I got interior bulb set on e-bay. $20. Can't remember name of manufacture but it was the only kit in white for 2010+ taurus. It also came with licence plate bulbs. Puddle lights are incredibly expensive for what they are. I can't see myself paying that much. Thanks to ford for using the same poor design for at least 15 years that I know of. Puddle lights are non servicable sealed units. I come up with a way to retrofit my own. Waiting for 31mm bulbs to arrive. Will post my retrofit project if it works. That's all I can help you with but it's a start.

There are some kits floating around EBay and the web.  Hopefully they will specifically list and cover the 2015.  You will only know if the fitment is correct once you remove the stock bulb.  Expected fittings can be viewed in the owner's guide or on Sylvania's site:

Ask Dan at DriveBright.com if he has any packages verified for the 2015.  Same question to vLEDs, SuperBrightLEDs, etc.

Check the HOW TO section also for info, you can find specs & sources inside the writeups, I believe.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Cool thank you guys for the help

Also will definitely like to see a write up on the puddle lights.

For the DRLs and puddle lights definitely go with Daytime Brightlights... Dan does an excellent job and his instructions are excellent with pictures included. And are a close match to the vLEDs and to your OEM headlights.

For the vLED Tritons for the turns 5000k is the color temp for a good match... I have a write up posted on the install for these that includes a video at the end comparing OEM to the vLEDs on my car at the same time. It's here: http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,1730.msg22650.html#msg22650

I'd recommend switchbacks for both. Here's a video of the appearance with of them (tritons and drls):  http://youtu.be/iAn2y7snktU
