First post here, been lurking for a bit. Purchased a 21 Gladiator back in November of 24.

Been doing a few changes over the last few months. Most recently was a pair of Oracle LED backup lights to replace the rear bumper reflectors. All worked well after the replacement. I used the Oracle plug and play adapter rather than direct wire tap.

Noticed today that the "ringlight" portion of my left (drivers side) tail light no longer works. Pulled the light to verify it was all plugged in right, looked good. Decided to plug the left light into the right harness to verify it was a light issue. The ringlight worked! So it's not a light issue.

Decided it has to be a wiring harness issue right? I opted to buy a replacement harness from the bumper connector to the tail light. Thinking maybe I did something to that harness while installing?

Has anyone had this issue? Any thoughts on causes or repairs?

I actually just did mine this week but I tapped into the existing harness can’t say I’ve had an issue.

This is another option. It will tie the Rear Bumper reverse lights into the 7 pin Trailer tow that way it's working off of a separate reverse circuit. Send us a DM if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the reply! The reverse lights are working fine, just the single halo light on the left side is out.
