  1. Ok guys. New 18 edge sport owner with HIDs

     

    I posted another thread about replacement DRL led bulbs with no response yet but I have some questions about LED turns.

     

    Reading we cant do switchbacks without tapping into another wire. Dont feel like doing that yet on a brand new car.

     

    Can we do LEDs on the front turns at all? Super bright makes a dual brightness amber thatd Id be comfortable using

    Id need forscan to disable hyper flash? Thats just a simple ODBII connector and an app if I recall. Easy enough.

     

    Anyone swap DRL for LED? I use an H15 and not sure what is a compatible bulb.

    .

  2. So I just picked up a Ingot Silver 2018 Sport.

    Already wanting to replace the front signals and DRL with LED.

    On my 2010 F150, I had to do load resistors to avoid hyper flash. I believe the Edge is a CAN bus car, so the bulbs has to be CAN bus compatible no big deal.

    Has anyone swapped out the DRL halogens for LED bulbs?

    I love the way the front lights look, but the halogen DRL just cheapen the look to me.

    I see superbrightleds showing H11 is compatible, but thats technically a low bean bulb….I’m afraid that might be too much for a DRL.

     

    What’s your recommendations on LED DRL bulbs?

  3. Went to a local dealer today. They test drove my 2017 Cadillac CTS while I drove a black spanking new model will 11 miles

     

    First off, I have not bought many new cars as I keep them a long time.

     

    I looked at a loaded 2018 Black sport AWD with 401a and premium wheels

    MSRP is around 48 but internet pricing is near 41k. I was not in a position to talk numbers as i was on my lunch break. However the sheet they handed me had the 48k price tag...

     

     

     

    I emailed him stating i think my trade in is worth a few thousand more and that their internet pricing clearing states 41k. The guy simply replied tell me where I need to be. I also linked a competitors silver edge..same options..that was 2k cheaper.

     

    So I did a bit of lowballing to get room to move around.

     

    I get a reply stating We are too far apart, sorry we cant get any closer. No counter or anything... Screw that.

     

    So what am I looking at here..for a fair price?

  4. So let me ask this..I know this isn't the place for technical info..

     

     

    I love LEDs on cars...I hate when a car manufacturer does LEDs on the back and std bulbs in the front. On my truck I did a complete LED retrofit with the proper resisters to prevent rapid flashing.

     

     

    the 2018 Edge's do NOT have LED front turn signals/running light do they? I know they have LED running lamps down on the bumper...

     

    I would definitely get the 401A option added

  5. So let me give some background info.

     

     

    Had a 2010 F150 4x4 SC from 2010 to about March of this year. Loved the thing, but I need to find something to park in my garage. after some nefarious characters started repeatedly hitting our rather nice and secluded neighborhood with break ins, etc.

     

    I have two kids a 6 year (booster seat) and a 3 year old (full car seat).

     

    The truck was perfect size wise.

     

     

    I started looking around..and maybe its the midlife crisis hitting me at 41, but I got a 2017 Cadillac CTS 3.6L AWD. I love the engine in this thing.. around 335HP./280 lbs

     

     

    Now, having this car for a few months I am realizing how little it really is. and I miss having a cargo area, etc.

     

     

    I have never been one to keep a car for a few months, but I think I may have made a bad decisions getting the Caddy...live and learn.

     

    The good news is I wouldn't be upside down on the car, trading it in, I would still get a good chuck to put towards something else.

     

     

     

    I want something with a bit of power..that is equivalent to the feel of the engine in the CTS. I dont really want a boring SUV :)

     

    The Sport would fit that bill, even more so the ST.

     

     

    I am doing my research etc right now. Maybe I could get a good deal on a leftover 2018 sport? Or maybe I wait and get the ST?
