Flush Mount Tail Lights

[Mac]

If the brake lights stop working for the same reason the reverse lights stop working that could create a serious problem, how would you even know?

I wish I had y’all’s problems! I’ve had my lights for a couple of weeks now but still have no Gladiator to even see if they work on.?
Seems like from my vantage point that Oracle is very active in trying to rectify this issue. Some folks just aren’t being very patient and throwing a wrench in the spokes. While I purchased with the understanding that these were plug and play I also understand that different vehicles are programmed differently from the factory. If I had a Gladiator and had some of these malfunctions I would be more than willing to help get it all sorted out.
Thanks to those who are lending a hand, and to Oracle for trying to make it right.
Here’s to hoping it’s all sorted out and is actually plug and play by the time I get to install them.???????

If the resistor fails then yes I suppose you would have a problem on your hands until you get a scanner or another resistor. I have no idea how often resistors fail.

Hi!

Factory halogen here. Reverse lights go out for about 5 seconds before coming back on. Repeats. On a second or two, off for 4 or 5.

Others have reported the same behavior. Don't claim no reports from halogen that's not true.

I have factory halogen, and my reverse lights are not working. The main brake lights worked fine with the resistor though.

It's amazing, I've probably been one of the most vocal about these issues for days in these threads, and yet here we are getting claims there's no one with OEM halogens having issues...

We misspoke then. I am PMing both of you to get vehicle information since you have the issue; it's been difficult to find those that have actually had the issue. Please be on the lookout for that message.

Halogen swap out makes more sense as far as having issues than led to led swap. I have halogen also. Will report back when I get mine.

People are rightfully frustrated that Oracle didn't properly test these and sold them as plug and play. I am not sure if a single owner here has been truly plug and play. And Oracle doesn't seem to be wanting to get it right, just telling people it's a Jeep thing, buy a Tazer because you're probably going to need to adjust tire size anyways, or send them back.

I got mine to work fine and am keeping them but watching Oracle's web team fumble this is frustrating to watch for those who are having issues.

Factory halogen to Oracle led is plug and play. No programming necessary.

Not they are not, the reverse lights cut off.

2020 Overland with factory halogen. Resistor worked for brake and turn, reverse lights cut on and off until I used JScan.

Should be a simple fix. The circuit just needs to see a load.

I was referring to the headlamps. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

For what it's worth, mine went in fine and I haven't had any issues. Halogen original, no flash.

I'm not really sure how you see it that way, but this is disappointing that you think we aren't trying to be responsive as we are here actively gathering feedback. As we've said several times, we are trying to identify those actually having the issue to collect information to help us look into this. At this time, we can only offer the option to return or use a programmer. If we find another solution, it will be communicated. We can't offer a solution that we don't even have.

Our only goal is to help everyone get to a place where their Jeep accepts their lights. Your speculation that no one had a seamless install is just simply false, I must say. There have been multiple people on this thread alone that have, not to mention across other threads and platforms.

All we need is patience and cooperation from those who can give us more information to try for another solution.

Again, for anyone having experienced any part of the tails pulsating, flickering, or shutting down -- PLEASE PM us so we can collect some information from you. We are trying to identify those actually experiencing this.

Just curious do the reverse lights stop working because of a resistor failure or some other reason?

I don't think it's known yet exactly why. Some think it may be load related. There are more reverse LEDs in the Oracle lights and they are incredibly bright. Hard to look directly at even in the daytime. Big improvement over stock. Makes me wonder if their bumper LED lights would even be needed. It would be interesting to get feedback from someone who has both and compare them.

I am no electrical engineer, but they don't have any resistor in line on the white reverse lights but they do on the red brake/turns.

Resistor is there to turn a factory halogen signal into an acceptable LED signal. If you already have LED signal you just unplug the resistor.

Now why they have this on the red bulbs but didn't also include this on the reverse, idk.
