The Oracle Oculus Bi-LED 9" Headlights have been designed specifically for the Jeep Wrangler JL and the Jeep Gladiator JT. They feature a single center projector lens for the low beam and high beam that outputs 3200 lumens at 5500K for a crisp cool white light. There's also an LED DRL Halo ring to add a punch of style that's sure to turn heads. The lights are a plug and play design using a factory style connector for the low and high beams, and they include a easy to install wiring harness to power the LED DRL halos. Rob shows us just how easy it is to get them installed in your Jeep in this step-by-step installation video.

GREAT explanation - Rob is awesome at taking us through it step-by-step. He is very articulate and thorough. The images are great and easy to follow as well. Thanks so much. Just purchased these lights from Quadratec, and I'm eager to get them installed!
Shout out for the heat shrink solder connectors.....genius invention. Love em.
I guess an important question is how do these compared to the factory JL LED headlights.… would appreciate it. Thx. Great video....
The Oracle lights look great and the install video was very informative. I’d love to see an install video for the LED fog lights too.
Just got these for Christmas 2021 and your instructions are right on. Thanks!
I've had these on my Gladiator for about 6 months and they're doing good so far. No flickering. Very bright. I wish the halo was a bit brighter but otherwise. Still expensive
Great install video, could not have done it any better, will definitely buy this from Quadratec.
Just installed these today, very quick and easy. All I can say is WOW they look great and it is such a huge difference compared to the halogen bulbs. It does produce a lot of heat but you can hear the fan running to keep them cool. One thing I noticed is when flicking the high beam on and off you hear a noticeable click sound. So far happy with them
Did you switch from halogen headlights? Any need for a adapter or harness?
Yes came from halogen to these. Plug and play no harnesses needed. You will have to run a small wire for the halo to the fuse box and use the included fuse splitter to tap into the cigarette lighter fuse. Very easy
Ordered these from Quadratec and they indeed were easy to install. Took about an hour and that was mostly me fiddling with the wiring routing. These lights are the bomb. Wiring the halo to the cigarette lighter fuse gives you the added safety feature of increased visibility to traffic during the day. At night they really light up the area in front of the bumper. The install video was spot on.
Thanks!
do you need to buy extra fuses
@@aidanc35 Nope. The extra fuse and connector were included. I believe the crimp connector was in there too.
@@SeaMonkey137 what size is the extra fuse mines didn’t come with one
@@ss2cold247 Pretty sure it's a 20 amp, same as the F52 fuse.
What is that orange fuse on the fuse tap wiring?
Hi guys, great video. I just bought a 2021 willys gladiator and wanted upgrade my headlights to Led, but I saw some forums say that the mopar leds no longer need to run the wire for the halos. Could you guys do a video or a reply on the install. I'd rather buy the mopar if there is no wire to run. Thanks in advance.
Mine flicker as well. I still haven’t figured out why. I’ve had them for about a month now.
Where can I get the same exact fuse tap adapter please?
Hi, great video. When i connect it using the 3 bc1 controller would i connect both outter halo to one port on the one bc1 controller or do i use 2 ports ( one for each headlight)?can i cover the exposed wires with electrical tape?
Do they fit on my 2020 jeep wrangler sport??
Will these fit a 2021 Rubicon? Thanks! Love these headlights!
My 2021 JL cam stock with HALO LED running lights. I'm assuming I don't have to do any wiring??🤔🤔
How is the reliability on these? I have been finding reviews saying Oracle in general has a low quality product and poor customer service. Strongly considering ordering these, but these reviews are troubling to say the least.
When I adjusted my lights they didn’t make a straight line across. It’s like they had a little notch on each side. Any ideas
Where can I get a replacement wire harness
My gladiator doesn’t have cigarette option, can I still use the F52 fuse for DRL?
Great Video!! I see that you used to fuses. What fuse did you use besides the 20amp.
So if one goes out for some reason, you have to replace the whole assembly?
i just got these for my wife... but is there is anyway you can show using this Alen key and make the adjustments... ty...
How do I get the halo part of the light to work without using the daytime running lights feature
Hey there. Great video! Is it the same process for Canadian applications? Do you need to get it reflashed? 😎👍🏻
So when I plug in the fuse tap, the halo DRL work but the Cigarette lighter doesn’t work. I plug the fuse in multiple ways and nothing. Any ideas?
How to switch them off completely (including the drl rings) with the jeep running, especially at night??
Is there a matching fog light set? I tried to look on the site but couldn’t tell.
Yes! They're available with or without the LED Halo Ring - www.quadratec.com/p/oracle-lighting/high-performance-20w-led-fog-lights
I followed the directions exactly and the DRL aren't working. Is a taser needed on a jl sport?
They kinda looks like creepy eyes on the front of the Jeep..BUT DO THEY WORK?
Please if you do this install at home and you decide to extend the fuse tap for the love of god solder the wires.
I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Do these headlights have the “daytime running” feature?
Would like to know where to get that piggy-back fuse from
The fuse tap is included with the Oracle Oculus lights. If you're looking for one for another project, they're available in the wiring section at most auto parts stores and online.
I purchased a pair of these from you guys. Easy install, you say? Why don't you go ahead and actually show us how to use the damn Alan key they provide to adjust the headlight beam ! One must have baby arms, because unlike any other normal headlights, Oracle made the adjustment horizontal - impossible to reach once installed. I could not even take the rubber cap off the left one.
Stupid question if I don’t want the drl halo will halo still come on when the headlights do? Thats I’m looking for.
Question: For the DRL halo ring, is it possible to get it to flash the amber color when using the turn signal / caution lights? Is this also possible with the factory LED lights?
I think the Oculus Switchback offers that option.
And in conclusion, Oracle says Canadian wiring is different. They need to be programmed with a Tazer or Jag? (OBD2 I guess) They were extremely friendly and got me an answer on the phone. I recommended that they include a note for Canadian-destined product advising of this requirement (notice to ordering Canadian resellers, a sticker on the packaging and a note on their website. Lot's of Wranglers north of the 49th parallel ... They also need to correct their packaging so it says 18-20 JL, not 2009-2019. It is correct on their website. Great lights. Anyone know who has one of these programming gizmos other than Jeep dealers? My resller doesn't although they have a shop (?)
Are you saying this will install into a Jeep JL without LED lights? as in Stock Halogens?
Yes!
Idk if anyone else has had similar issues, but Oracle's customer service has been absolute crap with me. My girlfriend had bought me these headlights as an early Christmas present (from a different retailer, sorry quadratec I still love you) and when I was installing them I found the driver's side didn't work. Long story short, its taken them nearly 4 weeks now to test the headlight (and confirm that it was broken before I received it) only to say that they no longer have any in stock and it'll be at least another month before I get a get a replacement. Im sure they're high quality if quadratec posts a whole video on the product but damn customer service has been completely disappointing.
Can you guys do a 4wd tutorial for new JL/JT owners especially with the 6 speed manual transmission. I’m a new owner with the 6sp and have read the manual but would like some real-person advice. Haven’t seen any UA-cam videos offering this advice.
sounded like something was rattling around in my headlight when I first unboxed it. has that happened to anyone else?
Nothing should really be rattling around in the headlight. If you're having an issue or you received a product that was damaged, please get in contact with our customer service team. All the contact info is here - www.quadratec.com/help/contact
Do they have this for a 2014 Jeep
no these are 9"
Do these lights work with the Australian wiring in a 2019 Rubicon JL?
They do work with the wiring 100% but please note these have a LHD cut-off line not RHD.
@@ORACLElights thanks for the prompt reply. Not quite sure that is the impact of the LHD cut-off line? Does it mean that I simply need to extend a cable?
@@michaelpuckridge3491 What I referring to is the projection. It is hard to tell in the video because the Jeep is vey close to the wall on the projection test but if you look at 0:25 in this video you can see it is not a straight line, the beam has a step to it. It is more clear if you look at the beam test at oraclelights.com/oculus This is a LHD (left hand drive) feature, most AU vehicles do not have this step to the beam. It is something MOST people would never notice this. I only bring it up because someone in AU bought these lights then contacted us to see if we can provide a beam without a step and we were able to custom make a set of projector plates without a step for him because he was very concerned about this. Sorry for so much information, again it is not something you may not have even noticed. To answer your question: YES the lights you can order from Quadratec will work on your AU JL without changing any wiring.
@@ORACLElights Many thanks for the details reply, that did help understand. Cheers.
Is there anyway I can turn off the halos and have them only turn on with the headlights? I don’t really want them on during the day.
Sure! You would just wire the halo to your running light or headlight circuit instead of a circuit that's powered as soon as the Jeep is turned on.
So these replace factory halogen headlights?
Sure! Or you can even replace the factory LED headlights with these as well!
What are the vent caps for? Is there ever a situation where you need to use them for something ?
Thank god it won’t fit the JK’s... I can’t afford to swap out year-old KC Gravity Pro’s!!
JK Oculus solution in the works already, Quadratec will have it as soon as it becomes available :)
@@ORACLElights Great, really like these. When do you think they'll be available for JK?
I don't tell.. I know
Just bought a pair of halo headlights off Amazon it is not an easy process. First I had to remove my after market front bumper and winch just to get to this headlight install then the halo drl would not turn on unless directly touching the battery. Beware get professional help when installing headlights it is a nightmare.
Also tried hardwiring to multiple fuses and also did two different fuse taps nothing worked I will from now on pay extra to get it professionally done
Are these available for JK?
No, these are only available for the JL & JT.
OCULUS TAKE NOTE.
These do NOT work on a 2018 JL Sport (2-Dr) Canadian vehiclew. I tried 2 sets. The Oculus box says JL 2009-2019. This is a clue of something wrong as they can't be the same for both models.
The projectors come on in DRL operation (when dial in "Auto" position) and in daylight. THE PROJECTORS FLICKER. classically underpowered. I have it on VIDEO.
BUT The projectors should NOT be coming on in DRL mode at all as it defeats the purpose of the halos.
This is a deal-breaker unless there is some kind of update or missing part for JLs my dealer does not know about.
The PERFORMANCE is otherwise FANTASTIC Fantastic low beam width, brightness, laser clean cut-off line, the best I've seen.
The projectors are rightly disabled when the parking brake is activated but they SHOULD NOT come on in DRL mode either. Just saw a M-B GL with halos (no beams) for DRLs and that is the right mode of operation.
Either they need to be dealer- flashed (which any shop that sells them should know, have tested before they let them out the door, and advised customer in advance) or if Canadian JLs require a flicker harness they should kno wthat too. Anybody can resell a product. But I buy from my local shop to support them and they should be informed. But again, neither of these are indicated as requirements in this QUADRATEC video or on the Oculus packaging.
These are not $50 bulb swaps ...They are $900 CDN out the door..
Again, the box says for 09-2019 Jeep Wrangler JL. This is WRONG. The requirements are clearly different between a JL and JK.
So who is confused? My shop? Oculus? Quatratec? Are Canadian vehicles wired differently?? My invoice says JL/JK with part number 5839-504. Again, that can't be right because the electrics/requirements are known to be different on the two generations....
If OCULUS MONITORS THIS SITE, they need to explain this situation to the community. Something is not right somewhere in the supply/information chain.
I have spent 3 hours of my life re and re-ing these lights and documenting this and am back at the starting line with the shittiest of OEM halogens I have ever experienced. While I'm griping, shame on JEEP for cheaping out and letting this new generation Wrangle out of the factory with these completely crappy halogens. Maybe JEEP monitors this site too... I have a penlight flashlight in the glovebox with better punch...
Buyer beware.
please contact Oracle for help with this.
@@Quadratec I did. Posted reply below. Short answer. Canadian vehicles need to be flashed.
I thought it was plug and play.
It is
This is the problem with US DOT requirements for headlights - there is no side projection to illuminate street signs!! As can be seen with the projection on the wall, low beam is completely flat with the standard cut off pattern. Drive with Eruopean headlights and you'll understand how bad these US headlights are!!!
My old jeep truck looks more like a fallen angel...no halo
Milo ventimiglia and myself , Manny best friend talk her had fun .
Mine steam up👎🏼
