Hi Hans,
Currently, the solution for LED Jeeps is to use either a Tazer or JSCAN to tell the computer to not check for the factory tails. This is gong to be the only solution for LED Jeeps currently, as the ORACLE LED Tails pull more current than the Jeep LED Tails - As they are much brighter.
You just need to resettle the tail here. Loosen the top bolt, press the tail into place where you need, then tighten the bolt while held in place. Repeat on the bottom.
Here's some pics of the LH on ours showing a clear difference when this is done:
I'll be keeping my eye out for this when the info comes my way from Rachel. What is interesting here to me, is that we have a JTR which is bone stock (We did all testing on this) and had zero of these issues.
Leave the resistors in and drive the Jeep for a few cycles. Typically, DTCs clear automatically if the computer no longer see's the issue after 3-5 drive cycles.
After doing some calculations and some deeper research, I have come to a possible solution which I am having one of our members try.
Once I've confirmed the results of that, I will report back to you all with said solution, if all goes well. This will take a few days.
Note: this is for...
These tails are 100% plug & play with most of the Jeeps. Just in the anomalies we are seeing here in this thread, we are well within the 1-2 percentile range for these & are closely monitoring.

This solution is farcical for a myriad of reasons. Most notably, the user would be expected to cut the wiring & add this potentiometer in between. This will either (A) Void the guarantee our factory provides on the ORACLE tails, if tapped into the tail side of the harness, in turn voiding the...
This is 100% correct. This is the only way the ORACLE LED tails can be brighter and cover more space (The C shaped accent around the tail & the larger reverse light) than the OEM LED tails.
If you follow earlier posts in the thread, we make it abundantly clear that this is not exclusive to ORACLE tail lights & these errors happen on account of proprietary FCA tech that needs to be disabled when aftermarket parts are added.
Programmer mfg would not take the time & resources to code...
Sorry for the confusion here, I was under the impression you were also using the bumper reverse lights.
If you're experiencing that issue with only the tails installed, the only solution is the programmer. So, if you're not satisfied with that solution, please reach out to our customer support...
See below from my post a little earlier in the thread. I highlighted the workaround for the reverse lights if you don't want to use a programmer in red:
Using with ORACLE Bumper Reverse Lights (PN# 5878-504) - If P&P harness is in use & reverse light flickering / shutting down occurs you can...
Lots of back & forth here so I'm going to summarize from my earlier posts just for the sake of combining in hopes that it's a useful resource for any of you:
Halogen Equipped Jeeps - Uses the included resistor - No errors/DTCs should occur
If you do not wish to use the resistors & have a...
Correct, unmarrying the programmer before taking in for service is definitely recommended as the dealer can deny future warranty services if it's there. Unmarrying takes all of 5min, so not a big deal for most users who need it.
Yes, when unmarrying, the DTCs will come back, but the dealer...
Mike,
I highlighted a workaround above for anyone who doesn't want to use a programmer. Please read that.
The programmer is simply an easier work around. It's also killing 2 birds with one stone if you ever plan to lift and do bigger tires as you'll need to calibrate the speedo.
The fact...
If flickering or shutting down occurs with the reverse lights in use along with the tails, & you're using the P&P harness, the best way to eliminate this without the use of a programmer will be to tap each reverse light into the wiring on it's respective side per the instructions in the reverse...
