I had factory halogens, and as you know, they are garbage. I am so happy with what it looks like now .

What I installed:
1- Oracle Flush Mount Taillights
2- Oracle Oculus Switchback Headlights
3- Morimoto XB Sequential Turn Signals
4- Morimoto Smoked LED Corner Markers
5- Rough Country High Clearance Front Bumper with skid plate, cube fog lights ran to factory fog light switch, and 20" lightbar

The difference in light output is amazing. And I love the turn signals being sequential and the way it looks with the headlight halo turn signal. I am very pleased with the quality and function of everything I put on.

Why didn’t you do the factory LEDs from the start? They should be standard tbh

While I agree that at this price point led should be standard, I can't speak for the OP I didn't order my Mojave and the one I found was already built and didn't have the option.

For me, even if I had ordered it I wouldn't have paid the $1500 for LED because I was planning on doing aftermarket stuff anyway, like the oracle tails etc..

Just like I didn't bother upgrading to the 8.4 audio as I was planning on putting in my own upgrades anyway, it would be just a waste of money.

Well for one, I didn't know for sure I was getting a gladiator until I found this one and got an offer on my trade that I couldn't turn down. I knew I would be getting new taillights, bumper, etc. so I didn't care that it came with halogens. There were a few options that for me at least were hard to find together.

I wanted Manual Transmission, Navigation, 8.4" Screen, Soft Top, Premium Audio, Body Colored Fenders.
For reference on how hard that was for me, there are currently 237 New Gladiators for sale on cars.com within 100 miles of me. Only 16 of those have a manual transmission. Only 10 of those 16 have navigation. Only 3 of those 10 have a soft top.

I'm waiting on my order now. I think I can live with the halogen headlights, but I really dislike the factory tail lights. Those Oracle flush mount tail lights will be my first lighting upgrade.

OP - except for the front bumper, I have the exact same setup. Couldn’t agree more on the performance and appearance.

Exactly the same for me, it was on the lot and the trade offer was insane (4k more) from this particular dealer. I also didn't know how much of a PITA the upgrade would be. Did you need a tazer or anything for the Flush mount taillights? I am thinking about getting those if I can't get a good set of factories this week.

I didn't have any issues with the Taillights, no need for tazer when you have factory halogens
