Flush Mount Style LED Tail Lights for Jeep Wrangler JL

[Dyolfknip74]

Just installed my flush mount units. No error codes, but the turn signals do not flash. My Jeep came with the LED tail lights and no BSM.

I haven't seen anyone else with this issue yet, unless I missed it in the thread.

Do you have JScan or Tazer?

I have a Tazer.

Was just chatting with Oracle, they suggest I unmarry the Tazer to see if that fixes the issue.

received and installed mine today. super easy job, had them on in about 30 min. replaced factory halogen bulbs, no dash indicator or hyper-flash issues. i guess i'll consider myself lucky that mine came stock w/crappy halogens..

ps, the back-up lights (my main gripe w/the halogens) are bright as hell! was seeing spots for a min after testing them out.

Anyone know if these are DOT Approved? I really want these, but yearly safety checks need DOT approved lights in Hawaii.

DOT doesn’t approve lights. These are not technically DOT compliant unless you add the included reflectors.

Unmarried my Tazer, turn signals now work, but of course I now get the Turn Signal Out errors. Ugh!
Going to go through the Tazer steps from above, crossing my fingers.
Not to beat a dead horse, but holy crap, not good quality control processes.

The backup lights alone make these worth it. I have a mini sun shining behind me when I back up.

Changing tail lights:

clear the DTC's first then toggle LED tails no/yes, toggle BSM to no/yes

full reboot and 3 sleep cycles then start the Jeep and turn left/right turn signals for at least 20 seconds each.

I'm golden now, this did the trick, thank you.

This may need redesigning of the light to place the sensor at a different angle. @ORACLElights hopefully can solve all issues.

Just to clarify, because there seems to be some confusion here. Our light has a bracket that holds the sensor at an angle the same way the factory tail light has a bracket that holds the sensor at an angle inside the factory tail light cavity.

From an exploded top view you can clearly see the despite the cover facing mostly back the sensor is installed at an angle. The same way that despite the factory cover facing mostly sideways its actually held with the factory bracket at an angle.

We also road tested this exact setup pre-production with a BSM equipped Wrangler to detect and confirm blind spot and cross traffic function with our setup.

Then why does mine only work 5% of the time?

AND come one when I get tailgaters

Then, either the angle is not at the correct degree, or the plastic between the sensor and outside is too thick or the wrong material. Maybe only the sensor end behind the Jeep, and not to the side of the Jeep, is detecting anything. The thickness/distance between the sensor and outside seems to change from one end to the other when looking at the picture you provided.

I made sure my sensors are placed as instructed. My post was in response to the experience @bkgray115 shared. That doesn't sound like a software issue, but a design/placement problem.

Just my moment of comic relief on the matter...

The XR has a spacer, about an inch or so, that pushes the tailights out, for some reason that I have not been able to find. I even went as far as to search through Jeeps website, but cannot find any mention of why, not that I thought there would be any info there.

Derp, after swapping mine its just something I overlooked and took for granted. Apologies!
