Oracle Flush Mount Taillights Arrived Today

[21mojave]

Thanks for sharing the close up pics. That's not bad. I'd be interested in a video as well of them lit up at night or at dusk.

Thanks again!

They look good ladies and gentlemen. Sorry about the flood light glare.

So it won’t let me upload a 22 second video showing all of the tail light functions. I will show the 6 second video of the left turn signal though!

That’s interesting. I thought the turn signals were going to be shared with the reverse light area. Still looks really good though! I really like the side visibility too. I’ve had several issues with trying to merge or change lanes, but because of the box shape of the taillights, once someone gets past a certain point there are no visible turn indicators.

Looks pretty good

It’s officially on my Mod List.

Have you tested the reverse lights yet? Hopefully those are a huge improvement over factory halogens too

 

[garzilla]

I can't wait to install mine! I was going to wait until the weekend but I might do it tomorrow!

Maybe a thin gasket or edge trim would fill those gaps?

Really makes the bumper look bigger

Darn you!!! I'm going to bill you for my replacement bumper

It's August already?!



They look great.

Got the new Oracle taillights today. Install went flawlessly. Fit is pretty good but not quite factory good. They work fine and look soooooo much better than stock. I went from stock halogens to these and no warning indicators or anything funny on my test drive.

Too bad you don’t have blind spot. I want to see someone test before and after on that. The Jeep engineers over the FB page have been ripping them up over the fact that Oracle complete fudged up the blind spot. Of course, Oracle was silent on that when it was brought up.

They LOOK great though!

Can you explain the proximity sensor statement? I wasn’t aware the lights were related to that. Is proximity sensor the same as blind spot sensor? I’m thinking about getting these and mine does have blind spot sensors. I second the question about fitment being not as good as factory. Can you elaborate please?

Yes they mean the blind spot sensors. I don’t think any Jeep engineers have had a chance to actually compare internal sensor parts but they have ripped this up over the fact that Oracle complety moved the angle of the blind spot. When the engineers called out Oracle on that they were silent on it. Look at the original tail lights, the blind spots shoot out the sides, perpendicular to the truck. On the Oracals they no longer do that and instead are angled out the back at 45 degrees. They hypothetically are going to miss the entire blind spot now since they are shooting out the sides. The sensors will “work” as everyone will point out but they won’t be hitting the spots they are supposed to.

Wow. Personally, I’m now no longer interested in them for that reason. If it’s a safety system that integrates with the vehicle in that way, no cosmetic improvement is worth it, in my opinion.

Wow. Has anyone tested this?

Edit: Also, I wonder if the sensor mount inside can be modified to sit more perpendicular. It’s not a killer, but it would be nice if we could get it to work.

You mean a safety system that isn’t even necessary and isn’t standard equipment? It’s not just cosmetic for all of us. I’ve caught my tail lights several times on trail walls, causing unnecessary damage to the body. These should prevent that.

Seat belts and air bags weren’t “necessary” a few decades ago. I’ve caught taillights, mirrors, bumper corners, and most everything else on rocks and trees as well. Most of us get to the trails by way of interstates, not with our trail ride on a trailer. I’ll happily have more safety equipment in exchange for occasionally replacing a taillight.
