Initially I was running the relay configuration, however I'm now running the ballasts directly off of the factory feed through the bulbs. When I was running the relay and I had my lights set to Auto mode I would hear a loud buzzing (which I think was coming from the driver side ballast) whenever the lights turned to daytime mode. This did not happen when the lights were running in "night time" mode or on. After removing the relay and running the ballasts directly from the factory feed the buzzing issue is gone. Now in Auto mode when my lights go to "day time" mode my fog lights are activated, the headlights are off and there's no buzzing from the ballasts. So basically with the relay I had issues, without it things seems stable. Since I posted my last comments the flickering seems to have stopped and the lights stay off during the day. I'm not sure how/why the flickering stopped as I didn't change anything with my setup. Thanks.

Finally got my Morimoto 5000K bulbs with 55W ballasts installed, definitely a worthwhile upgrade! I am experiencing an odd issue though. If I leave my lights in Automatic mode and start the vehicle in a dark environment the lights come on fine, if I drive to a light environment and the lights are switched to off or daytime mode my bulbs start flickering. The only way I seem to be able to avoid the flickering is to keep the lights set to off manually then turn them on manually. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it's expected behavior. Thanks!

Thanks again for the recommendation and I'm waiting for my Morimoto Elite HID kit to arrive. Two quick questions 1. Do I have to use the relay they provide or can I simply run with the ballasts connected to the factory feed? 2. Assuming I do require the the relay, where can I find the the factory trigger that will connect to the relay? Once I have these answers I should be good to go. Looking forward to doing this install. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks candurin!

Hi Everyone, Thanks for this informative thread, the information is excellent and the videos are top notch! I'm another guy who would like to upgrade headlights on my 2013 Edge SEL with factory halogen projectors. Before I proceed I just want to confirm that I only need to order ballasts and bulbs to do this upgrade. I'm thinking Morimoto 5Five Ballasts and 9006: Morimoto 3Five bulbs from The Retrofit Source. I think I've got it right but want to make sure. Thanks again.
