Aftermarket tail lights to improve looks?

[Rickbuck]

Anyone know where I can get better looking (smaller) tail lights for my 2020? Stock are too wide. First thing everyone says! including me!

Should of thought of that before buying it. Black them out it helps but I'm not sure they make a smaller option other than the quakes, which are worse than the stock ones

Thanks, i'm sure someone will make some soon. Just have to have patience.

Oracle are currently working on a set. You can see Them in this thread: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/flush-mount-tail-lights.30902/

There really aren’t any options on the market for the gladiator at the moment as it’s still a “new” vehicle and the aftermarket is still catching up.

I bought and installed these (https://amzn.to/2YdGHYC) about a month ago and have really enjoyed them as they offer a distinctive look, however they are the same size and shape as the stock lights.

Other than what has been mentioned this is about your only other option.

Thank you for responding, But I will wait. Really want lights that don't stick out from the sides.

Then you’ll definitely want to look at the thread link I posted. I think it’s page 14 or 15 where oracle shows off their current CAD designs with the stock housings for reference. I’ve been looking for the same and bought the lights off Amazon as a holdover until oracle releases their lights to the market.

Oracle is working on theirs and Motobilt is working on one similar to their JL tail lights. I still prefer the Motobilt ones personally.

I personally wouldn't buy anything Oracle sales never had a good experience with them in the past. If Motobilt is building a set I'd be interested in seeing them

This is their JL round light conversion. They said they are working on similar for the Gladiator.

Not sure how I feel about those either but the would probably look real good with the some taillight guards around them. I'm on the fence right now on if I want to wait for some tail lights like this or go ahead and get the tail light guards built around my stock ones. My guys been to busy to get to the project and it's given me some time to think about what I really want to do.

Yes I agree. I have a black 2020. Painted black with clear lensed side markers may not look too bad. I might wait for another option, but better looking than stock

You should try smoking them out and see how you like them. I'm going to probably do mine. Nightshades or Rust-oleum lens tint. I'm going to tape off the reverse lights and outside housing and do just the red parts. I'm using Zevo 7443 Red led bulbs for the tail lights now and they are brighter than the stock Halogens so I should be good as far as not losing much visibility. I smoked out the stock ones on my JKU I had with rust-oleum until I got aftermarket ones. Personally I prefer the Rust-oleum lens tint over the Nightshades because it's not quite as dark.
