Troubleshooting Halogen 5882-504 Flush Mount Tail Lights for Jeep Gladiator JTUpdated 12 days ago

How to Determine Lamp Type:

  • Identifying whether your vehicle has LED or Halogen tail lamps is simple. You can easily tell by the position of the Reverse Lamp.

    For LED Lamps: The Reverse Lamp is located in the center of the lamp assembly.

    For Halogen Lamps: The Reverse Lamp is positioned at the bottom of the lamp assembly.


Signal Out Error Occurs:

If you encounter a signal out error, make sure the included resistors are properly plugged in as demonstrated in the installation video.

Reverse Light Strobes or Shuts Down:

This issue can arise when the Jeep is factory-set to detect a specific wattage from the factory taillights. Halogen reverse light bulbs draw 18w, while the ORACLE reverse light draws 11w. The disparity is detected by the Jeep's system, which subsequently shuts down the circuit. It's important to note that not all Jeep models are configured this way, and we're unable to identify which ones are affected.

To resolve this issue, you can reach out to customer service to receive these resistors. Resistors need to be connected to the ORACLE Taillight reverse light wires, as shown below.
