  1. Ok, not to beat a dead horse here, but i currently have my LED wires attached to the parking lamp wires positive and neg., respectively. Your saying connect both LED wires (positive and negative) to the parking lamps positive wire...?

  2. Bought some of the Hexis Carbon Fiber wrap from Headlight armor. Gotta tell ya, this is the best looking fake carbon fiber i have EVER seen. It's looks 99% real. Textured even! Reflects like CF too. Anyways, i was alittle intimidated about putting it on,.. didn't want to mess it up and have wasted my money. Watched a few youtube videos on it, and was even more impressed with this stuff. It really is amazing. And i LOVE CF. Heck when i was done i even wrapped my Spy sunglesses! Anyways,.. here are the pics. I am VERY pleased with the end result, and it gives the interior a freakin cool look,.... wel i think so anyways. Enjoy the pics

  3. Take your Edge to a place that does the vinyl wraps on cars for advertisement. Have them wrap the grill in what ever color you want. Then reinstall. Get a small sheet of the wrap to keep on hand. If you get any major chips in the vinyl, just cut out that area and stick on a new piece. You'd have to have your face literally inches from the grill to notice a patch job. I think the vinyl is tougher than a paint job too.

     

    Just my 2 cents worth, and thats what i did.

  4. Both wires from the LED's are spliced into both of the wires from the turn signal bulbs. I'm not sure i'm understanding you,... are you saying connect both wires from the LED to one single wire from the turn signal bulbs?

     

    -Cannon (slightly confused, sorry)

     

    I want the LED's to stay light WITH the amber turn signals,.. and blink when they do as well.

  5. So, i have a set of aftermarket (amber in color) LED lights spliced in with my parking lights (in the front). My question is, how can i make these mimic my front parking lights,.... ie: blink when the parking lights blink, like when using a turn signal, or hazards? Right now, they come on with my parking lights, but do not blink. Are just constant on. While they look cool, i thought it would look even more trick if they blink with the corresponding blinking parking light. Suggestions?

  6. Well for what it's worth, i had installed "Headlight Armors" pre-made tinted tail light films that were made for the Edge. I went with a really dark tint, about equal to limo tint (see my pics). During the day time i've been told you can barely see my tail lights (my third brake light is NOT tinted). I had a light tint on my headlights, but it killed my headlight beam so bad at night, that i have since removed it. I'd like to add that i have been pulled over twice by CHP (california highway patrol) for my tinted rears (never ticketed,.. membership has it's privileges), once even at night as he was going to pass me,.. he slowed down, did a second look then pulled me over. All-in -all, i plan to remove the tint film for exactly as everyone has stated,... safety. I do think they look cool, especially on my vehicle since my edge is "murdered" out. But i don't want to sacrifice safety, or coolness. Plus, i've said it once, and i'll say it again,.. i've got coolness over flowin' from my ears! So, having taillights that aren't tinted,.. no worries ;)

    Just my 2 cents worth.

  7. Can i add this mirror to my 2008 Edge, that didn't come with a rear view mirror that has all those options? Would i need to wire it up to the vehicle? Is that mirror only compatible with a Edge that is wired and set up for a mirror with temp, compass etc...?

    I don't want to buy the mirror then turns out i'm gonna have to spend 20 hours wiring it, and buying extra wiring harnesses to get it to work etc,.. ya know.

     

    -Thanks.

  8. Help me out here so i don't have to use the search button..... what bulb is our high beam, low beam, and fog lights. I want to do HID's. And where do you suggest i buy the sport headlights from? My little edge turned heads when it was all blacked out as well.... then i did the satin paint job,.. HOLY SHIT, it turns heads like no other vehicle i have ever owned!. And it looks bad ass even when it's dirty :P

  9. The film "wrap" is not done around here for one. Secondly, it cost more than what i paid for my paintjob... they run around 5 grand for a complete wrap i believe.

    Hey Sabtaj1,.. i check on the side mirrors... it's a no go. Turns out even if they fit, which i'm sure they do, our edges aren't wired for the blinkers and defroster in the mirrors, so it would be a waste of money. O'well.
