Reverse lights in rear bumper question

[CRZYCDN]

For ease of install get their harness to hook directly up to the rear break light harness
And for extra points... I also wired to an AUX switch so I can turn them on without having to be in reverse! (Just wire up a couple diodes in line so you don't get the feedback)

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.

I forget which side was so difficult for me. One side was very easy and the other side was terrible.

Unless they have updated their design in the past year....yeah the left will be a tight fit. I'd recommend taking the bumper off, then you can grind the light/case a bit and the hole in the bumper...(then shoot it with some paint).

lots of info on this within prior threads. you should be good to go. can be installed without bumper removal i believe however some like to learn by breaking stuff down which is cool as well

@TopGunViper
Shot a few pictures last night of the factory reverse lights vs the Oracle bumper lights.
Rear camera views:

And a couple outside shots with the phone. The iPhone camera is doing a pretty good job trying to fix the low light, but the foliage on each side of the street tells the story.

That does show a lot more light output with these lights.

For sure you can do it without taking the bumper off. If your luck small hands and the right tools you can get the world's smallest bolt back in to hold the light.... but the time wasted/frustration it can be just as quick and easy to remove the bumper. Enjoy the adventure either way!

i agree with this. it was a little tricky and there’s at least one member on here that claims he could do one side in 10 min iirc however he’d done a couple and i wasn’t that dexterous. if you like tinkering, may want to remove bumper.

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.

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!

Add back some red reflectors to stay legal/safe.
