    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!

    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 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

    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 🍏

    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.

      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?

      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
