As late as the reverse lights shipped, I am thinking it will probably be Christmas
Worth the wait though. Got a quality product that looks better and was substantially cheaper than the compeditors.

Any updates? Do y'all at least have a target set for early / mid / late Aug?
Hi Mark, we don't have a specific date to share. Not official, but I would say to anticipate a late August shipment. Any updates to this estimation will certainly be posted here for everyone.

So they made this goofy design to account for a package that more than half of all Gladiators don't have. And to top it off the assist system is only the the LED fixture and not the Halogen one. Feel like they could have had a different design for the halogen one based on that.
This cannot be a serious post. Do you know how much money it would take to design a diffrent light for gladiators without the sensor? Then what put the "better looking" tail light on the lower price jeep? Another step in assembly?

wow you went back far in this thread. And yes, its a really dumb design overall for a package. I mean Oracle did a better job at a fair price compared to what Mopar put out. They crippled all the trims for one feature seems really odd. I am so glad I didn't waste the money on the Mopar LED package and am glad Oracle is getting that money instead (and it averages to be about the same).

Oracles design potentially accomodates those without blind spot detection. They have stated the space it would normally occupy may be used for other purposes.

I just started at the beginning and that's as far as I got before I read something absolutely ridiculous.

I couldn't wait any longer and just got these cheap LEDs for $140. I'll probably buy the oracle ones next year.

For me it was less about LED and more about flush mount tucked in design, though both are important elements. That's a great shot of your JT. Does the rear bumper wrap around?

opening post of this thread kind of proved the stock ones are a dumb design for an offraod vehicle. Especially for a feature a large amount of them don't even have.

You design the tail light top to bottom.


If you design a light without room for the proximity warning what you propose they do when they need room for proximity? develop two different housings? two different do you have any idea how much that would cost? if they did that do you know who would ultimately pay for that cost? the end user. You make one uniform light that fits all models.


If you don't understand that point someone should come to your house and take all the sharp objects out.

Yes I understand manufacturing efficiencies and all that. Doesn't change the fact that it isn't a good design. I always thought the rear of the JT looked strange with those bulbous things hanging out.

But they could have done the jeep without that feature at all if it required such a compromising design. Also the housing is at least slightly different since the prox sensor package automatically gets you rear LED lights. Or could have designed something unique instead of trying to copy the JL. Oracle did it at a good price and figured out how to still support those stupid sensors.

Its an offroad truck, proof of a bad design was in the opening post here.
