  1. I think I'd buy a Mondeo Wagon that looks as good as this, in Ruby Red.
  2. The outer light stays on continuously and doesn't change brightness, the inner acts just like a stock SE.
  3. The next time I'm in for service I'll ask. I did inquire about getting the courtesy lane change flash from three to at least six flashes. The dealer did hook up the computer and looked for the parameter, they found it but it was locked at 3 and couldn't be changed.
  4. I have done the SE to Ti swap and the effect is not the same. The outer light and the inner light on at the same time. I like this look, as it makes it a more customized look. Other people on this forum who have installed Ti lights on an SE, have tried to swap pins on the SE to make the Ti light appear work correctly, but to no avail. It probably has more to do with programming than swapping pins.
  5. I just Googled it,...KPR%10, maybe it will work.
  6. I took pictures with just the dome lights on in the garage just to show how diffused the reflection is. Maybe if someone could post a before picture, with the dome lights on, then we could get a better idea. I haven't cleaned the screen in, I can't remember when. I looked carefully and didn't see any finger prints on the screen. The Triple A just doesn't collect prints the way a stock unprotected screen does. It really bothers me to use a touch screen computer because of the finger prints showing. With the experience of using a NuShield on my FFH, MFT screen, I'll definitely get a NuShield for any computer with a touch screen. Just for reference, I use a iPhone 5 for pictures.
  7. http://www.nushield.com/order_now.php I got really tired of the finger prints on the MFT screen. I found this NuShield screen protector. I ordered the Triple A and haven't been disappointed. Where wiping the fingerprints was a several time a day occurrence it's become once every two weeks...maybe. Order the Klear Screen wipes along with the order. Make sure you get all the dust in the corners before applying the screen protector. I got real lucky and didn't get any dust under the screen on the first try. Using the NuShield pretty much eliminated having to use any daily cleaning methods.
  8. This is what the Ti tail light looks like when mounted on an SE. The lit inner light is only the driving light, not the brake light which is much brighter. On the Ti, only the outer ring is lit at night and then the inner when braking. I'm posting the picture two ways as I'm having trouble posting with Photobucket or BOF. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/gkinla/f827840a63fd689d7b97807d1ea5bbfc.jpg
  9. It's very hard to tell the difference in the daylight. Only lit at night will show the difference.
  10. I'll try it from scratch again, I always use PhotoBucket, I've posted many times before... I've posted many times using Photobucket...I'm having issues with Photobucket, I'll figure it out tomorrow. Maybe I got it.
  11. Take another look, I hope I fixed the picture.
  12. During the daytime there is no difference. This is a picture of the Ti lights on a SE. The inner light works the same during the night as the SE. The outer ring light is on at night. Here are the correct part numbers for the Ti, with list pricing. I talked my dealers parts dept into a 20% discount off the $1320.40 list price. DS7Z-13405-B $228.15 DS7Z-13404-B $228.15 DS7Z-13404-D $423.87 DS7Z-13405-D $440.23 Total $1320.40 It was a easy swap less than 1 hour total.
  13. Added hood struts this weekend. No more prop rod to deal with. They work great.
  14. I had the Ambient Lighting installed today. Only four LEDs come with the kit. I had the small LEDs put in the rear console, in the same place as the Fusion Ti comes installed, lighting the rear footwells. The SA came out to me and asked where I would like the small lights installed. Evidently you can have them installed where ever you want as long as the wires are long enough. There is no set place in the directions, it's up to you and the Tech. The larger LEDs are in the front footwells, I did have the Ti pedals installed back in May. During the installation the SA came out to me and asked if I wanted a different switch to control the lighting. The supplied switch is a small round momentary switch that you have to drill the center console behind the cup holders to install. The Technician remembered seeing another Fusion with a dual switch on the passenger side, I have Auto Park with only one switch and a blank switch cover. The switch he remembered had the Auto Park and an "A" on it. So I said yes to the SA. No drilling and only $28.00 for the switch. It works perfectly. The "A" is perfect for Ambient Lighting. The switch part No. is, DG9Z-13D730-BA. What I'm told, from a different forum, is the switch is for a Fusion 1.6L with auto start. It works for me because of the "A". That's just a piece of insulation on the seat, I didn't notice it until I saw the picture. The cost for this install is $217.88 for the kit, it retails for $249, I got a discount. $28.67 for the switch and $90.00 for the install. So for me it the total was, $366.55 The install takes approx four hours, so the $90.00 is inexpensive. If your going to do it get it done now before Ford figures out it takes longer than one hour.
  15. I had the Ambient Lighting installed today, my pictures aren't as detailed as Charlee, but gets the point across. The lighting works the same as Charlee.

  16. I'm very happy to have been of some help. Happy that you were able to reattach, I hope it stays that way..
  17. These what I would call bellows are attached to the bottom of the sunroof glass and when the sunroof is in the vent position, prevent air from spilling under the glass preventing a lot of wind noise and draft. When the sunroof is opened they slide along with the glass and you can't see them when the roof is open. Something obviously has detached and will probably take a knowing mechanic to reattach or replace. If it's in warranty take it to a dealer for repair. Probably the sliding glass needs to come off to access the attach points. On my 2013 FFH you can't see the bellows when the roof is fully open.
  18. It's been 5 weeks and 1000 miles later, I'm happy to report that the clicking noise has not returned.
  19. open bracket (small i) img close bracket, paste link, open bracket /img close bracket...don't forget the fwd slash. You almost have it...The reason I'm spelling it out it wont let me use the keys directly.
  20. open bracket, (small i) img close bracket, paste link, open bracket /img close bracket...don't forget the fwd slash, you almost have it. The reason I'm spelling it out, it won't let me type in in directly.
  21. Thanks for checking this wiring out, I know you'll get it. I use my iPad for most of my posting on these forums, when I need to add a photo from Photobucket I do this, because I can't get the editing icons on my iPad. Space down at least three times. Select and copy the direct link from Photobucket. Use the bracket symbol, don't type the words. Type(open bracket) img (close bracket) paste the Photobucket direct link here and then close with (open bracket) /img (close bracket) no space between anything. I even tried this on my desktop and it worked. I hope this helps. Use the bracket symbol, don't type the words Sample image the way I described above. Sent on my iPad.
  22. I emailed Dan at Daytime last night talking about the difficulty some of us were having with the removal of the pud lights. I got an email this morning and Dan found after visiting his local Ford dealer that the Fusions with the painted, not the black plastic mirrors, were more difficult to remove. His email talked about using another small screwdriver as shown in the above excellent video. I went out this morning and tried this and in 10 minutes had both pud lights changed. Do check the polarity by opening the door or clicking the key fob before snapping the pud lights back in. With a 50 50 chance of getting it right the first time I failed both times. For those who are interested in replacing the Puddle Lamps here is the link, now that the small problems have been solved. http://www.daytimebrightlites.com/ BTW great service, questions answered fully in a short time.
  23. Thank you for posting this technique, I've been afraid to break something.
  24. I came across the wiring diagrams for both the Ti and SE tail lights. I don't have time to checkout the wiring differences. I'm just posting to get these on the forum. If some one has the time to figure it out, here they are. Ti SE I deleted them due to proprietary info, for now.
