ORACLE Oculus Bi-LED Headlight Upgrade for the Jeep JL / JT

[plaidvader]

I thought that only applies to Canadian Wranglers with LED's that are replaced with Oculus lights. I know my headlights don't come on till either the Auto engages due to darkness or I manually put them on so I wouldn't think the 6V DRL issue wouldn't apply to a halogen replacement as the DRL halo would get 12V from sharing power with the cigar lighter.

Thanks Buzzguy, I was under the impression it was if you switched from Halogens to any Led this would be an issue, hoping you are correct.

As a rep for Oracle Lighting I am sorry to hear you are upset with our service. As we stated last week we were working to duplicate this issue on our Jeep JL with our Oculus headlight, and we are struggling to do so.

As I am sure the product specialist told you today, you actually dont have the Jeep Wrangler JL Oculus headlight but our 5769 JK headlights. This is why various troubleshooting has not worked as of yet. As we were basing all this off the Oculus headlight.

I assure everyone that Oracle does its best to find the resolution to any problem you bring to our attention. Sometimes this does take time and we need to complete proper troubleshooting to do so.

Any other questions or concerns please let me know and we will be happy to relay this to the techs and find a resolution.

Whoa, let's back up here a minute. What is this about not actually having the JL Occulus lights but instead I have the JK headlights? I have not been told any such thing. I have been told that the technical team has been unable to replicate the issue on the JL that they have at the shop.

The product label from the box is for 5839-504.

I was contacted yesterday regarding sending out a replacement light. I had another question for customer service that I am awaiting clarification.

did you remove the DRL wiring to see if it eliminated the issue with interference?

I've tested it several times. Unplug the fuse adapter from the box, no interference. Plug it back in, interference.

maybe run without DLR until Oculus can figure out a fix (if you legally can).

Hopefully there will be a resolution soon.

So I haven't posted anything publicly for the past week as I have been having some dialogue with Oracle.

As noted above, they asked for my contact info and did reply with another post on the following Monday. No phone calls however.

They still do not know how to proceed and committed to contacting me by this past Friday with some sort of resolution. This past Monday I also discovered that not only do I get the radio interference, but the left headlight has no high beam. I've been wondering why the high beam illumination seemed just mediocre and while driving to work that morning while I had the high beams on I hit a patch of fog and it was quite clear why the high beam light output was lacking. I contacted Oracle on Tuesday to start their RMA process for the defective light and discovered that the warranty had some less than customer friendly requirements.

They will not provide you with a replacement light when the purchased light is defective. You must remove it and return it for repair. You are responsible for shipping! If the returned light is not able to be repaired, then they will send you a replacement. There is no compensation for the effort required to remove and replace the defective light, in my case, removal of bumper and winch and doing it all over again when the light is returned.

I called the customer service person on Thursday and expressed my displeasure and spoke with a supervisor. I also requested a complete refund as they are unable to correct the issue with the interference with my radio. I was promised that the supervisor would call me on Friday before close of business with a technical person also on the line to provide me with a plan for resolution. As I expected, no call or email was received!

At this point I has removed the Oracle Occulus lights and am back to the OEM halogen housings with LED bulbs, certainly less than ideal but at least I have two functional headlights that don't interfere with my radio.

I certainly will not purchase Oracle products in the future.

I will provide an update should they somehow come through and provide the needed service recovery.

So here is the latest from my issues. The Oracle lights have been removed from my JL. Oracle contacted me on Monday and, as an exception, offered to send me a replacement light for the non-functioning high beam light. They were also sending me a pre-paid UPS label to return the defective light. As I had already removed the lights and with the chance that the light I return could be repaired and sent back to me, I elected to decline the replacement light. No sense installing the replacement and then needing to swap it out for the repaired light a week or two later.

So at this point I have the shipping label and just need to package the defective light and ship it back to Oracle.

There are no updates as far as the radio interference from the halos.

My Jeep had halogens: when I replaced them with the Oculus LED’s the new halo DRLs don’t flicker, the main lights flicker.
You’re saying your main beams don’t come on until they kick in on auto, or you switch them on. What does your Jeep use for DRLs from the factory?? Are you sure they don’t come on when you put it in drive (auto trans) or release the park brake (6 speed)? If not, you shouldn’t have any flickering issues. If they come on in those circumstances then they’ll flicker.

I have a Sahara with that has halogens as well. I had a buddy check before and I just double checked by myself now. It doesn't seem that there's anything going on in the main headlight for the drl. The drl on mine is the white light on the fender flare. That said I've done some more reading and it does seem that there should be something going on in the headlight pretty much all the time. Did you check how yours worked before changing?

Hmm, interesting that ours came with different specs from the factory. They must’ve changed something: either regionally, or different model years or VIN break update or whatever. Good for you as it sounds like it’ll make the switch easier.

Before I changed anything my main beams of my headlight worked as follows:

accessories on - no lights

Engine running, park brake applied, headlight switch off - no lights

Engine running, park brake released, headlight switch off - headlights on at low power

Headlight switch on - I’m gonna assume you can guess what happens here

Oracle has come through with sending me a replacement headlight as well as some custom harnesses to place between the halo pigtails and the remainder of the halo harness to see if these will suppress the radio interference that I have been experiencing. Unfortunately I'm rarely going out so until this whole COVID19 mess is over I really won't know if they help or not.

Thanks to Oracle for continuing to work on this issue.

So I installed the Oracle lights on my Jeep and I notice a slight difference in color temp on each light. Has anyone ran into this problem. I went ahead and ordered a new pair straight from Oracle lighting, I had them replaced and I still notice a difference, it's definitely less than the first batch of lights I installed before. I'll post the pictures. Any ideas. I'm just going to leave it be since I don't want to it to deal with any more but it does bother me a bit. Let me know what you folks think.

I vaguely see what you’re referring to. If it bothers you, it bothers you. Have you tried contacting ORACLE again?

We are happy to say the Oculus ColorSHIFT™ RGB+W Headlights are NOW Availble

ColorSHIFT Oculus Headlights feature 3-Tiered RGB features in the lamps:

• Outer Halo Ring (RGB+W)
• Inner Halo Ring (RGB)
• Projector Demon Eye (RGB)

White DRL Mode:

RGB+W ColorSHIFT™ Outer Halo:

RGB Inner Halo and Accent Bezel:

RGB Projector "Demon Eye":

Each LED feature has a separate cable output and can be connected together so all 3 create the same color or set up as 3 separate Channels or “zones” depending on the user preference and the ColorSHIFT controller selected. Please note that these features are intended for off-road “show” use only and are not compliant for street use.

The White DRL has its own wiring harness (same as the original Oculus) that connects to the fuse box with an add-a-circuit for easy and safe integration. The DRL will come on when the engine is running or can be connected to a switch (including the factory Aux switches) for additional user control.
