tpm419419 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hello Anyone get creative and install strobes, dash lights, etc on their Edge? I have a single dash mounted blue LED strobe that is held on to the windshield by suction cups. Thinking about putting some strobes in my tail lights. Pictures would be nice if you have them. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Here is my Edge...... I have put in strobes. Difficult job in front as you must remove entire front bumper and grill to remove headlights/markers. To install strobes w/o removing headlight assembly causes shavings to accumulate in the housing ( dont ask how I know) use a shop vac in the removed hi beam lamp hole to vacuum while drilling. Do the same in the rears ( dont ask again) Here is a link to a video... http://s230.photobucket.com/albums/ee224/c...nt=CIMG1013.flv Edited March 1, 2008 by chazman1117 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpm419419 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Now that's an installation! Very nice job indeed. How did you go about installing the LEDS on either side of the rear lic. plate? I have a 3 year lease so I don't want to get crazy. I see you are from NY, I'm on the Island myself. Thanks for the pictures and the video was great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazman1117 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) All of my electronics are located in the spare tire well. For the rear Lic plate I threaded the leads thru the rubber boot that goes from the vehicle to the rear hatch, this was a major PITA. The rear trim panels (all of them in the car, in fact) come off real easy just pull the two screws in the hand holds and they just pop off. I was then able to remove the entire back trim piece ( ford logo) that has the lights for the plate in it by unbolting 4 nuts, these are found below the rear glass in access holes. You will need an extension and a deep socket. I then threaded the wires for my lights thru the existing weep/drainage holes and attached them with 3m tape. No drilling necessary! ( I bought mine so I can go a little further, call me a whacker) Edited March 1, 2008 by chazman1117 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMiller514 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Nice installation. I especially like the hidden radio - where is your antenna? I am leaning towards corner strobes and the Whelen LED Flatlighter on the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
