Replying in case it helps. I ordered my elite max headlights march 6 and installed them yesterday. I had the known flickering issue coming from halogen setups with engine running. Thankfully I already had a tazer so that was a quick fix. Was hopeful I got an already fixed set but probably just too close to the date a fix was found (feb 18th or so it seems)

I also had the issue where the driver's headlight was aimed to the sky and trying to adjust it down did nothing. I saw one post here about turning the adjustment screw higher so I gave it a shot and it worked. A little unnerving because the light initially dropped down like it slipped on the guide or something, but afterwards I was able to adjust it normally. It doesn't bounce around driving or anything and seems fine. Very odd, almost like it was assembled out of order and the adjustment screw isn't set in place but adjusting "up" aligns it? Or maybe thats how they are supposed to assemble and its just a missed step?

A side note; is anyone having issues programming the lights to the various settings? I'm able to get into program mode doing the headlight dial dance, and change through the options using the highbeams, but when I turn the headlight dial to off, the settings don't seem to save? I emailed @Diode Dynamics on this, but guessing I won't hear back til monday.
Good morning,

Did our customer service team provide assistance and resolve your programming questions?

Looking forward to hearing back!

I just got my @Diode Dynamics Elite Max headlights installed late last night and I apologize for the not so awesome pics (6 degrees and flurries) Installation was straight forward and I do recommend accessing the OEM blinker harness by pulling back the inner fender liner. Taking the extra 10 minutes to remove the front wheel (just do one side at a time with a jack/stand), (2) tree clips at the bottom edge of the liner and a single 10mm bolt towards the top of the liner makes life easier and provides plenty of access for your hands.

Beam pattern is SO MUCH more evenly distributed and wider than my previous Oracle Oculus'. There's still a nice blue banding at the top of the cutoff for those that care :) The welcome/start-up sequence of the lights is a nice touch and is not overly drawn out or obnoxious by any means. The turn signal halos and bars are super bright and will work perfectly when I get my Nemesis flares installed. The hi-beams are really bright and throw light WAYYY down the road without loosing the low beam spread. The off-road lights on the Max are a nifty touch and scatter light in a more hi-beam like pattern. They're going to be good in the woods for me just to provide a nice flood of light. I think of them like a flood light lens on a Diode Dynamics SS3 Sport pod. I could see myself turning off the low beams in the woods to get rid of the cutoff line line of the headlights and just using the off-road lights and my pods to light the way.

Much much more testing to come of course!

Do you have any photos of your Oracle lights as a comparison?

Installing Elite Max on my 2023 JTR tomorrow. From what I’m reading here, the fuse tap is only required if you want your DRLs to light up before the engine starts correct? I’ll wire up the off-road wire to my factory switches.

I'm debating not connecting it.

We always recommend tapping the fuse tap to ensure proper operation of the lamp design, there have been certain models with oddities when not tapped.

If you have any questions or concerns, please go ahead and give us a call at 314-205-3033 Monday-Friday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. CST, or shoot us an email at [email protected], and our in-house US service team would be happy to help you with that.
