Just received the same kit that Brewcity posted. 100% plug and play. I have not drove it yet with them but did take a couple pics to share. It was raining while I did this so I did not get any other pics with both installed. I will share more after I drive it.

Not about to go back through 400+ posts, so I'll ask.
You guys that replaced your fogs with the Lifetime LEDs, how did you aim the bulbs? The same way as with the heads? I was thinking turning them slightly towards the inside, to maybe get a little more sidelight out of them.

I've installed the Lifetime Leds for the headlights and would like to get a cheaper set for the fogs that will match. Could I get the details of your putco fog leds that you say match the headlights? Or any other ones as long as they match, thanks.

Well, my LED lights came earlier than expected! I replaced both the headlights and side markers. Here are links to both the headlights and side markers I bought: Video Link: http://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-Extremely-Bright-Brightest/dp/B00JIHC36K/ref=sr_1_27?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1448142999&sr =1-27&keywords=194+led+bulb Video Link: http://www.amazon.com/PartsSquare-LED-Headlight-Conversion-Kit/dp/B00X74YM3C/ref=sr_1_8?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1448143070&sr= 1-8&keywords=h13+led+headlight+bulbs The side markers are insanely bright! I believe they are 200 lumen a piece. The jury is still out on the headlights. They appear to be really bright and the cutoff looks very clean, but it's not dark yet so I'll have to test them in a bit. Very easy plug and play install. So far so good. I'll report back with night pics. Before with stock halogens and side markers. After with LED headlights and amber side markers. H13 headlights and amber 194 side markers

Well I managed to get out for a drive last night and judging from the pattern on the garage I did not adjust but after the drive I feel they need to come down a bit. I did not get flashed at all but it seemed that pattern was really high. Not a great drive to base an opinion on but I will adjust and spend a little more time on the road with them and report back. I like the color and they do seem brighter and definitely cleaner than the stockers. The truck has been leveled and on 34.5s so that does play a part.

Installed these on my fiance's 2012 Edge. The passenger side went in fine but the driver side bulb somehow got stuck and it took me forever to get it unstuck. One of the plastic tabs that locks the bulb in place somehow became lodged. Took lots of wiggling, a mirror (to see how the hell it got stuck) and patience but we got it. I believe you can adjust the beam but I need to consult the owners manual. We both like it but I think I need to tweak it a bit. Here are a few pics.

Made a road trip this weekend from Chicago to Knoxville and back. The lifetime LEDs from Steve and Jeff were amazing through the mountains. Never got high beamed from anyone. Towed a 6x12 enclosed trailer back, raining pretty heavy on the way back and was able to see the roads/lanes/signs way better than with the halogen bulbs.
If you're debating on buying them, get them now.
