Hd joe Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) As clearly superior the daytimebrightlights are.... I just can't spend that much and wait so long for them. Is there any info on adapting these.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-2013-Ford-Edge-OEM-front-bumper-lights-turn-signal-/200886590413 with the sellers connectors to the oem harnesses? Or maybe to the fuse panel, headlight switch, or ignition switch? I'm very good at wiring... Did a complete harness for my 93 mustang project a while back.. I just don't know squat about the new edge electronics. I have a 3 day old edge se that I bought for my wife. It does not have harnesses tucked behind the plastic caps that I can see.. Thanks for any info Edited June 12, 2013 by Hd joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 While there are cheaper options, none are near as good quality, output, or build. Besides, customer service is incredible, and you can't ever feel bad about supporting a local (to the forum) small business. I notice the difference every time my doors close at night. My ebay map lights are quite inferior to my DTBL in my dome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hd joe Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks wannabang. Yea I know dtbl are much better quality than other brands of led style lights but those I posted are OEM ford. To be honest, my wife is the primary driver of the edge and she likes the stock look of ones posted... The seller emailed me back last night explaining how to wire in the ones he's selling to the headlight. They won't be DRL, but that's ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm not a huge fan of DTR... but I have expensive aftermarket batteries and a substage so I'm more concerned about making the batts last as long as possible. If the wife's happy, that's what matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm confused... how would LED DRLs (Daytime Running Lights - I've never seen them called DTR before) affect your batteries? They're only on when the ignition is on (alternator is supplying power rather than the battery) and the current draw is so small (milliamps) that they should have no impact at all on batteries. I have replaced the front and rear turn signal bulbs with LEDs so that they can be strobed and the strobes can be run for hours (literally) with the engine off without causing any significant drain on the battery. Or are we not talking about the main battery in the engine compartment? Something special for your audio upgrades perhaps? I'm always curious about those kinds of modifications.

Feirstein Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 DRL's would not have any impact on battery life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
