     

    For plasit dip i applied my first coat about 50%, just to let the paint stick to the chrome plastic.

    waited 15-20 between coats and applied second coat. This coat was about 80% coverage.

    Third and fourth were 100%.

    I would recommend at least 4 coats for good coverage.

    Silicone time:

    Once you are done painting and fixing your mess ups. Its time to take the tape off and apply the silicone.

    Im using clear silicone, there are alot of other brands and types so its really personal preference.

    Cut the top to desired bead and apply it to the edge of the actual light. not the lens. I followed the original glue pattern.

    Push clear lens and light together so they become as one.
