WTF just tried purchasing these and shipping is over $100 to Toronto. Sure that includes $25 for duties, but $75+ for shipping.? Yeah, no thanks.

No, the current needs to be evenly distributed on both sides to avoid bulb error.
I wish I understood this. Just can't get my head around why you couldn't crimp the wires together to lead wire going to the courtesy light positive? I don't understand how the application of current needs to be so evenly distributed if the wire taps are going to be on different locations on the wire and the grounds are just fender bolts on opposite sides of the car. Maybe I just don't understand LED enough?
Unfortunately, we can't control the international shipping fees and duties/taxes of the service carriers. Sorry it's inconvenient!WTF just tried purchasing these and shipping is over $100 to Toronto. Sure that includes $25 for duties, but $75+ for shipping.? Yeah, no thanks.
I agree. This should be no different than tying 2 led pod lights or 2 headlight halos together.I wish I understood this.

What's the size of the box? Surely they can't be that large/heavy to warrant a $75 shipping fee via UPS. I ship back and forth all the time cross border with my company via UPS and I'm having a hard time understanding the cost structure. All good though, just a large barrier to purchasing these when the shipping accounts for over 50% of the cost of these unitsUnfortunately, we can't control the international shipping fees and duties/taxes of the service carriers.

Did you pull the vent out to mount the light or get to it from the fender well? Any pictures of the actual light/mount?Well sh*t. Thats a lot nicer than what i did. You guys should have released these months ago and saved me some time!
I dont want to hijack Oracles thread, but i did the lights behind the vent. If you want more information feel free to shoot me a PM!Did you pull the vent out to mount the light or get to it from the fender well? Any pictures of the actual light/mount?
We don't have all our pictures yet to show the ground; but if you watch until the end of the road test video, you can see that the door does not block the useful illumination of the step and of the ground.Cool concept, looks trick. But it seems to me that placement and purpose are self-defeating. i.e., the lights come on when you open the door, but the light is blocked by the open door. Kinda like an illuminated rifle scope that only turns on when the dust caps are on.
Oracle or anyone else got any pictures of what the ground illumination looks like with the door open?
I'm considering these as part of my rock light setup. That seems much more practical to me.
Per the video and my understanding, I believe the lights come on when you hit the unlock button on the remote, not just when you open the door.Cool concept, looks trick.

Thanks for your comments! We are excited to see photos and hear more thoughts when all the pre-orders go out to members. We're confident that you'll like the look in person and will see the functionality that these offer.I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. The lights are the same height as the door hinge. The housing contours to the pre-existing curvature of the Jeep. I'd rather have a slightly longer/wider housing unit that looks OEM, than a small awkward housing unit that sticks out like a sore thumb.
I understand this isn't for everyone, similar to 3k front/rear bumpers isn't for everyone. The lights are better than what a vast majority currently have ... nothing. It's an additional 'safety' feature, by adding another turn signal to the side of the Jeep.
If the door blocks a little light when opened, it's not a game-changer. I'd rather have full visibility when entering my vehicle than exiting. I'm aware of what I am parking near/over, more so than what has appeared under my vehicle upon returning.
The videos show what to expect when you purchase the lights. I'll give them credit for showing detailed information. How many items have been purchased by looks alone, without seeing how they work?
I'm looking forward to the addition, as I preordered the lights.
Once I dip the badge and install the smoked side markers, I will have nothing but a Sting-Grey and Black Jeep.
