I went with the Oracle Oculus headlight and their fogs. I will probably update the look of the fenders eventually too and supposedly they are developing flush mount taillights. I'm guessing all in I'll have the same money into lighting as I would had I gone OEM but this allows me to customize the look and maybe even have slightly better lighting performance. If you want an OEM look its worth the buy, if you want a little more customization of your JT there's options out there.

Are your Oculus headlights on back order? I ordered mine on 11/25 and they have still not shipped. I texted Oracle over a week ago and they assured me the headlights would be available, "In a few days".

Hey there! Just letting you know that our latest re-stock is quickly progressing through QC so these can get out asap for you this week. We are still working around delays caused by COVID and the holidays but our apologies if the updated projected shipping date wasn't accurately shared with you. We thank you for your patience and looking forward to you enjoying your new lights soon!

Absolutely We have had a JL with and one without, there is a huge difference. When getting my JT it was a must have

Looks like oracle already gave you an answer but so you know I ordered from Northridge and they have not shipped yet. They are drop shipped and on the website it said to expect 30 days. I know it's hard waiting for Jeep parts, I def want the light on my Jeep but with everything going on in the world and this being the busiest shipping time of the year I'd say try to have some patience, they'll get them to you.

Looking forward to receiving my headlights and fogs as well! I would def like QC to take the time they need to make sure I don't have to send them back! Also looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with for the taillights

Yup totally. I upgraded to Mopar Headlights and Led Turn Signals/DRLs on my Sport S!

Where did you purchase from? Have some headlights on back order but can not find the turn signals anywhere.

I do understand these things can take time. My only beef is Oracle didn't tell me the lights were on back order when I ordered them and then they said they would ship in a few days when they did not.

Mine are on backorder from Quadratech as well. Strange since they sent the fogs anyways for me to awkwardly stare at while I wait

They are awesome as long as you don't drive in the snow where they aren't worth a damn. I constantly have to pull over to clean the snow off of them. If it's night time they are completely useless.

Working ok according to non-experts, to owners basing on just how things look to them and not getting flashed....... well, how scientific, and those people will miss out on GOOD lighting and stick with their "it's ok" lights.
No one would ever admit the light they chose wasn't excellent, it ain't gonna happen!
If they chose it, then it was a good choice and they'll never say otherwise. It's people.
Science and research and lighting experts say - they are not getting proper lighting or what's even possible.
I never go by forums and internet comments when choosing light. I base it on what I know to be fact.
I also know that people get PO'd about some lights but never "flash" them. My wife is one who will struggle home half-blinded and never flash anyone. So that's hardly an indication that the lights have no negative impact on others. (I, on the other hand, will not only flash them, I'll turn my own brights on and leave them on until they are passed me)
I do the same thing, Pops! They blind me, I blind them! :)
