Reviews for Oracle Lighting 5874-504 Rear Bumper LED Reverse Lights for 18-22 Jeep Wrangler JL
Lights are great. I had someone do the install as it was beyond my limited ability. As with some others, the power into the lights caused issues. Work. Flash left and right and the. Shut down completely. Ended up buying a programmer from ECRI and issue solved by programming taillights to LED. Work perfectly.
Love the great light output with these! However, it wasn’t as easy as Oracle claimed it would be. Very intensive with spare tire, bumper, and inner fender removal necessary. It’s worth it, though, to be able to see when I’m backing up.
It appears it will provide better lighting when backing up... at least I hope it will
I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler rubicon with oe steel bumpers. I had just changed out my exhaust muffler to an axle back system, 1 clamp to loosen and 4 hanger bolts to take out. Now there is enough room to use a thin wall deep 7mm socket on a 8 in extension to get the reflector screws out, it’s tight but doable. Had to file the drivers side to fit that’s the only reason I gave it 4 stars. Once I took the muffler out it took about 15 min a side to replace the reflectors with the lights. I used the original screws. I had already wired under the bumper reverse lights so I just wired to them. Taking off the back bumper was not needed
I have a Rubicon with metal bumpers. If you don’t have a Dremel that you can sand the edges down it’s not fitting. About an hours worth of extra work. But bright light so there’s a plus.
2019 Rubicon - Install went ok, except no way to get the screw in to secure the light into place. Used two-sided tape and a pinch of super glue. Wanted to solder wires, but not enough length of wire and size of light harness made it more difficult - so stayed with t-clips. Love the brightness and 4 weeks in so far all is good.
First, let me say I love the extra light at night and that it basically looks stock. That being said just take your bumper off! I do have the factory steel bumper, but I also have a lift in my shop to work under. After spending 30 minutes and still not having one screw out, I took the bumper off. In the time I spent struggling with a u-joint on a 1/4 drive ratchet, I could have had both lights in.
Great functionality, very bright. If you have a steel bumper, the driver side light is too big for the opening. Needed to grind the light down maybe 1/8 inch to fit. Not the biggest issue, but inconvenient.
First off be prepared to take your rear bumper off. Secondly the taps that come the kit are the typical cheap parts that won’t last. Don’t use them. I have no idea why but my left side light wouldn’t sit flush in hole. I had to dremel off about 1/64 off edge or hole on bumper, the. Light sat flush. Looks great, and put a huge amout of light out.
Looks nice and adds the brightness the stock LED reverse lights were missing. As others have said, remove the rear bumper, much easier to get to the screw holding the reflectors. Plus, it allows you to clean out some of those hard to reach places in the rear. I’d also run the screw in and out before installing the new lights as the screw is in a hard to reach spot. Swivel of universal joint are a necessity.
Only gripe, the wire provided is about a foot too short to work on the lights comfortably. The T connector is also not my first choice so I ran my own wiring and soldered and heat shrink wrapped the connections in place of using the provided wiring and connectors. Hopefully I won’t have the water issues others mentioned.
