Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on the design process. The design team is closing in on final design revisions before sending the CAD to engineering.

Since the previous renderings, we have slightly modified the design. The red lens will be responsible for displaying the LEDs as well as catering a side reflector. The lens has also been extended from the previous design, so there will be additional red lighting when facing the rear of the vehicle.

For the reverse light, the team is looking into standard reverse functions with turn signal integration. The large space beside the reverse light will be for the rear cross traffic sensor. More details will emerge from the engineering process.

Expecting sendoff to be by either the end of the week or early next week. Design is subject to change throughout this process. Thank you for your continued support and we will be sure to give you additional updates in the coming weeks.
These lights really coming along nicely!

This might be a be a bit premature since it’s not at the engineering phase yet, but would you be able to give us any indication about when we could potentially pre-order these lights?

Really like the look, any thoughts of giving an option to put an additional reverse or aux light in the black spot if we don't have the sensors? Looks like a lot of space there.

Not at the moment. Once we hear back from engineering, the information provided will help indicate build times for manufacturing and release dates soon after. We will be sure to relay the information on to you guys as soon as we dive deeper into the manufacturing process.

i dont like the big blank space next to the reverse light. I understand its there for a sensor but on a tail light housing it just looks like a randomly unused square. Does that space light up or do anything? Is it always just a big square in the middle of the light?
If you dont have the sensors it seems so useless. Aesthetically, i would rather use that space for the blinker....red stays on and that blinks yellow....even a sticker with a gladiator logo or something would make sense. The square looks like nothing better could be come up with.

Add side lights which illuminate with switched power?

We completely understand. The design team is playing around with the ability to make a removable unit for that space. That way the space could be used for a variety of applications vs just using that space for a single sensor unit. While the sensor is our main priority, we agree that there can be other opportunites for that space claim from a function and style perspective.

Another option Ide love to see is a non sensored model, where the whole center is a huge LED panel, that lights up red for breaks, flashes Amber(or red if that’s the only way) for turns signals, and solid white for a huge output on backup.

what about a 007 version with a retractible oil slick nozzle that can be switched out with smoke screen or mini gun......on second thought, there might be some problems with local municiplaities.
I second this!

This would look pretty cool illuminated in that black spot

That's exactly what I was thinking. Since this is a Gladiator, something unique like that would make the mod go over the top. I second and third this request.

Make them affordable and you will sell more of them. They look ok, but I wouldn't spend more than $300 on a set.

Hey, that’s not how this works. We start low, and work our way up. I’ll pay $100.

Agreed, but they do look better than the stock ones, unfortunately I'll probably already be dropped dime on custom tail light guards before these drop.
