  1. If you want one ThinLine, I have one I'll give you if you pay shipping on the piece of crap.
  2. A couple of weeks ago, I had a dead battery for no apparent reason. It had enough juice for the lights (dim) but all the starter would do is click. I put a charger on it over night and have not had a problem since. I never knew what caused it.
  3. I have'nt seen any lately, but back in the 80's I had many motorcycle parts "black" chromed. It seems to me if you were interested in a black grill, this might be a good option. I have'nt had any chrome work done in a while, so I don't know what the cost might be. One advantage is that you would'nt have to worry about stone chips in the paint.
  4. We had a burning smell for nearly a thousand miles and then it just gradually faded out. It turned out to just be the new burning off. Best of luck with yours, we love ours.
  5. I have them only in my brights, havent had any experience with HIDs but the Silverstars are much whiter and a little brighter than the stock bulbs. I like them.
  6. I have an 09 built 04/09 and it takes the 500. I really thought it was an 09 thing,but I guess not if you have one on an 08. The first time I changed the oil, I checked the owners manual for the filter requirement, it said FL 400 S. I went and bought it and the oil, got the car on the rack, drained the oil, removed the filter {which had no number on it}, primed the new filter, tried to screw it on and--well you can guess the rest of the story. It would have been nice if the owners manual could have been edited to show this change.
  7. Thank you. Lots of good choices there.
  8. Does anyone know where to find info on which phones match up best with SYNC?
  9. Where would I find information on which phone brand/model would best match up to my SYNC? Thanks for any help you might suggest.
  10. Welcome, hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
  11. The ones I used produced maybe slightly if any less light than the originals, however the ones you found look as though they have more LEDs and would probably be better.
  12. I got them from superbrightleds.com. Part # 3157-W18-T. The price was $17.95 ea. with shipping the total was $45. If I had it to do all over, I'd buy the red bulbs [3157-R18-T] the white bulbs make for a slightly pinkish-orange tint. As for the directionals, the only issue is that they flash faster than normal due to the reduced load on the circuit.
  13. I went ahead and put the LEDs in mine, but I'm still going to take it back to get the burnt sockets replaced. By the way, legal or not, the LEDs work great.
  14. Let us know how you come out. I'm curious as to what I'll be told when I take mine back.
  15. Does any one know how to get wax off of the plastic body panels on the sides of the Edge? I know, I know you're not supposed to get wax on them but I slipped a couple of times and now can't find anything to get it off.
  16. Thanks for the reply and the advice, guess I did'nt think about the legal aspects. I called my dealer service dept. about the problem and was told there was no upgrade for the sockets. I assumed they would just replace them with the same thing and I would have the problem again. Being a die hard DIYer, I thought I could solve the problem myself with the LED's.
  17. After reading about so many having tail light problems, I thought I'd better check mine. With only 10000 miles on my 09, the sockets were already cooked. I've got LED bulbs on order, thought less heat and less electrical load might solve the problem.
  18. 09 LTD FWD 10000 miles -- 21.8 mpg every day driving that includes a 24 mile one way commute with some in-town. 28.5 mpg highway. I have read that the computer is a bit optomistic but if it is as much as 2 mpg off, I'm still happy.
