Work continues on the taillights but I have the startings of the next major project. I bought a second set of headlights to use for the retrofit. Now just need to get the projectors and a few other items.
BTW I bought these from Amazon.com and test fitted them yesterday. They fit very well and sit in as good as any OEM set. I also took the opportunity to see what the light output was, and to put it simply, they are horrible and unusable as it. As you can see in the picture, they have glare everywhere especially at an upward angle where you really don't want it. Thank goodness I wasn't planning on installing them straight from the box.
If anyone is looking for plug and play OE replacement lights, I highly recommend looking elsewhere.
Taillights are tinted and it went really well. They aren't absolutely perfect but I really liked the vinyl and it did extremely well on the bulges. Installed pics will have to wait till I pull the car out of the garage again.

I went with Morimoto D2S 4.0's. The 5.0's would have been a better option from what I know but I decided to go with a set of 4.0's and take the savings to buy a second set for doing the duels. I haven't modified them in any way. I know you can modify the shields to eliminate the step up but I'm not sure if it's something I want to do on these.
Summer tread back on. Progress slowly continues on the headlights, but that's a long run project. Also working on the second iteration of the blank grille. That one will mostly look the same but have a better mounting system and no more bondo to chip and crack.
Productive weekend with a bunch of little things. Removed the red tint from the PS rear fog light that I never hooked up, wired it up as a reverse light, tinted both aux reverse lights with 20% vinyl, moved the Ecoboost badge to a slightly better position, dechromed the window trim with black Dupli-color Custom Wrap, and did a layup of the next blank grille.
I purchased my 2015 Ford Escape Titanium in July, mint condition, but the rear liftgate made a popping noise today when closing, and the passenger's side liftgate strut came disconnected at the top and was just hanging down. It was probably hilarious to watch, while I was at the vacuums of the...
Read through the "put a bigger battery in your escape" post... some good stuff there.
a few questions... Can I reset the Battery Monitor and Battery age using Forscan or even better yet using Torque Pro on my Android phone?
anyone have any thoughts on that or a procedure?

Hello all, I in the very near future will be getting a 2016 titanium escape. I am wondering what are some stuff that you guys have done to it and rather it turned out the way you wanted to or not. I am personally looking at seeing about making it a bit louder to really hear the turbos, upgrade...
Although this isnt to terribly difficult, i though i would post a DIY just in case people didn't realize how easy it is.

I bought a 2014 Escape SE with the 2.0L escoboost from my grandmother in the middle of 2018, making me it's second owner. My plan for my escape is to convert it into an off-road camper. So far I've replaced the stock rims with black aluminum rims, plastidipped the chrome trim around the windows...
