I also added an inline 3A fuse to protect the whole circuit. The wire gauge is so small on the lights, that the wire would be the sacrificial link (Oracle's are only 3 Watt) on even a 5A circuit let alone 15A+.

I bought the Oracle Prerunner lights. I do not recommend. The nuts to install the LED does not fit over the connector, so you have to cut off the connectors. They are not waterproof anyways. I wrote to Oracle complaining, and they offered to let me return them before making any cuts. Now I wish I had.

The wiring harness uses 22 ga wire. Although I was extremely careful, I must have damaged the wiring during install, because I had no juice with the factory harness. I made my own harness with 16 ga wire and waterproof connectors to get juice to the grill and installed with the supplied hardware. It looked good until the washers supplied began to rust.

Now I am looking for a way to re-install them without the washers. Another thread on this site had a member who made installation hardware with his 3D printer, but he said that crumped on him. So I am still looking for a new way to re-install the lights. :headbang:
Sorry to hear this happened! I will send you a DM on how we can assist you further.

I bought the same kit months ago for my Jt. At first, they were great! The hardware they sent me must’ve been for a JL because the lights would fall through the grill openings so I had to make my own mounts which was annoying. After about 2 months, one of the lenses fell off of the lights and the black housing of the lights turned into a copper color. I tried messing with them but the cheap lights fell apart so I just took them all out. Was very unhappy!

We have a replacement process if you would like to proceed with this option. I am happy to help you with this if you would like to DM me your order information.

Out of stock, though the website doesn’t show it.
“The ORACLE Lighting 2024-2026 Jeep Wrangler JL/ Gladiator Pre-Runner Style LED Grill Light Kit - Tinted Lens is on backorder, and we don't currently have an ETA.”
I think I’ll cancel.

Has anyone here done Amber prerunner lights in the grille? Specifically those with the trail cam. I’ve seen the kits for sale that come with 3 LEDs but with the trail cam I’d need a kit with 4 lights.

for those who have done prerunner lights, how was the wiring for them?

the only kit with 4 I’ve seen for JL/JT was literally from made in China .com so I’m goin to avoid lol

the other was a somewhat universal kit from walmart of all places

Alibaba has a better warranty on the junk they sell you then you buying that same junk from a reseller locally. I learned this firsthand trying to support an American Company which simply resold me Alibaba stock at a 300% markup and would not replace after it craped out 4 weeks later.

I'm not the seller. But, according to the link I posted, it says

" Simply presses anywhere into the honeycomb grill that is found on most of the 2020-2023 Jeep Gladiator JT and some of the Jeep Wrangler JL (see pictures). These use the 3/4" bullet lights found commonly on semi trucks and trailers. You will receive the 3d printed insert adapters and led lights for each."
