  1. My bumper on my 2014 Edge was badly chipped and scratched so I took it off and had it repainted. Whiling it was at the paint shop I sanded and painted the chrome parts to match the black on the vehicle and as I had some PIAA driving lights looking for a home I found a great spot to place them. Using a hole saw I cut two holes in the low grill as seen. I mounted a piece of aluminum angle by  glueing it to back side with epoxy designed for plastics. Using a relay, I taped off the high beams so they come on with them but I may retire the to be on all the time as they complement the switch back running lights nicely.

     
    I have the 12” Phoenix radio which allows for a front camera so I purchased a license plate camera to add on . This works great for parking haven’t a clear view now allowing me to pull up tight in parking lots.

     

    i also put a bug deflector across the hood that hides all the chips up there. I have a new Ford oval coming with a black background to complete the look. The head lights are upgraded to 6500 K HIDs and all others are LED. I just got my LED bulbs to put into the PIAAs so they will match the color of every thing else.

     

    i was very impressed with the results, since the windows are tinted dark it makes the SUV look like something like the FBI might use, LOL.

  2. Every vehicular I have owned has terrible headlights except my BMW which has HID’S, it is amazing how  manufacturers still sell old technology especially in light of how better lighting is so inexpensive now. I have up graded all my vehicles to after market HID including my 2014ford edge.and they are 10 times better.  
     

    I can’t remember which manufacturer I bought from but I discover that the.bulbs could be installed in the wrong position. I finally took the bumper cover off and removed the head lights out to ensure I got it right.

  3. Have you ever forgotten to use your turn signal, accidentally gone faster than the speed limit, ran a a stop sign, hit another car, played your radio too loud, had a burned out head light, received a parking ticket, used a cell phone while driving, forgotten to buckle your seat belt, driven with a cracked windshield, eat or drink while driving?0
