As the OP indicated, it's not so much the dirt that gets in there, but rather the ice, snow and salt. Keeping the area clean is a pain but not a problem in the southern climes, but is a challange when it's -20. So as indicated above, cleaning it is not the solution, but only a temporary measure, especially if you drive in the northern climes everyday..... It is an unfortunate oversight by Ford that the owners are stuck with!

2016 Edge. Has anyone yet installed a bug deflector or other protection on the front of their hood on the 2015 or newer Edge? If so, which one did you use and what are your opinions of it? Need to do something as the paint is getting chipped from sand/gravel they are putting on the roads in the winter. Almost seem like poor paint as it seems to be chipping away easier than other vehicles we have/had. TIA Rick

Yes, in Canada. So do the HID's work with the capacitors as DRL's? I wasn't sure they'd work with the lower voltage supplied for the DRL's? Can you order the capacutors as part of the kit? Thanks again

Can you provide me with a bit more info on this "upgrade"? I've been considering either HID's or LED's but being the DRL's are tied in, I've been hesitant to move forward with it... Thanks

For those of you that have done the H9 mod, how did you remove the extra "tab" in the bulb socket? Break it off, grind it with Dremel etc? TIA

When you changed out your bulbs, did you find it easier to remove the headlight assembly to get at the bulb or the other stuff surrounding the rear of the light assembly? Thanks

I too am in Canada where the H11 lowbeams are also the DRL's, but with reduced voltage. That kind of limits my choice to a halogen replacement bulb instead of HID or LED's. There's an option to convert H9 bulbs to replace the H11's that I'm thinking of trying. The H9's supposedly give a bit more light without the risk of melting the wiring etc. Anyone done this yet? Or run HID or LED's with DRL's?

Do you have the 9005 bulbs that act as DRL's? Do the HID's work ok with the reduced voltage supplied for the DRL's? Thanks.

I agree the Ford mats don't cover much, especially on the drivers side. We ordered the optional all weather ones, but they ended up being the same size as the originals, just wasted our money! And while they are expensive, ended up going with the WeatherTechs. Happy with them as they fit well and cover a lot more area, again especially on the drivers side. Are the Husky ones that much cheaper?

Are you in Canada where the H11's act as the DRL's with reduced voltage? At least I assume it's lower voltage as the lights get brighter when turned on.... Where did you get the LED's from? Thanks,

Thanks for the input, Nick. I didn't realize there were different projector lens for the LED bulbs. LED's are not an option as far as I know on the Edge, although HID's are. Hopefully someone else who's done the swap will have some more info.......

Looking for some info from anyone who has upgraded their projector halogen bulbs to either HID or LED bulbs in a 2016 Edge, particularly in Canada with the DRL's. Looking for any info you can provide, what make did you use, any special problems, any other mods you had to do to the headlight housing etc? TIA...
