Flush Mount Tail Lights

[Rockabillyroy]

This guy says no prob. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/oracle-flush-mount-taillights-arrived-today.49993/

They come with the resistors plugged in. He's probably running them straight out of the box.

Just took it out for a drive, and getting a warning that both turn signals are out.

From my understanding, if I already had LEDs in the rear, I didn’t need to use the resistors or change any settings in Tazer?

Read further back in the thread. they stated their bulbs pull more than the standard LED, you will need to set that setting to Aftermarket LED.

I had the halogen and installed the new taillights with the resistors installed. I have a flickering when no brakes are applied. Any thoughts?

Any idea what the setting is actually doing? I don't have a Tazer, but use JScan. I can see settings for lights voltage regulation, but it asks me to set a certain voltage, in increments of 0.2V

same here. i have the stock LED lights so i didn’t use the resistors (as per the video instructions) and now i also get the warning that both turn signals are out.

guess i’ll have to try and put the resistors in or try my JScan.

my lights also not sit totally flush despite pushing in while tightening the bolts

lastly I thought the resistors where supposed to have double sided tape on them, like the video. mine didn’t come with them. luckily i already have extra 3M VHB tape.

Mine also didn't have the double sided tape.

I was playing around with the "Lights voltage regulation" for the right and left rear corners, was default set to 13.6V, I bumped it up to 14.2V and it seems to have gone away. Although now my outside temp. gauge reads 140F... I decided to let it stew for a bit and check it in the morning.

Check JSCAN LOVERS on Facebook. They have a FAQ on (not all) there setttings.

Thanks! Found this:

LED lights / indicators warning
When original traditional lights / indicators are replaced with LEDs, even if you set the corresponding settings to let the ECU know that LEDs are present, it is possible to get a dashboard error about malfunctioning light / indicator.
If you are certain the lights / indicators work properly and want to remove the error from your dashboard:

1. Go to Adaptation
2. Tap search (a magnifying glass in a green circle)
3. Type “diagnostics”
4. Disable the corresponding “diagnostics present” setting.

This will tell the ECU not to monitor the state of the sepcified lamp or indicator.

EDIT: Actually, I think this would still show the hyper-flashing that's occurring on the dash, so maybe this isn't a solution

Well so much for plug and play.

Welcome to the shit show

Yeah kinda miffed a little that I have to use tazer for these to work.

I’ll add some positive feedback. I installed mine and I had ZERO issues (and I was too excited to watch their video) with the fit. The lights worked fine going from stock halogen to these LED, but the reverse lights didn’t stay on until I switched settings with the Tazer

(edit- I didn’t want to run the resistors so I removed them, which is probably why the reverse lights didn’t Stay on, and relied on the Tazer I already have)

Lights showed up but too late to install tonight.

Wart removal begins tomorrow. Motobilt bumper so don't think it'll be as junk in the trunk looking.

I for one have no intention of using any third party programmer to change ANY vehicle settings for these to work. These are advertised as plug and play which means they should have everything needed in the product box to get them working properly regardless of the factory vehicle options.

Luckily I have factory halogen rears without blind spot sensors, so hopefully the only issue I run into is the screw head slightly rubbing on the taillight opening (see above posts for this issue), but if the actual taillights and reverse lights don't work perfect with the resistors installed, they will unfortunately be going back to Oracle. I guess we'll find out tomorrow when they show up.

The wiring on these is shorter than the factory lamps. I had to pull the retainer clip holding the factory plugs on both sides. Otherwise, the plugs on these lamps would not have reached.

Same as another guy, the fit on the passenger side is definitely better. Not sure why. That tiny recessed screw was just a hair over flush.

I turned them on just to see if they worked. And they did.

I did not want to run the resistor, so I went the extra step. Side note, no double sided tape on mine either.

I installed the z auto SGW extension. I had to use a screw driver to depress the tabs to pull the two plugs.
Then I plugged in the SGW bypass connector with OBDII module.
Turned vehicle on Run.
Loaded up JSCAN app on my phone and paired.
Chose my vehicle.
Went to Adaptation tab.
Went down to
rear turn lamp LED
reverse lamp LED
stop lamp LED
tail lamp LED
And changed them all to Activated
I turned the truck to off. I did not reboot.

I started up the truck and went through all the functions. Everything worked. The reverse is way brighter than factory halogen.

I took it for a drive around the block. No errors. No hyperflashing. Gonna give a week before I ebay my factory lamps. Hahah

2021 JTR with factory halogens.

Ignore the incomplete tailgate blackout. I got two young kids and piecemeal my projects whenever I can steal some time. Haha
