I am a new Gladiator owner

[Robdara]

I am thinking about changing the taillights on my Gladiator. How do I know if the taillights are LED,and what is everybody using for replacements? My Gladiator is a 2023 Sport S with the Max Tow package.

Thank you!

Pretty sure there is a second LED option that looks like the standard one but is LED. Saw it on an Overland I test drove.

Welcome to the obsession!! OlllllllO

I prefer the oracle tails if you don’t already have OEM LED. They don’t stick out so much. Congrats on the truck!

Doubt that would be factory.
Only reason I could see for any difference would be BSM vs. non-BSM.
Otherwise, LED will be LED in these.

He can get the definitive answer with a build sheet (or window sticker - if it's new, there should be a printed one, otherwise he can get a PDF copy online)


LED - with BSM - (fender flare, bumper end, all stick out as much as the tail light but then when you are smacking up against trees and thick brush, I get the complaints, I guess. Otherwise, I'm fine with the factory other than the lame backup light portion)

The back-up lights are not bright and made worse by the license plate lights shining into the camera (and I have had three back surgeries and prefer not to turn to look).
- a Taser Mini will cut off those lights when in reverse
- the Oracle back-up lights partially replace the reflector and are SUPER bright (see the bumper on ShadowsPapa’s truck for what they look like)
- Oracle taillights have a lot of options. I have stock but they may be plug-and-play like their back-up lights which were a snap to install once I bought a flat 7mm ratchet for $1.99.

J.E.E.P. = just empty every pocket. They don’t tell you that it is an acronym at the dealer lot. ?
