Sam I Am Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 When buying an Aftermarket HID kit should it be a Bi-Xenon kit or not? I heard that the projectors on the Edges already have a shutter in them for the Hi/Lo beam. Is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 You don't need bi-xenon; most of the people that have installed kits went with 9006 bulbs since most vendors don't seem to carry 9012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Edge does have a shutter in it already to redirect the light for the high beam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yes. Dingo, you seem to be very knowledgable about the Sport Models. Would happen to know a company that does a flash tune for the 2012 Sport. Would like to remove the limiter for the top speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has a tune out yet for the 2011 and up models due to changes in the PCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Sam, just posted my HID install video and there's a clip in it where you can hear the shutter opening and closing when the brights are turned on/off and can kind of catch the fast motion of the shutter's shadow as it goes up and down. Here's the link: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/9216-hid-kit-retrofit-conversion-installation-video/ Loved the install, just wanted to let you know there is no difference with the lumens from a 55w or 35w kit, it's the the Kelvin that is the key the lower the Kelvin the brighter the light output. How did you mount your ballasts? Did you have to strap them or did they come with ballast mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I like using the 35w kits because I usually have speakers that require amps, so the less watts the lights use the amps get that extra juice. Using LED all around the car also helps a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
