I just bought a 2014 Edge SEL, its a great SUV but lights the are DIM!! like your cousin who eats paint DIM!! i could not find a video to lign up the lights and adjust them properly, and then yours just popped up on my timeline! great video. Thank you, now i dont have to pay ford $400+
I just bought a 2014 Edge Sport December 2022 and everything runs very good...the info you shared on the LED installation was very precise and clear...is why i just subscribed...Thank you and look forward to more info on the links here ...PS: These Edge Sports are very nice even if Pre-owned 🙂 👌
This is great! It cost me over $300 at the dealer to get my headlights replaced 😵💫 Thank you for showing me that I can do it myself! I’m very happy to get some LED lights as well.
I assume for the lights & labor? If that's labor only, that's INSANE! This shouldn't cost more than $40 install / labor. Informative vid, but these LED's are not very bright at all. Hard pass on this brand!
Thank you for demonstrating how simple it is to accomplish. LASFIT 2022 New 9012 HIR2 LED Bulbs 6000K White, plug and play, and easy to adjust from Amz! Perfect for my MKX 2013 (going on 4 months now.)
Awesome video, I have a 2013 Ford Taurus, used 9012 LED's and they did the job perfect, they are in the same housing as the ford edge! Appreciate the help!
Any concern with the heat from the led inside the headlight housing? I'm about replace mine and am curious if it'd be beneficial to drill a couple holes in the cap?
I just bought these for my 2013 edge! I purchased the ones from your link. Thanks! Just to make sure, the bulbs come with the connector and I don't have to purchase anything else for these to work? I've never had LED headlights before. Thanks again for your video!
These bulbs may get hot.... can you put the cover back on the enclosure ? Wouldn't the fan require leaving the cover off ? The cover protects from moisture though so not sure how it all works out ?
@@6thGearGarage you're simply circulating hot air though with the covers on tho...although, I'm not sure I would leave the covers off & run the risk of moisture in my housing. Might depend on where you live and how often you drive in the rain / snow, etc.
We don't have this vehicle any more, but they worked great until the engine went. I took the bulbs out and saved them in case I ever have another vehicle that can use them .
these are OK bulbs if you're on a budget. They will be better than stock, but not much better about a year later. I ran these for about 16 months and they were pretty good for the 1st 6 - 8 months. There are much better bulbs out there between $50-$80. Unless this is all you care to spend, I'd pass on these!
Nice video. Did you notice any flickering or warning light on the dash. I want to make the changeover to LEDs. Just wanted to know if I would have to install warning cancellars/ resistors.
Can someone with a ford edge 2013-2014 tell me if your car use headlight bulbs with the 9012 code or the 9006 , i just want to know if my bulbs are original form the dealer o someone changed them before i bought it , thanks
According to other videos they dont put the dust cover back on or they put holes on it because led lights get hot and it affects the output of the light.. you put it back on is it ok? Will it not be too hot with the cover? Thanks...
@@6thGearGarage yes everything is the same, the thing is when I bought the SUV it came with some aftermarket xenon light and they really suck, hope you could tell if this LED look good under rain or snow?
So what aim I doing wrong I have 2011 MKX and my plug in plug on my headlight does not look like the one your showing in the video. It's much smaller and a light blue in color. Any help will be much appreciated.
I have the same 2011 Edge, and my halogen projectors come on with the DRL. Have you noticed any issues with this? Are the LED's crazy bright when running as DRL?
I have not had any issues with DRL, as I never used them or the vehicle didn't have them. I don't think the LED's would cause a problem being used as DRL's.
@@6thGearGarage I thought daytime running lights were standard, they just make the projector headlights come on at a slightly dimmer level during the day. Anyway, I ordered and installed the exact same LED's on my Edge about a week ago, and can confirm that the DRL's work correctly, with no flickering or any other issues. If I were to do it again, I'd probably look for some that have 4 LED's instead of 2. The projector housing was made for 360 degrees of light, and the dual LED has a blind spot parallel to the plane of the aluminum mount. That's why they need to be rotated, the light drops off in these areas. It's still much better than the halogens. Thanks for your video!
Do people flash you? Or did you need to adjust the bulbs down? I have had to adjust my LED retrofits down so as to not annoy other oncoming drivers with different manufacturers bulbs.
Hi there, i'm from Switzerland and i like to order such Bulbs. Can you please send me the exact product details, product number, etc. so that I can order them? Maybe you also have a link directly? Thank you and best regards
@@mikerock8177 thanks I took the wire (plug into the balast) connected it and the led wire using an easy connector and didn't get power. Unless I used the wrong 2 wires from the balast (has a black, teal, and brown wire). The led wire was only + and - (black and red)
Hey, can you tell me if the stock HID bulbs are twist / lock to remove and install them ? I can't find any good info for our model years ( I have 2014 ). Thanks 👍🏻
does anyone want to talk about how bad the edge headlights suck mainly for driving down dark country roads? i tried LED and i went back with the best sylvania halogens because while the LED may be brighter in terms of lumens and color temp, the halogens were better focused. i guess its the way led light disperses or something but no matter what bulb you use the headlights suck bad just look back when you turned your brights on, i could hardly tell, if the video had been muted and i had to guess i would have thought you didnt even turn them on. i have adjusted the headlights up and down on a dark road at night and got them out as far as they could reach, there is no side to side adjustments for those who are asking. there has got to be a way to make these headlights not really so much brighter but get further down the road and yeah maybe brighter to. my 03 explorer low beams outshines the edges high beams by a country mile.
@@6thGearGarage if you know of any mods or something to make these lights better please share, thanks for the video upload and best of luck to you if you still own that car.
@@davidkanoff110 I think some had an option for Xenon/HID headlamps. Perhaps they could be retrofitted? Although I've never compared the output difference, so it may not be worth it. At 180k mi, The water pump went out while driving on the highway, so I parted out our ford edge.
@@6thGearGarage I replaced the water pump on mine at 260k and it went out again a year later and had to change it again. Yes I did the work myself, it's a pain, that's why they charge so much for such a cheap part.
Question: How did you secure the bulb position once you adjusted it properly? I mean, can't the bulb still rotate, if you don't do anything? Cars vibrate a lot while driving. Also, I see 9005 + H11 as the recommended bulb for the 2011 Ford Edge. Is that the same as the 9012?
The position stays put and hasn't moved from vibrations so far. I suppose there's enough tension to keep it from rotating on its own. I know there are HID headlights available for the Edge that use a different bulb, but as far as I know, the halogens for this generation of Edge are a 9012 bulb. You may want to check Lasfit's website before buying.
The 9005 and 9006 are very similar to the 9012 and can be used. The pegs for securing it in the housing are a little different and will work. If you are having trouble you can cut some plasic off the bulb base. The plugs are the same. No adapter needed.
Man I just tried installing my bulbs. One bulb worked for my passenger side but the other didn’t work for my D/S. So I switched them out and neither one came on. So obviously there is something going on with my D/S as well as a dead bulb. All in all a complete bummer! Only one bulb works and only on the P/S. 😒
I just took them to the UPS store to return earlier today and already got my refund. Maybe I’ll try ordering them again. I just thought maybe there was a compatibility issue with the D/S and an LED bulb.
I have not considered upgrading the vertical fog lights on this model. They don't really put out as much light as a traditional fog light, probably because they're so thin. I'll have to see if there's a way to make them brighter with a different bulb.
6th Gear Garage awesome thanks! Most of the aftermarket one out there do not offer extra projection. It would be awesome if there was a plug and play option for seeing around corners on dark streets.

Any concern with the heat from the led inside the headlight housing?
I'm about replace mine and am curious if it'd be beneficial to drill a couple holes in the cap?
No concern at all. Actually, these led bulbs make a lot less heat than the oem halogen bulbs did.
maybe cover getting the clips on the bulb to release. I got it but some may need it
Best video for this job.
Wow, thanks
Will these bulbs work in a vehicle that has daytime running lights? Thank you.
I don't know for sure, as I haven't tried. You may want to contact Lasfit or check on their website to be sure.
Nicely done, thanks
Thank you for doing the driver side! I too dropped my dust cap but my hands were too fat to get the bulb out? Do I need to drop the bumper to do this?
The bumper is flexible enough that maybe you can bend the bottom down a little to get your hand in? It’s a bit of work
to remove the bumper.

Yes they do, they are plug and play, nothing else is needed.

Oo bro i wish i saw this earlier..i just replaced those with sylvania silverstar ultras
How do you like the sylvania silverstar ultras compared to the original bulbs?
@@6thGearGarage they are brighter and have more light then oem.. but not that white as i wanted
These bulbs may get hot.... can you put the cover back on the enclosure ? Wouldn't the fan require leaving the cover off ? The cover protects from moisture though so not sure how it all works out ?
I don't believe LED Bulbs get hot like Halogen bulbs do. I think the fan is enough to keep them cool within the enclosure with the cover.

To be honest I don't remember and this vehicle isn't here anymore. Parking in front of a garage door is the best way to fine tune the adjustment.
Nice video. Did you notice any flickering or warning light on the dash. I want to make the changeover to LEDs. Just wanted to know if I would have to install warning cancellars/ resistors.
There is no flickering or warning lights on the dash. These are a true plug and play bulb for the Edge.

Would these headlights work on a 2011 explorer??
Pebble the Testicle im. It sure but if you go to lasfit’s website, they tell you which bulbs fit your vehicle.
Hey my friend got a quick question how do you adjust the headlights left to right on a edge 2013?
I don't think they are adjustable left to right, only up and down.
I purchased a set with the capacitors. Would this cause the lights to not be as bright? Do you need capacitors for the edge?
I did not need the capacitors. I've seen some that came with noise filters but I did not need those either.
@@6thGearGarage ty for responding.
What about the key? what is the position of the notches
The light installs all the way in the notches like a normal bulb
According to other videos they dont put the dust cover back on or they put holes on it because led lights get hot and it affects the output of the light.. you put it back on is it ok? Will it not be too hot with the cover? Thanks...
manoy Q led bulbs produce less heat than halogen bulbs. I haven’t experienced any issues so far. 👍

What stops the led bulbs from turning after you adjust them. Others have a Allen screw to lock in position
There seems to be enough tension to keep it from rotating on its own. I've had these for a couple of months so far with no problems.
