Let me know also. Have same problem but with QuakeLED taillights, contacted Oracle and they said it was Quakes problem and Quake said it was Oracles problem. Took it to a specialty shop for installs and they couldn’t solve either. Suspect a resistor needs to be wired in to reduce wattage to backup lights but I don’t know.
But my aftermarket LED taillights worked perfectly without a Tazer (they were plug and play as advertised, even though my stock taillights were halogen). So I haven’t needed a tazer and the backup lights were sold as plug and play with any taillights.
The resistor included with the aftermarket LED tail light was what was causing the flickering. The Jeep doesn't see a tail light change when going to halogen to the Quake LED tail light (in my case) because the in-line resistor tricks the canbus into thinking it still has the halogen. The resistor causes the flicker. Removing it solved my flicker, but then the jeep "sees" the taillight as LED. That is why changing the taillight value with the tazer solved it for me.
My buddy did it for me. It involved using a small pin tool to remove the plate that holds the pins in, then gently pulling the wires to make sure the pins were all set to their proper set points, then replacing the plate to hold them in place. The pins were all the same length when he was done.
Hmm interesting. I have a slightly hard time imagining this tool and how to take apart the plastic part of the harness (but I admit to not having a lot of experience with electrical wiring stuff). Definitely something I'd need to see a picture or video of to understand it better.
Hello, yes they should be even. You can take a small set of needle nose pliers and gently pull the ones that are slightly pushed in, out to match the rest.Hmm interesting.

All I've done is take it out of the box, but taking a look at my harness now and I'm a bit worried about what I have. I had found one other thread about this and was gonna copy and paste it...turns out your'e the OP! lol
What do you think about this?
It's not as bad as your pics in https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...rness-for-rear-bumper-leds.74227/post-1546165, but I can't say it looks great either.
So they're supposed to be completely even? If so, are the longest ones the "correct" ones? Sounds like I should tag @ORACLElights just in case, since on https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...rness-for-rear-bumper-leds.74227/post-1549635 they also said they should be even?
Thanks for the quick response. So just tried that and they look much more even overall now. Is this "good enough"? I was worried about pulling them too much and harming something. Is the ultimate test just if the harness clicks into place?
Good to go! Apologies for the inconsistency there.Thanks for the quick response. So just tried that and they look much more even overall now. Is this "good enough"? I was worried about pulling them too much and harming something. Is the ultimate test just if the harness clicks into place?
That looks good now! I put dielectric grease on all my connections whenever I'm pulling plugs apart also.Thanks for the quick response. So just tried that and they look much more even overall now.

I've never used that before, basically for protecting anything that could be exposed to the elements? This stuff? https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-81150-Dielectric-Tune-Up-Grease/dp/B000AL2RI2/
Yup, that's the stuff. I use it to protect connections on electrical connections/plugs on my Jeep and my motorcycles. Helps to protect and keep them and keep a good connection.
