I've gone back and forth on replying to this thread because I don't like to be negative :/
However you should be reviewing threads on this forum, maybe the juice is worth the squeeze for you.
I ordered these without reading any reviews on the forum, decided they weren't worth being put on my vehicle upon the discovery that the driver side wouldn't fit without trimming the unit, my bumper, or both. This is a funny thing to me because I won't blink at scrapes and grinds even a little boop while crawling on a trail, but gotdam did this piss me off.
I won't buy another Oracle product, even though their taillights are a great option for those of us that frequent tight corners on trails (which are also now starting to show issues after a few short years [search for threads on this forum]) .
If I were wanting to put lights in the factory bumper i'd spend a little more on quality parts from reputable brands like these. There are other options too from other brands that may require a little more DIY approach than the Oracle option.
Thank you for your feedback. On the product page on the website, we do state that modification might be needed for the steel bumpers. The stamping on the bumper for that area is not always consistent. But, I can appreciate your frustration in this.

These LED Reverse Lights are extremely bright and are a great way to increase the visibility in the rear. I hope you give us another look for other areas of your vehicle that needs great lighting.

Just a word about Oracle, I have the Oracle reverse lights and noticed the condensation on the passenger side light, I contacted Oracle last week and yesterday I received the new light, they stood behind their warranty and were very responsive and fast in replacing it. The lights are extremely bright!
We appreciate the good words!

Anyone know where these lights are letting water in at?

Just ordered the Oracles with the harness.
I’ve got a 2021 Jeep wrangler Rubicon.
Should I have any issues with the drivers side fitting like I’ve seen some others have?
I have the stock plastic bumper.
There are no issues with the plastic bumpers. The reverse lights fit as expected.

The oracle lights are nice when they work. I’m going on my 3rd passenger side !😞. Also going on my 3rd set of pre runner lights from them. They work great when they work. But not lasting long at all

None... but it pays well.
I removed the oracles a month after obtaining my jeep. Not needed for factory LED lights. I noticed they ground down the sides to fit factory bumper. Did not see any water leakage. Tried selling as lightly used, but i dont think any want to deal with removing bumper and dealing with wiring

I have the factory steel bumpers on my Rubi. I read the issue of trimming the light down but since forum members report that Oracle customer service is excellent I ordered a set. Yes, I had to trim the driver side down. I would trim then test, trim some more, test, and trim even more. It got to where it would almost fit so I did what I usually do in modifications, I hit it with a rubber mallet. Let me tell you, that light will be in that bumper until the end of time! No problem it's just some trimming. I watched the Oracle install video that is the only one in which the installer doesn't remove the bumper. To that I say WITCHCRAFT! You've got to burn that guy at the stake. There's no way to do that without taking the bumper off (even with two mallets). That guy brought some next level wrenching voodoo in the shop to attach those bolts...

Seriously though, great product on both my JL and JT. I can finally see.
