Flush Mount Tail Lights

[scotte992]

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.

Yep just did that. Have very little gap now

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.

Did not affect mine. Didn’t touch it at all

Pictures please

I have heard people mention it here, I have yet to see a picture. I didn't see any screws from the light even close to touching the paint of my truck.

The post directly above yours is the photos you are asking for.

Just got mine on today, fitment is honestly about as good as my factory ones, which also had some gaps. Haven't had a chance to test reverse lights or anything as the kids kept me busy the rest of the day. Will check tomorrow before work

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

Thats great news. When these are fully sorted, I might buy a set as they look spectacular.

Appears that mine turn on, turn off, turn on, etc. Not a fast flicker at all. I had halogens, and left the resistor in place.

Who's going to post pictures of these installed on your truck? I've been wanting something like this for two years.

There were some in another thread, I'll post some after the sun comes up.

There’s a bunch. Read back through.

Hmm.... ok. So they DO look better than stock. But, they still aren't flush like factory tail lights on other trucks, and the fit & finish is terrible. Interesting.

Well, that's certainly a step in the right direction. But for that price I think I'll wait for version 2. Thanks for posting the pics guys. Very helpful.

The reverse lights never flickered, always go on and off slowly.

The flickering was the 'hyperflash' issue where the truck is trying to tell you the blinker bulbs are out by changing the normal blinker light to a fast one. This seems to happen on LED equipped trucks. It won't on the halogen.

Sounds good, seems like they have something in the works. Not worried about it too much.

Fit and finish were as good as my factory tails. Wish there was an option for a reflector in the blank space for if you don't have BSM, but will see how reflective tape looks I guess.

Do what? I'm not picking on you because you have a very nice truck. But look at the gaps and molding on those Oracle lights. It's not even in the same league as the factory LED lights.
