I have them and they are very good. No issues In two years. Although the cut off is severe and these windy back roads at night here in the mountains have me not seeing as far in front when I’m in a corner. They point straight very well which leaves the sides dark.
I feel like that’s a misleading picture, since the one on the right also has more lights on than the one on the left, so it’s hard to see what the actual difference in the headlights is. And the one on the left is not facing at the camera as much as the one on the right.The Gladiator on the right has LED bulbs in a halogen housing. The Gladiator on the left has Mopar LED lights. The Gladiator in the middle has halogen headlights.
The original Oculus have halo wired separately so mine come on with the ignition. I wouldn’t like having to change the switch for drl.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with these being Switchbacks. The white halos are also amber turns when activated.
There’s settings for dlr locations that can be changed using a Tazer JL or JScan. Mine had halogen fender lights originally, when I changed them to LED I had to change the settings get the fender lights to be drl. I’m assuming the oculus switch back lights are tapping into the fender circuitry for running lights and turn signals. I had to change the drl location to fender, I’m not sure if that can be done with the halogen fender lights
Yeah I have a Tazer installed and wondered about trying that route too. My JT also originally came with those exceedingly bright halogens ?. I know I can program it for LED lights but I also have aftermarket rear LED's that are plug and play to replace the original factory rear halogen fixtures. Meaning, I didn't have to program the Tazer because the lights have the circuitry already in place. I don't know what would happen on them if I program the Tazer to LED. Probably nothing. I might play with that when I get time.
There’s a setting under lighting for drl location and drl drop out. It might work with halogen fender lights. I hadn’t tried before I changed to LED fender lights but I did have to change the settings for my fender lights to work as drl. Since your switchback lights are tied into the fender light wiring the white halo is powered from the park light circuit and the amber switchback is powered from the turn signal. If the drl fender settings will work with halogen it would send power to the park light constantly which would power the white halo. Worth a try, you can’t really mess it up, just note what the setting is before making any change.
these two settings are the ones I’ve used. Canada (full time) should work
Got it! I will definitely give this a shot. Thanksthese two settings are the ones I’ve used. Canada (full time) should work
So no good on the Tazer. I tried every configuration available along with the full reboot and 2 sleep cycles between each one. It took a minute, lol. However I was able to get a change out of the selection for turn signal location. It activated the amber halo's to stay on all the time and strobe as turn signals when activated. Then when the headlights or parking lights turn on, the amber halo's go white like normal and function as amber turn signals when activated. The only way I can see to make it work is to physically tap into the truck drl wire and jump it to the halo wire of the lights. Just not sure what happens if the halo wire is supplied power from 2 separate sources and the $600 I paid for the lights just doesn't seem worth the risk for me to try it. Anyway, thanks for the idea.
