I just installed mine using the PNP harness and was getting a "Blind Spot Unavailable" error. Once I removed the PNP harness...the error went away. I would like to avoid tapping my factory wires if possible.

I emailed customer service and awaiting their response.

This was on a 2021 Sport S w/ LED tail lights & blind spot sensors.
This is the one I want to know more about before my kit arrives on Tuesday.

Mine was a few inches short routed the correct way. I was only able to attach it after unclipping the tail light harness from this plastic clip. The cable is still TIGHT, and I had to lower my 35" spare to get my hands between the bumper and spare to make the connection.

Plug and play in theory only......
The sport model with the led taillights and sensor in the bumper is not. Both lights needed to be modified by reducing the locator pins , no biggie, not plug and play. To the engineering aspect and not wasting any material, Aces to you guys! except that one INCH of wire would really help for the 2.0 version.

And I will add the drivers side has excess wire, needed to zip tie up about 6 inches....
So much for saving a nickel on excess wire...

You'll notice the same obstruction will occur if you try to place the OEM reflector back in.

If that were true you'd never get the stock one out.. For some reason it doesn't hit. The stock one goes right back in. I believe the difference is in the thinness of the stock reflector that let's you get closer when pivoting it back in.

You must have been sweating a ton over this, the driveway is all wet. Kidding.

The actual wires powering the lights themselves are really small, maybe 25 to 30 ga. You can run 18 ga with no worries.
Yeah, they are LED - very low draw. Even 18 should be plenty.
For a comparison - in the 80s headlights, even the 4 lamp systems, were fed by 18 gauge wires.
These won't take but a fraction of that.

Thanks Oracle, agree with some of the sentiments on here, one to two more inches of harness wire and we are golden. Anyway after a quick email on how to cheat another inch, it was remedied. Great light output. Suits my needs backing up my steep driveway at night. Would post a pic at nite but no assistance available, I keep telling my pup she needs opposable thumbs!

I haven't even tried mine yet and yet by looking at the photos there, that was my thinking - yeah, you can tip and pivot that thin cheap factory reflector but the new lights are thicker, cooling fins in the road.

I will commend oracle on this though: received shipping notification on 6/30 for a Tuesday delivery. Got a notification from USPS informed delivery and another from Oracle that my kit is out for delivery today!
