And this is the company that wants people to lay out $1800 for a set of fog lights.
Screw that, whaaaat!
Just an early 2 month update: No issues so far through Chicago cold, snow, ice, and salt spray. They just work like they should, even though they only cost $69 instead of $500. Amazing... LOLInstead I bought these $69 eBay LED lights. While I prefer the Oracle Flush design, I can accept this design for the price, especially . They came with resistors mounted high on the lights away from road spray, plug and play for halogen replacements, reuses OEM bracket so it fits great without trimming and using spacers like Oracle. Even if these fail and I have to replace these every 12 months like Oracle lights, at least it'll be inexpensive!
I'm done with Oracle branded anything...
Especially when those name brand lights are sourced from China as well.
Right? It's not as if any of the name brand lights are hand-crafted by Amish folks in rural Pennsylvania!
I didn't go the housing route - I went the bulb route through F150LED's. In less than a year, I replaced both bulbs and both resistors. Tearing the housings out every six months is not worth having LED's to me. I'm back to stock where I will stay.Let me start by saying this is just a fair warning to anyone who is looking to upgrade your taillights.
I bought these direct from the manufacturer and at the time had only seen positive reviews about the company and their quality. My experience has proven to be less fortunate not once but now twice. The photos below are taken about four months apart and the issue is the same. The difference however is that the failed tail lamp on the drivers side from the first photo was exchanged for a brand new one seen in photo number two. The first lamp lasted 6 months or thereabouts from time of install as I left them in the box for about a year while I sourced the time for the install and more importantly the early Windows PC that could run the Forescan to even use the lamps. They were actually good about replacing this from the perspective of the normal warranty period as my procrastination with installation had passed the warranty period. I appreciated this very much actually.
But the process to deal with the requirements of that manufacturer and the hoops they force you to jump through was quite painful and not logical or convenient to the end user. To get the replacement lamp took about a month of back and forth plus they wanted me to remove the light for a build code before they would ship the replacement. Let's just say this is far from convenient and what I found when I finally did go to replace the lamp is that the plastic tab that pushes into the holder is very brittle and broke immediately upon removal. The second lamp lasted less than 4 months. I guess I'm going back to stock at this point.
I did the exact same thing, and so far after almost 2 years, they have been fine. Now I did have to replace one on my 2014 F350 under warranty, but it has been fine since.
Could be something to do with the resistors needed for the halogen replacements. I suspect there are more halogen owners who "upgraded" to Oracles since many of the Signature lighting LED owners are mostly satisfied with their OEM upgraded LEDs from Ford.
Yea, that makes sense! I didn't have a problem with how the stock Signature tail lights looked, but after I got the Oracle's, they were now my favorite by far!
Agreed, the Oracle design is my favorite too. I just couldn't handle the ongoing issues and despite the extended warranty, lack of confidence that they'd last.
Did your Oracles replace OEM bulb or LED tail lights?This is my third Oracle tail light to fail, I quit. Waste of money. They company has handled it well, but regardless of how nice they are, the quality is poor and would require a full redesign to fix. I'm installing FORM tails today and from what I've heard, the quality and features out perform Oracle all day. Time will tell, but I don't have the patience or time to replace broken Oracle tails once a year, warranty or not.
Like I said, mine have been in there 2 years without an issue... I'm wondering if it has something to do with the Non-LUX vs LUX models?This is my third Oracle tail light to fail, I quit.
