Not like I do that too often tho so I could also just get a cheap small flood light with a magnet and stick it on when needed. The cheap and easy solution: I have some cheapo LED bulbs only in my reverse lights that just go in like the stock bulb with no modifications and they are bright as hell. Before I put in LED headlights, my reverse lights were brighter than my headlights
Warren99 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Ha! I'll just do that first then. I need to figure out why my reverse lights randomly stopped working tho, probably the switch on the side of the trans... I'll look into that another time it can wait

Warren99 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Right, I'll check there too. My parts MJ still had that tailight harness in, and had an additional one just laying in the bed. I also basically the entire harness from the engine bay, so I pretty much have an unlimited supply of oem color/size wires
gogmorgo Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 5 hours ago, fiatslug87 said: Their literature specifically says “Another option that ORACLE Lighting will offer is Standard or Tinted Lenses. The standard lens option will have a more original OE style appearance while the tinted option will have a more aggressive blacked-out styling. ” I interpreted this as meaning there’s only the two options, the ones with coloured lenses and then the dark lenses. I think what was being suggested here was we might be able to peel the black casing off and add the OE lens or the Key Parts repops on top and have LEDs underneath factory lights. I personally doubt it would be as simple as that, and it’s a lot of extra work and money over just putting LED bulbs in the factory sockets.
acfortier Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Curious as to, "why now?" for Oracle to make these. Maybe it'll spur the reproduction of other highly sought after parts that are no longer available.
89 MJ Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 As of an hour ago on a post that @Muncher made on FB a while back. I like them better now that I am seeing the actual product vs the renderings, but I still prefer the OEM taillights.

I bought some off ScAmazon and they weren't even as bright as the standard incandescent bulbs despite being advertised as "super bright".
Muncher Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 They look pretty good. I'll be buying them. And it'd be even better if they make a chrome trim option.
acfortier Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Those don't look bad at all. When I had a Gladiator, I bought their flush mount taillights, since the stock ones are awful looking.

I’ll have to pull mine out to look, I have 2 different brands, the ones I have now are slightly brighter than the others but I’ll share both brands
ghetdjc320 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 I had custom housings made for my MJ with new key parts lenses. I opted to change the sockets as to something that would actually seal up properly. These look great. I like the tinted lenses the best. You would think it would be easy to repop a cargo lamp also. Then we’re just missing a decent modern 5x7/7x6 headlight and some better looking turn signals

m2bandit Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 These look slick! I think I'd make the swap and just keep the OE ones. Judging by the other tail lights on their site I think we're looking at $300+
gogmorgo Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Definitely look better as a real item than a rendering.
Pete M Posted January 24, 2023 Author Posted January 24, 2023 I wonder how they connect to the factory harness...

Pete M Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 it made mention that the ones shown were prototypes.

Seems like the light is sucked into the bed a bit. Otherwise looks awesome! They definitely do not seem to fit quite right. They also seem a little squished looking height wise, but I’m glad there is aftermarket support coming.
