Oracle LED Tail light hardware already rusting after a month

[Dusty78]

If you have a 22 Gladiator without the LED package I wouldn’t recommend the Oracle LED tail lights. For one as we are all aware they are not plug and play like they are advertised. You have to install a second relay that might or might not work. Also the hardware quality used by Oracle is no good. The screws already started to rust and transferred some surface rust to the bed of my Gladiator. I live in Charlotte NC so it’s not like we have salt on our roads. I reinstalled the factory tail lights that were on the vehicle for 5 months which have zero signs of rust. Buyer beware

The rust on the jeep is actually the screw head from the lights rubbing through the paint on your jeep, and that bare metal starts to rust. I pointed this out very early to oracle and it seems it hasn't been addressed. Easy fix is bend the jeep sheet metal away from the screw head a bit so they don't rub. I'd get some paint and fix the rust spot on the jeep ASAP.

I’ve already requested a refund from the seller. I no longer have the patience to keep trying to get these to work.

I am sure the replacement parts are going to rust just like the parts you are replacing. If you’re going to build something take some pride and use quality material. People are willing to pay more for quality. What we are not willing to pay for is inferior parts.

The prime example is AEV. You pay more but are getting a very high quality part.

Actually, after we had a couple customers with these concerns we changed to a 304 stainless style.

We have these taillights and while we have had no issues with them ours as well are rusting only after 2 months.

Can you advise when this changed occurred? I’d assume if you bought a pair in 2024 this would be the new batch with the stainless style?

Good question. Thanks for asking. Anything past 6/2023 would have that style.

Thanks. I checked mine which are 5/24 and they do indeed have that. Appreciate it.
