Reviews for Oracle Lighting 5858-023 LED Cargo Light Module with Built-In Emergency Light for 18-21 Jeep Wrangler JL
What a no brainer. Although Jl’s should already come with something like this I appreciate Oracle finding the right spot to use a space perfect for lighting.
This is a great accessory. It makes a huge difference in the amount of light in the hatch, and also illuminates the area in back of the Jeep. The emergency flasher is a great idea, as well.
Installation was very easy. I had a bit of a hard time getting the screws to start, but I thought they were T15 heads... turns out they're hex heads, and once I got a long hex key they went in easily. One person complained that they were too short for the driver's side mount, and that's the one I was having trouble with at first. And old-fashioned hex key (rather than something bigger around) is your friend.
I have a dash-cam in the back and so I had the 12V socket switched. I changed it back to always-on for the light (and ran the camera wire up front). The round push button switches for the light and the hazard light are themselves lighted, which is very convenient, but some people have suggested they're concerned about battery drain. I'm tempted to make it switched again because of this, but that seems less convenient, so I haven't decided. I also haven't driven at night yet, so I'm curious as to whether those lights will be bothersome. If so, it's an easy fix to move the fuse back from F43 to F45.
To sum up: I really like this light. It's bright. It looks great -- built in! And it was designed to be simple to install.
Fast delivery; arrived much sooner than I expected and with zero damage.
Installation was very easy and done pretty quickly. The light works very well and illuminates the interior and exterior of the Jeep. The hazard light is a good touch as well.
Overall good stuff
great product. if you don't want to run the battery down and want to leave it plugged in, move the f43 fuse as per below https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/12-volt-or-usb-always-on.8688/
This is a MUST have. So easy to install. So bright, and one of the best parts... it looks like it was always meant to be there. Looks factory.
Must have light for all JL models. Very bright and compliments the cabin lights. Hardly notice the wires when tucked away.
Like it, but concerned that it could run the battery down if left plugged in.
This is a nice light for a real problem. My only gripe is that for $100 they could give you more cable stays and screws that are actually long enough to mount the light. How much money did they save by making the two screws an 1/8" shorter than they should be? it only comes with 5 cable stays. If you want a neat install you'll want 8-10.
NOT WORTH IT. This item ships direct from Oracle and as others have stated in their reviews, the T15 mounting screw included with the hardware needs to be longer for the driver's side hole on the light module. It does not reach the threads on the windshield wiper motor. I contacted Oracle directly about this issue (that I'm sure they're aware of by now) and I was told in their email response "If you are needing longer screws you will have to source them locally. Sorry about that!". So, buyer beware. If you purchase this Oracle light, you'll have to go find your own mounting screws.
As others have stated the drivers side bolt is way too short. I had to run to Ace hardware and get a longer bolt. The plastic bumbers on the led light do not come in contact with the metal windshield wiper bracket it bolts to. You have to be careful not to over torque the bolts as it will crack the plastic housing due to the gapping. For this amount of money it should be flawless. Luckily I added spacers and stainless steel hex head bolts that actually fit. I've purchased oracle products in the past and this is honestly equivalent to chinese junk.
