@ORACLElights - is there an updated version of this for 2024 grill? OR a 4-lights version

On 2024 grills the stock camera is all the way up on the corner of the middle slot leaving no room for installing this light. Hence it would be great if you can offer a 4 light version - to skip the center and install it on 1,3,5, and 7th slots.

Since the inception of the pre-runner light ORACLE product, they've done 3-light setups/kits. From what I can tell from the wiring harnesses, they are the same for the JL-specific, JT-specific, and universal grille pre-runner kits. Offering a 4- or 6-light option would increase the complexity of manufacturing various wiring harnesses for most likely minimal return on investment.

While it's not necessarily as cost-effective from a consumer standpoint to do so, you could theoretically buy two of the existing 3-light universal pre-runner kits to do a 4- or 6-light setup for the 2024+ Wrangler grilles. If you went with a 4-light setup, you would want to protect the unused plug from the elements.

With my 2021 JLUR 4xe that has the TrailCam, I wanted a 7-light option, but I knew that there would need to be some modification/compromise necessary to achieve this look if I were to use the provided wiring harnesses for the pre-runner kits. If I had the 2024+ JLUR 4xe, I would've went with a 6-light option due to the slightly modified position of the TrailCam and grille inserts.

With this all in mind, it would be nice to see @ORACLElights offer customers the ability to buy individual pre-runner lights to replace any broken/defective lights or provide existing customers the option to expand upon the 3-light base set (but implementation of the additional light(s) would require modification by the end-user via splicing or custom harness fabrication). Maybe, they already offer this sort of scenario, but I'd imagine that it would be on a case-by-case basis through their customer/product support department.

So spent an hour or so installing these just to find out they either don’t work or the harness is bad. Tested it straight to the battery but nothing. Ordered a new replacement set from Amazon. Will say not very happy with the way they attach with your zip ties as the honeycomb in the grill is not exactly the same all the way across so one light sits a little bit different than the others which is a little bit annoying to me aesthetically. Also having called in multiple times, I wasn’t really able to get a straight answer as to where to wire these so that they run every time the running lights are on and the headlights are on. And I’ve seen a few people post different stories about any advice would be appreciated.

Bummer to hear that you're having some installation issues. How many LED light modules are you trying to install on your grille? I installed lights in all 7 slots, and I needed to modify the grille inserts a little bit to allow for some of the lights to sit up as high as possible in the vertical grille slots. Anyway, I briefly described what I did for the install in this post.

Since these are styled to be universal among several different auto makers and vehicle models, the ORACLE Pre-Runner Style LEDs aren't perfect for any specific vehicle, but they work well for the Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU. When comparing this version to the original model that ORACLE offered, these are practically perfect.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a DM.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll pass this along to the design team and get their thoughts. Front cameras do get in the way sometimes. But they are great to have!

I was crimping and recrimping my poor parking lights thinking it was user/install error when I bought mine a year ago. none would work either. the harness was bad. they sent a new one and its been flawless since. there was a break in the ground side of the extended piece of the harness (after the plastic clip, not on the LED side of the harness) that was not visible and inside the sheathing.
