Reviews for Oracle Lighting 5874-504 Rear Bumper LED Reverse Lights for 18-22 Jeep Wrangler JL

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.

I love these except after 4 weeks water in both. Quadratec was great A+++ sent me a replacement for both light and I fixed and sent back. Super bright back up lights I hope I hope they stay dry this time.

The lights are great. They significantly improve viability while in reverse. My only complaint is that the wiring provided is just barely long enough which makes it a bit of a challenge to splice into the vehicle’s wiring harness. Also, the wire clips provided are junk. I highly recommend splicing, soldiering, and heat shrink wrapping the wires. Finally, the bolt holding the reflector into the bumper is a huge pain to remove even with a flexible socket adapter, so practice patience. LOL

Actually a lot more complicated install than the videos let on. Some of the retailers on YT said the same thing and recommended taking the bumper off. I used a screwdriver with a flexible shaft and a 7mm ratchet bit to get the factory screw out. Getting the replacement screws in was near impossible. I tried the T Taps into the purple and orange wires in the taillight assembly as stated in videos and instructions. No dice. Then I went into the JL forums and found that the wiring before the harness connection is a better option. On the left (drivers side) it's the white and beige wire you want to tap and one of the black grounds. On the right side it's the white and violet and one of the black grounds you'll want to tap into. The WB and WV wires are your drive wires and will connect to the red/orange wire on the Oracle lights. Black to black. I don't blame Oracle for the complexity of the install, but the video instructions didn't work for me. Bad factory design for this reflector spot.

Beware, these lights don't fit on driver side Steel rear bumper and you have to perform modifications. I had to use die grinder all around edge of reflector opening , also trim the actual light and then touch up paint on both. Oracle should do a better job of communicating this !

Great Product (once installed!) but… the instructions are weak, the wiring length is “just adequate” and getting the reflectors out of the bumper and the new lights in, is almost impossible - per the instructions. Attachment hardware was not automotive grade (separate screw & washer instead of made as one - hardware store style) and even with a u-joint socket and long extension, you will need to tape the screw into the 7mm socket (or stick them together w/ chewing gum) and then patiently try (and try again) to get the tiny screw to thread into each new light module! Drop the screw down into the bumper? Remove the bottom 7mm screws from the plastic bumper cover to fish them out! A good “head light” to see the work area is a must and an extendable magnet helps, too! Better grade hardware and better instructions (with tips on installing the tiny screws) could make this a simpler install. Great product when finished, BUT - you have been warned!

One light went right in. The other I had to grind down all the sides to force it in. I ordered these months before my Jeep actually arrived. I installed these the day after I did the smoked tail lights, sooo the wiring process is different(the wires are different on the new tail lights. I will just be running these to an Aux switch. M
