For those that installed these kiwi, what are you doing for fog lights?
I used these for my DRL & Turn Signals (I originally had the Halogen lights, not LED)

Note: It says "Does not fit" on Amazon, but they do fit perfectly...

They've worked beautifully for 4+ months now, no flickering, etc.

Those that have been running the KIWI Master lights for several months, have you had any issues since installing over the past few months? Any problems with moisture, lights dimming, cutting out? I was looking at the Oracle lights but I'll be honest, the KIWI is much more affordable.

Let’s put it this way - I bought the Oracle LED bulbs and eventually tossed them out and replaced them with the kiwis.

I will admit though, that I do notice a tiny flicker with the kiwi masters from time to time.

I will probably replace them at some point when either a) another 9” affordable aftermarket option is released or b) when the Mopar LED package isn’t so expensive.

Why did you toss the Oracles?
I would have been glad to take them off your hands :)

There was issues with them (UFOs shining everywhere) and let’s just say Oracle’s customer service / warranty policy isn’t the best

He is not referencing the Oculus 9”. Believe he is referencing LED bulb in halogen housing.

I'm ordering a pair of this and I want to make sure I don't have any issues with condensation getting in. What's the best way to make sure that doesn't happen before I get these installed?

They come pre-sealed, just bolt them in place...

For the people who hooked them up to aux switches, any issues? I assume you wired both to 3 or 4 (15amp). Just want to make sure I'm not messing with anything. I have pod lights on aux 3, so my aux 4 is going to be free for a long time most likely. I have a 22" lightbar I've been wanting to install but I have the stock bumper so there's no rush with figuring that one out.

Got mine installed tonight and it was a pretty simple install. Overall I'm quite impressed for the price and I'm happy with them for now. I do plan on upgrading to Morimoto's down the road. I have no clue if they're adjusted correctly. Trying to adjust them inward and outward seemed to have no affect the beam pattern. Seems like it just made that adjustment screw looser to where the light wanted to move around.

When I installed them, I tightened the screws all the way down and then adjusted from there for the horizontal line height. Anyone else do it this way?

My jeep is manual and I have the kiwis - I don’t know why this would change the installation though?
Do you have a problem with the drls when you out the ebrake down? How do you have them wired

Should have asked this before I removed everything. With a Sport, is a resistor needed. I’m knee deep into this.

I did not need a resistor when I installed these on my wife's JL.
