How to replace the brake, turn signal &
reverse bulbs in the tail light assembly of a 2007 to 2010 Ford Edge CUV.

 Rear Hatch Opened |
 Two 8mm Screws |
| This
automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners
of the first generation (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and possibly also
the revised 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014) Ford Edge CUV in replacing the
brake/parking/signal, reverse and rear sidemarker light bulbs in the
tail light assembly. Owners of other Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicles such as the Taurus, Fiesta, Fusion, Focus, Mustang, Flex, Ranger, F-150, Escape, Explorer, Expedition, MKZ, MKX, MKS, MKT, Navigator, Milan, Mariner, Mountaineer, Grand Marquis & Town Car may also find this guide to be helpful. The tail light assembly of the 2007-2010 Ford Edge contains three light bulbs with the following replacement part #'s: Brake # 3157 (or # 4157), Reverse # 921, and Rear Side Marker # 194. Only an 8mm socket with a ratcheting wrench is needed to access any of the bulbs in the tail light assembly. |

 Unscrew 8mm Screws |
 Screws Removed |
 Two 8mm Screws Removed |
| The tail light
assembly of the 07-10 Ford Edge is held in place by two 8mm screws that are
located underneath the rear cargo door or "hatch".
I found it easiest to remove the two screws using an 8mm socket with extension bar on a ratcheting wrench. |

 Pull Off Tail Light |
 Metal Spikes - Outer Edge |
 3 Light Bulb Sockets |
| With the two 8mm
screws removed, you can pull the tail light off the rear of the car.
There are two metal spikes on the outer edge of the assembly that match up with two black plastic holes on the body of the vehicle. |
||
 Clear Back Up Light |
 Reverse Bulb Socket |
 1/4 Turn Counter Clockwise |
| The first light
bulb at the top of the tail light assembly is the reverse or "back up"
light.
It has a very light grey colored plastic base that can be removed by rotating it 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pulling it straight out. Remove the bulb from the socket by pulling it out. If it won't come out easily, try wiggling it as you pull. Replace the old bulb with a new # 921 bulb. Insert the bulb back into the tail light assembly and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it. If you would like to have brighter reverse lights, install some compatible replacement 921 LED bulbs. |

 Brake/Parking/Signal |
| The bulb in the
middle of the tail light assembly is a dual filament bulb that functions as
the brake, parking and turn signal lights.
It has a dark grey plastic base that can be removed by twisting it 1/4 turn counter clockwise. |

 1/4 Turn Counter Clockwise |
 Brake Light Bulb & Socket |
| Pull out the old #
3157 bulb and replace it with a new one.
(Sylvania lists the # 4157 bulb as the correct replacement.) Insert the new bulb and socket back into the tail light and twist it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it. |

 Sylvania # 3157 Bulb |
 Rear Sidemarker |
| The lowermost bulb
in the tail light assembly located close to the outer edge is the rear side
marker bulb.
The small light bulb socket is a light grey color. Remove it by rotating the base 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pulling it straight out of the assembly. |
||
 1/4 Turn Counter Clockwise |
 Sidemarker Bulb & Socket |
 Pull Out # 194 Bulb |
| Pull the old #
194 bulb out of the socket and push in a new one.
If you would like to have brighter side marker lights, install a compatible 194 LED bulb. Insert the bulb and socket back into the tail light assembly and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it. |

 Line Up Spikes & Holes |
 Tail Light In Place |
 Attach 2 8mm Screws |
| To reattach the
tail light assembly, first line up the two metal spikes on the outer edge
with the two black holes on the body of the vehicle.
Then push the tail light flush against the rear of the vehicle and screw in the two 8mm screws. Test the new bulbs by turning on the parking lights, the hazard lights, and having someone step on the brakes and put the vehicle in reverse. |
