changing the side view mirror lights to 5 k led


Recommended Posts

Do they sell an led 5k light to replace the ones on the side view mirrors? I checked today with my mod Guy and I had no luck

 

There's no direct replacement.

 

Mod requires removing the bulb housing, and splitting it at the seam, then wiring your own festoon LED in there (some say 31mm some say 35mm), and then sealing and reinstalling.

 

There's a thread here about it. Search LED puddle lights. IIRC Lex Talonis did the thread.

 

 

I have an alternative LED chip coming in that's not a festoon. Similar to these: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED-Bulbs/Courtesy-LED/White-LED/HP-LED-6K-WHITE-MULTI-p8248501-1-3.html

 

But I ordered some from Hong Kong that might be a cheaper alternative. I am planning to post a thread once I have them in. Should be here in a week or so from HK.

Thanks for the info i changed all the interior lights to led as well as the reverse lights and plate lights. the mirrors and the led bars are the ones giving me issues to find, let me know once you put that up. thanks again

For the 2011 Edge with HID find the bulb replacement you want here : http://www.superbrig...lamps/20/470/52 including dome and courtesy lights but not a word about the side view mirror light ?..? Even my owner's manual doesn't say a word about these lights that I have on my Limited ...
