Hi, Maybe we can help each other. I have a 2016 Edge Titanium 2.0 awd. I agree with your opinion on the factory HID headlights. I ordered and received two HID 6000k light output bulbs ordered from Daytime Brightlites.They charged me 52.00 plus shipping and handling. I chose to remove the whole light housing which is VERY easy to remove. There are only three screws to remove and the housing lifts up with a little wiggling and it's out. I forgot to mention that the replacement bulbs have a electronic module as a unit. Maybe it's a ballast I'm not sure but it's identical to O.E.M looking. I read the manual as to how to remove the bulbs. they said to to turn the bulb unit counter clockwise and pull out. This does not work. You can feel the unit move very little. I tried pushing in while turning and then using pliers grabbing the module gently with no luck. I didn't want to apply any more pressure in fear of damage. After studying the unit closely I could see a thin metal cage that is between the bulb and the module that comes up about three eight of an inch as finger tabs. Two sides of the square module has four finger tabs,the third side has one finger tab and the forth side has two tabs. One on each side of the plug that powers the module- bulb. I'm thinking maybe i have to bend down those metal fingers so the bulb- module will turn and lift out.. I'm afraid to try this because the metal finger tabs may not bend back or break-off. This may become a warranty problem in the future if warranty on anything is needed. the vehicle only has sixteen hundred miles on it. I really would like to but these bulbs in. They are clearly marked on the module and D.O.t approved. I traded in a 2015 Explorer with factory H.I.D lighting and miss the light it had. Hope you have some ideas. zippymancan
