So I did Oracles advise and put in LED reverse light bulbs and now everything works perfect. It was overloading with the factory halogen back up bulbs
Glad to hear you are back up and running after making that switch, Dylan! Feel free to reach out if we can assist you again in the future.

I spliced right into the taillight. I reached out to Oracle and haven’t heard a response yet but when I do I’ll update the thread
Hi Dylan, would love to hear the update, I just installed mine yesterday, and they intermittently, they seem to light up as soon as I put the lever in reverse, the second after I feel the transmission engaging (in reverse) they go off...

see post 17. And with the new led bulbs I haven’t had a single issue.And the oracles made a world of difference backing up at night.

I have the factory LED lights in my 2020 JL. Installed the Oracle bumper reverse lights that use the clip ons to the wires. Here’s the issue. I have back up camera now but it didn’t work at first. Now the reverse lights turn on when the shifter is put in reverse but when the brake pedal is released the stock reverse lights turn off. I’ve disconnected the Oracle lights and still doing this. There is also a check engine light too. Wth?

Likely canbus related. Since you have the factory LED tails, the TIPM is looking for a much less draw than what the reverse lights are combined with the OEM tails.

Do you have the tow package equipped?

All good now, I had to wire it to the trailer lights.

Having similar issue, but in my scenario I am using Oracle's LED tail lights instead of OEM, so no bulb to go back to. Sent a PM. Hopefully this can be resolved.

I have the halogen setup and the oracles did the same thing. Flashed a time or two and then shut off. However, I changed the settings in the dash (tazer mini helped) to led taillights and they have worked so far.

I am planning on getting A set of oem LED taillights soon, and do not have the towing package. Will this cause any issues?

Shouldn't cause any issues. You'd need to have the Tazer set this way when you switch to the OEM LEDs anyway.

You might find the new Flush Tails more attractive, check those out here: https://www.oraclelights.com/collections/jl-led-accessories/products/jlflush
