After installing mine, the passenger side had a big gap at the front bottom like everyone else complained about. To fix it just remove the light, take the heel of your hand and apply inward pressure on the sheet metal where the alignment pin holes are. This will bring the bottom of the housing closer to the body. I should have taken a before pic.

Installed mine today on an overland with factory led and Bsm. I also have the pnp harness for the Oracle back up lights

everything works except for the hyper flash on the right turn signal. Flashes normal outside just the dash flashes faster. Weird thing is no issues on the left turn signal.

I am good with the gap but you do need to really push in while tightening the screws.

otherwise I am happy with them.

It's the driver side that has the issue.

For those of you with inoperative back up when replacing halogen units lights there is a fix. You have to be comfortable doing custom wiring which i am. To test, I just rigged the wiring by back probing the connector. The circuit needs a load to stay on so get a couple resistors and wire them parallel to the reverse light wires. Ill take these apart and do a permanent repair next.

I received mine and have them installed (including the BSM) and no issues so far. Love the look and the backup light brightness is outstanding. The regular lights seem to be a bit brighter than factory as well. I'll throw my before and after pics on the pile here as well. I did not have any fitment issues.

I was parked next to a buddy of mine and he has the stock tail lights. Easy to see the comparison on how they stick out.

Rechecked the wiring and all is good. There's no voltage going to the reverse light circuit on the passenger side. Going to let everything go to sleep and retest.

I am getting the Left side bulb out and hyper flash. I set my Tazer for LED Rears but still have the issue?? I did not use the resistors since I have a Taser. Any thoughts??

Swap the lamps side to side and see if the problem follows the lamp. The plugs are the same.
