CivicSi907 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) My driver side parking light (led strip) isn‘t lighting anymore. What can I do? I have the LED tail lights from drivebright for the 2007 Ford Edge. Edited January 10, 2019 by CivicSi907 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 The kit you linked is for LED bulbs only and would not apply to your vehicle. You can't easily convert the older lights where the brakes and turn signals share the same red bulb to a newer style with separate turn signals because the turn signal switch is designed to combine the signals onto a single wire. I don't know if a newer turn signal switch will fit but that would involve additional wiring as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware that a 2007 Edge had an LED accent light. I know the later models (2011+) added them in the bumper. I have attached a photo of a 2007 front end...where are these lights located?

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Referring to the DriveBright kit, not OEM. Part of the taillight design.

That clear portion in the lens is the backup lights. There would be no way to split the turn signal from the brake lights without either rewiring with a separate turn signal wire from the turn signal switch or adding some sophisticated electronics that connected both side lamps to determine what combination of brakes and signals were in use (i.e. you could activate amber signals on one side by determining whether the power was flashing or steady but then how do you tell if the brakes are also on unless you check the other side taillight). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
