Flush Mount Tail Lights

[cecaa850]

We're referring to the OEM LED tails, not halogen.

The Oracle tails draw less than the OEM halogen, but more than the OEM LED.

I have a working solution for halogen which we are working with our factory to refine a bit. We are also looking into a solution for OEM LED users.

That makes more sense.

So I installed mine today. Had halogen lights but have a tazer. Lights work fine so far. No flickering. No messages about a bulb out. I thought the fitment was fine. Maybe a small gap on one side. As for a screw rubbing on them, there it’s no screw anywhere close to rubbing. Was an easy install. The only problem I had was I broke the red clip when I was plugging one of them in. I just taped it tight with electrical tape. Over all I’m very happy with them. They look great.

I can see from the pictures here that if you loosen each bolt, push & hold in, then re-tighten, you can make these gaps go away.

Looks like they need to be pushed upward & inward slightly to fit the body contour.

So, this screw that many say interferes with the fitment of the lights... it's the Torx screw that attaches the cable guide for the different tailgate positions, right? Has anyone tried replacing it with a shorter one?

I don’t have a screw anywhere close to the taillight

It's a screw head on the light that hits the sheet metal of the truck. It will take the paint off it you aren't careful installing it.

Check these posts. There is a small Phillips screw on the back of the Oracle housing that secures their backup light unit into their housing. And yes, this affects everyone's JT. I just gently bent in the sheet metal at the screw head location so it wouldn't rub.

Ohhh. I completely misread that every time it was referenced then. The circle helped, thanks.

Your not the only one that misread it. I was confused. I didnt even notice that this was hitting. I guess I need to check mine.

what is the fix for the blind spot unavalibe/blinker errors? I would hate to have waited all this time on a product that doesn’t function as advertised

Haven't had a report for blind spot errors yet. PM'ed you.

What’s the fix that someone said oracle came up with for fixing the reverse lights when switching from halogen lights?

More info on that coming shortly from Oracle, I'm sure they're working on documentation and implementation of the fix.

Yeah i tried that and seems to work on passenger side but wont set in on drivers side (like other users have found)

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.

It might be worthwhile to see when yours was built and if any of the part numbers involved i.e. wiring, BCM have been superseded.
