Ok so a little update on my findings. I have a Tazer Mini and installed a set of LED switchback bulbs from Amazon. End page was the brand. Size and fit into harness was good. I set DRLs to Turn signals and DRL option as Canada. Lights come on amber with engine running and no lights. Then they are white when either auto lights come on or I turn on the lights. They flash amber for the blinker. From the outside they flash normal pattern, but inside the dash light hyper flashes although the blinker sound inside is normal pattern. I do not have resistors hooked up. Not sure if I will or not but do have a set laying around. I’m guessing you cannot get the bulbs to shine white during DRL mode, which actually may not be bad as amber will show better in the daylight. Just my thoughts/findings. Please share ideas or questions.

Looks great! Don't the Oracles have DTRL in the headlamp? Is there a need for additional DTRL's? Just curious as I plan to throw in the Oracles after my lift and tires are done.

I don't have my Gladiator yet, but was researching the switchback bulbs. I think you may have to turn on parking lights manually to get white "DRL" with headlights off.

I believe you could use Tazer to set front turn signal type to LED and remove the hyperblinking on dash.

Yes to the first part, seems that way.

And I did use Tazer to set them to LED. Didn’t help on the dash

They do just replacing the bulb in the fenders for color matching sake

The slim sequential fender lights from quake are 100% compatible with non led gladiators.
There some much better 9” LEDs now. I’m ordering the blis package to get led tails and going for better aftermarket for less than Jeep wants
What is the blis package? I checked the Quake website and I didn't see any LED packages...I am very interested though!

finished the total conversion over the weekend. Driving at night is so much better now and I don’t get flashed like I did with the factory lights

I was getting flashed with the factory bulbs too. Hopefully after my upgrade it'll be better.

Do the DRL work with the lights off? I had the oracle DRL and they would not turn on unless lights are on. Looks good though. TIA.

Duplicate post from the what did you do TO your gladiator thread, but there are some specifics that you guys might like.

Finally got around to installing my new headlights and fog light bulbs.
First there is a long thread about LED bulbs in the halogen reflector housing (https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/led-bulb-replacement-it-works.19953/page-12).

Hopefully I don't blind people, but the cutoff line appears to be as straight as the stock bulbs were. Who knows. lots of videos and info from headlight revolution about this mod as well.

Headlights:, I dunno what happened, but i lucked out. these are now $169.....

Fog light bulbs: $24.49
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H8CAC5K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you notice at the top of the bulb there are a series of black holes. This is so you can "clock" the bulb so the LEDs point 3 and 6 o'clock. However, I thought this was infinately adjustable, its not with this bulb. So the bulb isn't actually perfectly pointing 3 and 6..... Still looks great.

headlight photos like this are pointless, it never captures what it looks like in person, lol

new headlights, old fog light on left, it looked MUCH dimmer than the new fog bulb.
