Very helpful. Replaced mine in 15min. Cost $7 for the bulb. Ford dealership was charging $115

[@Hindsight101]

Oh wow glad this helped

[@JoseOrtiz-cp6so]

Mine just went out. Plan to knock it out this weekend. Thanks!

[@karenzworld]

Thank you! This really helped us. Getting the light out took the longest time. Stubborn! And before I could tell my husband he did use his fingers to install new light. Hope it doesn't ruin it. Also, we thought we had to remove the bolts, but you just have to loosen them. Thanks again!

[@Hindsight101]

Welcome

[@williamchapman984]

Hey man, thank you for the excellent video. My daughter's 08 Fusion fortunately did not require me to remove the gear shift. Once I took the cup holder console off, I had direct access. Thanks again.

I'm glad the video helped thanks for watching

[@StevenMoraZacarias]

What bulb did you end up using?

[@Hindsight101]

See the description of the video I have a link there

[@williamchapman984]

@@StevenMoraZacarias oh wow, I really don't remember. But I'm pretty sure I would have got it from autozone. Good luck.

[@53Poot]

Good video and you showed how simple it is. Seems more and more trim parts today have "hidden" fasteners and you'll easily break something because you didn't know. Videos like this are pretty helpful!

[@Hindsight101]

Thank for the feedback

[@53Poot]

@@Hindsight101 Your welcome however I'm having trouble finding a replacement bulb. I've checked local Ford dealers and some dealers online (they all use the same parts diagrams) and none show this bulb or location. You listed the new bulbs mfg name/part number. With that I checked Walmart, Auto Zone, Advance, O'Rellys, Amazon and so on and ALL say this bulb will not fit a 2008 Edge. I could see a couple having it wrong by application but not all and can't believe how hard this is to get. Thanks

[@Hindsight101]

I used a local parts store in my area and this is what they suggested. It worked fine in my vehicle. I did notice this bulb is sold out everywhere. Not sure why most places state the bulb isn't compatible but it did work

[@TH-1207]

Thanks for your video. I had no idea how easy this would be.

[@Hindsight101]

No problem, glad the video helped.

[@weslencorreia3255]

Helped me here in Brazil, thanks guy!

Great simplistic detailed instructions

[@Hindsight101]

Thank you

[@FilmFocus-er2mg]

Thanks for the video, just a friendly tip - adding information like what bulb was used to replace it and what size the fasteners are to remove the shift module would have been helpful.

[@Hindsight101]

Some of that is in the description of the video

That's pretty quick 😆

[@montanagalaxy22]

2723 is too big for my 2009 Ford Edge and doesn't work. Any ideas of what else to get? Bulb in the socket says TSD 7 4 on it.

[@Hindsight101]

I worked take it to a auto parts store

[@scottysimm]

Thanks Derrick of Life: Hindsight 101-I needed this info for my kid's car! The bulb you used does not require you to use a cloth to avoid skin contact?

[@Hindsight101]

Best practice you probably always should but while I was recording it slipped my mind

[@jaystewart6396]

Yo brother how fast think take out put led lights In there sizes used mark bolt same ?

[@Hindsight101]

I’m not sure what you are asking

[@jaystewart6396]

Was hard put gear shift light back together

[@Hindsight101]

Jay Stewart glad it worked out

[@Mechanic789]

2 of the instrument lights and the shifter light was out too. I ordered a pack of 12 LEDs online for $7 mind you the price for just one at the dealership is around $8 ALSO... I was able to reach into the side to remove the old bulb from the console without removing the 4 screws. All LEDs now and everything is much brighter than before. BTW, LEDs come in different colors. I stuck with the original green 🍏

[@Hindsight101]

Awesome

[@clownin4ya]

Where are the other instrument lights you talk about? WhT was the bulb # of the LEDs you got? Figured I’d snag some led on Amazon for this shifter but can’t seem to pin point the correct #

[@Hindsight101]

See in the description

Ty so much so extremely helpful

[@Hindsight101]

Thank you for the comment. Glad it helped.

Video was spot on: Used bulbs 2723

[@Hindsight101]

Thanks for watching. I appreciate the feedback

[@brianmcgonigal229]

Other video I saw said it's a 194?????

[@ladwannahoward355]

What did you use to take bolts off?

[@Hindsight101]

You can use something like this amzn.to/2DoKaNf

[@Hindsight101]

or this amzn.to/3bmPtct

[@diegoferreiradasilva1235]

I got a question do u know what kind of model this bulb it is ???😅

[@Hindsight101]

It's in the description

[@rubiancastro8806]

A la mia no le llega corriente cambie el bombillo y no me funciona

[@Hindsight101]

Not sure why

[@chrisgraham2904]

I have a 2012 Lincoln Navigator and the shifter seems to be identical to your Ford Edge. Your link for the bulb doesn't identify the correct bulb. The Ford part number for the bulb is #8L8Z-13466-A, but they are difficult to find and expensive. Can you confirm the "Sylvania Long Life" bulb that you used. I suspect it is Sylvania #2721 LL.

[@Hindsight101]

To be sure go into an auto parts store or call them

[@chrisgraham2904]

@@Hindsight101 Auto parts stores can't seem to identify them, yet bulb burn-out on this shifter lamp seems to be a common problem. What Sylvania bulb did you use???

[@Hindsight101]

SYLVANIA - 2723

[@chrisgraham2904]

I picked up the #2723 bulbs and tacked this job today. After fully disassembling, I found two holes for lamps in the area indicated just under the PRN321 indicator, but there was no wiring harness or lamp assembly installed in the holes. Checked everywhere inside the shifter assembly and inside the console and there is no wiring harness. Looks like someone has either removed the harness, or the factory failed to install one. Anyone else seen this problem?

[@kutzpogi]

can you show how to replace the handle, i have to replace mine coz the overdrive button is gone, thank you in advance

[@Hindsight101]

Sorry I no longer own that vehicle

[@ricmelyair]

I put a new bulb but still no work and do you know what happened is any fuse

[@Hindsight101]

It could be but I am not sure what fuse it would be. Are you sure you didn’t buy a bad bulb?

[@bernardnewsome806]

What type of bulb was that

[@Hindsight101]

geni.us/aVoBoWu (amazon) amzn.to/3np5mHf or amzn.to/3ECXc35 or amzn.to/31Nr7bG (alternative bulbs)

[@KeithAnderson61]

Changed bulb still did not come on. ..fuse?? How do you get the bolts to go back in? clip nuts on the bottom side won't lineup? fought to get 3 back in.. 15 minute job turned into an hour because of the clip nuts.

[@Hindsight101]

It could be the fuse but I believe that connects to other things so you would have other things that aren’t working as well if it was a fuse. Without seeing your clip issue I’m not too sure why they’re not lining up

[@KeithAnderson61]

Hindsight 101 I'm gonna check fuse's see what's in there, struggled to get the bolts to match up to the threads.. clip nut,slip on nut,see them on fenders. fortunately I have a couple longer bolts to put back in, same thread size.

[@FreedomRock44]

Keith what did you have to do with those Clip nuts......Did yours strip??????
