candurin Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 20 pack? Did you grab 4 out of the case and re-gift? Glad Dan was able to help. I didn't realize your are in the KC area. They look great in the pic. I won't say I told you so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari Kalendarov Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Just ordered my Morimotos today, I have the Led puddle lights coming from daytime bright lites as well. I was looking at my 2013 SHO tonight and noticed the LED lights are much brighter on it than the Edge. How much did you pay for these lights? How do they look?

kc300c Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks for reminding me about the case of beer Mike. I just found it on the shelf in my garage where I left it. My wife put a big pack of paper towels in front of it. She must be hiding to give to the pool boy ;-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Been on a different vendor than either since I have been here. My first gen's HIDs were 6k/35w. Ultimately, I had to get the Canbus ballasts for my high beams (stock ballasts kept going south) and then moved those over to my 2011 since it came with DRLs. Now, I am running 5k/35w but, after driving in some of the darker parts of AZ, I am looking at changing things up again. Next up: D2S FX-R projector and Morimoto 5000k/35w.

Steven Light Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hey all, I'm really considering getting a kit from TRS. Money's not really an issue and I like what everyone has said about the kit. I just want the most durable set I can get. Looking at the site, they have the 9012 bulb kit...I'm guessing back in February that was not the case which is why the 9006 was recommended? Anything wrong with getting the 9012? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Nope. That's just a new bulb size they added. 9012 "should" be the best fit for HIR bulbs (edge oem). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msl558 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi guys... just installed my 9006 6000K H.I.D kit today. It looks great! Do I need to adjust the width of the lights? I also upgraded the interior lights as well. Just waiting for my map lights to come.. here's some pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgb21 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) 2011 Ford Edge 4WD SEL Hi I have just fitted some DDM HIDs and wiring harness and Im really pleased with the results. Thanks to all the many posts on here and the YouTube video by Dan Smith it was a relatively easy job. I thought I add some tips to help anyone else who is considering this easy job: 1. I went for 35w 4500k These still have a slight blue hue to them and the light is so much better for driving. 2. I ordered from the DDM website the above bulbs, ballasts, wiring harness (dual in dual out), 9006 bulbs, the mounting brackets are a waste of time and you dont need the error eliminator or the adaptor cables. If in doubt call them first. 3. Before you kit arrives get familiar with the OEM bulbs 9012/HIR2 Getting them in and out was quite difficult. You will definitely need an inspection mirror. $3.50 from ebay or squeeze a shaving mirror in there. Use a torch and see how the tabs lock into place. I ended up filing some of the tabs to make them fit easier. Be careful as they file down very easily, go slow and a bit at a time. 4. Many have not used a wiring harness, but its very easy to fit and may preserve your cars harness one day! To fit: start at the battery terminals, the one with the inline fuse is the + Feed the cable around to each light. Follow the cars OEM wiring path and at the end of job, cable tie into place. 5. Mount the ballasts to the side of the headlight housing. There are two pips in the center of the space which makes it a pain, so you need to bridge these. I used some extreme sticky backed Velcro from Home Depot. Cut two strips and stick in place above and below the pips on the housing, this appeared to bridge the pips ok. I managed to use so plumbers strapping tape over one ballast just as a safety precaution but couldnt get the lower screw in on the other side, so left it. I'll keep an eye on it. The cables wont let it go too far. 6. Connecting the wiring plugs is almost fool proof, just look out for the locking tabs so they mate properly on the larger connectors to ensure correct polarity. Take your time. Lay out the whole thing on the garage floor - harness and bulbs before you start if in doubt to see how it all connects. 7. Drill the back covers as per the video and fit the grommet in place. The 9006 bulbs fitted quite easily with no filing required. I was concerned about this after all the reading I'd done. I used the middle size rubber gasket supplied. You need to get the long return wire which is the white strip that runs along against the bulb glass at the bottom of the headlight housing when fitted. Strangely I managed this on one side but it ended up being about 90 degs off on the other side? The light pattern still looks ok. Take your time, use the mirror. I did it outside on a bright day and a torch with warm hands! Be sure all the tabs are in place. 8. Bulb alignment there is an adjustment for up and down only at the back of the housing. Its an allen key fitting. The manual says you cannot adjust the width (unless others know more) You can do all the measuring etc, but what matters is how it looks on the road, so I just did this: My OEMs were off anyway, so I needed to adjust them. Firstly I made sure both lights were the same level by shining on a garage door at night. Then a couple of trips around the block told me they both needed to come down a touch and that was it. You can then follow someone you know in the dark and see if they blind their mirrors. Also do a passing in opposite directions to check if the lights are blinding. For less than 70 bucks incl capacitors the improvement is amazing! If anyone has any questions you can reach me at badgb21 at Hotmail dot com Im no mechanic but Id be pleased to help if I can! Edit - One of my lights didn't fire up if starting from auto position on the light switch. I can solve it by turning the switch to off, then switch them on again. I fitted some capacitors from http://www.hidextra.com/capacitor/ very good service and seems to have solved problem. DDM were disappointing on the follow up with this problem. I would go to hid extra for all components if starting again today. Kev Edited December 13, 2013 by badgb21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgb21 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I wouldn't disagree Candurin sounds good logic. Shame Ford don't mention it in the manual or on their video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t16PaSm9Nb4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRROMMOTORSPORTS Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I've used DDM Tuning 55w HID's on all my vehicles and bikes for years now without any problems... Actually I had one ballast stop working though they replaced it free of charge. Their warrantee is great and they've always taken care of me with any questions, concerns etc... They only down fall I'd say to them is there shipping is slow. If you can wait out the 10 day or so shipping time, you'll love them.. Don't let their cheaper than their competitor prices differ you.

david30 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Question, anyone ever have problems with the morimoto kits not acting correctly with the remote start functions? If so, how was it resolved? I might add that I have to cut the lights from auto and then turn them back on.
