After adding the resistors and now having a problem with only one side I swapped the lamps and the problem followed the lamp. The one that stays on will stay lit on either side. The one that cycles on and off will do that on either side as well.

With the randomness of issues displayed it makes me wonder if they have some bad reverse led boards.

Well have been waiting to pass judgement on these till I got mine installed. Ordered under early order and they showed up yesterday. Absolutely no instructions included. Went ahead and ordered JScan , cables, and obx + ahead of time based on all the issues here so now I’m $175 more into supposed plug and play lights. Installed into 2020 Mojave with LED’s and already had the Oracle bumper reverse leds in. Swapped over BSM and plugged in and pushed forward and in on lights and tightened and my fit and finish was good. Now to try. Lights all worked but got the turn signal out warning and after a few seconds my bumper back up lights and left reverse tail light went out. Would come back on for a second when going from forward to reverse. So onto jscan. What a bitch to hook up splitter cable under dash. Had buddy with small hands help and after 10 minutes got hooked up. Went into adaptations and lights/led section. Deactivated all 4 turn and tail warnings and got out of program and then back in and still had same issue. Hooked up again and tried euro-us conversion like someone did here and did get rid of warning but only one reverse light working on passenger tail. Went back and forth trying every option I could find and ended up either in led or euro finding and turning off reverse light out warning. Got my 4 reverse lights working but still had occasional turn warning light signal but no hyper flash on dash. Unhooked JScan cables and hooked up factory cables and everything working. Wish I have documented all settings but I was an hour into this. Love the look or I would have boxed up and returned and said screw it. To Oracle-major fail on your part on engineering this. Should not have to spend $175 and hours trying to solve your issue. Hope you step up and offer something back to us that stayed with it.

I had some trouble yesterday with fit and also the backuo lights not staying on. I have a Sport Max Tow with halligen lamps.
So today i took mine out, sprayed a little silicon lube in the sockets where the outside pins seat. And after reading advice on tgis thread was able to achieve decent fitment i am happy with.
Even better I had no problems with the reverse lights staying on. I did get out of the jeep last night after my install to look at the lights. That cause the dummie shift to go into psyedo park. Even though I turned it off and back on, i now think the computer may have just been "disturbed" with me.
So lets hope its all good now. I love the sleeker look and the lighting is much better.
Hope yours all work out too. Cheers!

Maybe some aren’t seating the connectors all the way.
I had to squeeze pretty hard to hear the ‘click’

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.

After seeing these comparisons, I actually think the OEM ones look better. The style, size & shape fit the truck better.

Just my opinion though.

Thoigh the ”flush” mount ones are probably better for off road.

Swap the lamps side to side and see if the problem follows the lamp. The plugs are the same.
So I swapped the lamps and still got the left side bulb out and hyper flash on that side. I put on the resistors and nothing changed so I took them back off. All lights work perfectly on the tail lights themselves. I then decided to turn the headlight switch from Auto to off and voila no tail light warning and no hyper flash. The minute I switch the headlights to anything but off (parking, on or auto) I get the warning and the hyper flash?!?! Not sure if anyone else has had this. I know the obvious that with the switch to off I only get brake and turn signals in the rear so the tails are not always on which mitigates the issue. So not sure where the solution is other than drive with no lights :)

Just had a thought…you guys are posting pics of only one side hooked up …i removed both then installed both and i have zero issues. It may be possible that by hooking only one side up your confusing the system ?‍♂

Both have been plugged in at all times...great thought but that's not it in my case.

So I was finally able to get the Tazer to recognize the LED's and now my hyper flash is gone and no tail out warning. I went back into my Tazer manual and saw for LED turn signals to cycle from Halogen to LED to Halogen to LED (so 2 cycles) and the reboot. After reboot for sleep cycles it says to operate each turn signal for 20 seconds (20 second left and then right for 20 seconds) then do sleep cycle process (making sure you do not power back on until vehicle has gone dark for over 60 seconds) 5x. I did this and now no error. It was a long process and makes me question the Tazer a bit needing this many resets.sleep cycles but in the end it finally did what it was supposed to do. Hopefully those of you with a Taser will find this helpful.

Sounds like a good sales pitch for JScan. Haha

"Half the cost and twice as fast!"

Probably 100x as fast in reality since no boot cycles were required.
