I've had mine in three Gladiators so far.
Correct, one harness - you can do either left or right tail light, I had it in the left on my first ones, and moved it to the right side for this one so I could run a wire and diode to operate them with an aux switch as well as being in reverse.

One "adapter harness", the two lights each have a pigtail, then a longer wire that runs across the back to reach which-ever tail light you choose.
How did you wire the aux switch? That would be nice to turn them on at night when hooking a trailer etc. Though I was also thinking can the taser mini control the reverse lights?

That's why I did what I did - hooking up trailer, loading and strapping my car onto trailer, etc.

I had to modify the tail light connector/adapter, and used a diode setup.

The white wire comes from aux switch to one of the diode inputs.

The output goes to the bumper mounted lights.
One input is from the aux switch, the other input is from the tail light harness adapter.

For the reverse LED lights in the reflector, do I need a wiring adapter for both sides (your site just says packages 1 for $38) or is the reverse light wire long enough to reach the opposite side?
Only one is needed! Connect the adapter between the factory tail light plug and the factory tail light using the supplied locking connectors. No cutting or splicing required.

Unless you do as I did to also run them via one of the aux switches. Piece of cake though - I modded your harness, the Jeep wiring is unharmed/unmodified.

For a stock install, piece of cake!

The reflector is required by law. If you aren't in a night time accident or there's no state inspection you likely get by. But they are technically the law. .
Tor brought back a 3 year old thread to tell us you don't like lights you don't have
I still love my oracle backup lights and use them at night to hitch or load me car hauler.
They are on my third JT
Easily fixed with a small patch of reflective tape on the bumper - or better yet, hidden in the gap under the tail gate; no one can say you don't have adequate reflector area.

Actually, I might need to do that, just to add visibility. I have a different set of lights in that spot - proper rear facing LED flood cubes wired to my aux switch; fantastic for loading motorcycles on a 3-rail in the dark, lighting up camp, or as chase lights.

Some cuts here with factory reflective tail lights do that for better visibility in the hills and curves around here.
