First Look! ORACLE Bronco Side Mirrors w/ Integrated LED Ditch Lights

[mikeeshim]

Fj cruisers get tickets for the lights on theirs mirrors?

No, because the ones on the FJ were SAE cert. These Oracles are probably 50x brighter and above 40" in height, which would push them waaay out of allowable running light limits. Legally, without the SAE mark, all lights need to be covered when on public roads. For instance, the fog lights on the BRaptor come covered because of this law, but many people, my self included, don't abide by this, just like I don't drive 65 on the highways.

Sorry my question was how to incorporate running lights not use them as running lights. Maybe swap out for some backlit leds or something .

If you have the zone lighting on the mirrors, perhaps you could rewire them to your DRL wires.
If you don't have them, perhaps adding a rock light on each side could do the trick.
Why you would want DRLs so high up is beyond me, but the eye of the beholder knows more than I.
I run the @Baja Designs triple fog light kit as my supplemental DRLs, but just the yellow inside ones since they're on a separate switch from the white fogs... This could be another option.

I see no difference.

I have a question. Already put in my pre-order but wanted to know how they will be shipped from a connection perspective. Will they be set up for aux switch connection? I know kw that is my preference.

They will ship with cables that can be connected to any source. In the install video (Posting soon) I show how to connect to the OEM AUX wiring.

This innovative new product from ORACLE Lighting features a set of high powered LED light bars integrated into factory-style side mirrors of the new Ford Bronco! This integration allows for easy installation and a sophisticated, almost "OEM" appearance while providing functional peripheral illumination for the driver. The LEDs are custom design that features a total of 24 LEDs producing approximately 2250 Lm. Each unit has a 45° beam angle to optimize the driver's peripheral visibility.

Functionality:
Why is peripheral illumination important? Factory headlights and most auxiliary lights only illuminate the area in front of the vehicle. Ideally for off-road activities, such as trail riding, the driver needs to be able to clearly see the area on the sides of the trail to spot obstructions, which would otherwise go unnoticed and could be a potential hazard.

Innovation:
Besides being functional these new LED Mirrors from ORACLE Lighting look great as well! The LED light bar is a custom design that features a total of 24 powerful Cree LEDs. This gives the driver increased visibility and peripheral illumination. Each unit has a 45° beam angle to optimize the driver's peripheral visibility for riding on the trail or in the desert. Multiple aluminum heat sinks are used to effectively wick heat away from the LEDs and are designed to use the airflow through the mirror housing to increase cooling similar to a radiator.

(example above is same product installed on Wrangler for Reference)

Compatibility:
The Bronco trim levels have different features implemented into the side mirrors from the factory such as cameras, puddle lights, and indicators. To make these mirrors compatible with all trim levels blank plates were designed to replace these features on the ORACLE mirrors. If your Bronco is equipped with these features simple remove the blank and swap over the component. If you do not have these features just leave the blanks in place for a seamless appearance.

Durability:
The housing material is made from rugged Polycarbonate which is 2x stronger than the factory ABS housing- and bolts onto the vehicle using the factory mounts for easy installation. A set of anodized rock guards protects the LED acrylic lenses, which also houses the LED focusing optics. These efficient optics focus the light for optimal visibility from the driver seat position.

Function:
Unlike existing "Ditch-Lights" which look like an afterthought the Side-mirror is the only part of the vehicle designed to be in the driver field of vision wheel driving- this makes it an ideal location to mount effective and functional lighting to enhance driver visibility during night-time trail rides. The driver needs to be able to clearly see the area on both of the sides of the trail to spot obstructions, which could go unnoticed and be a potential hazard.

Design:
Our goal developing this product was to create a LED light bar that could be seamlessly integrated into the vehicle design in a way the appears to be factory. Light bars tacked to bumpers and roof racks have poor integration and appear to be an afterthought. These mirrors provide a functional purpose and look good doing it- the best of both worlds!

In for the group buy. These seem neat.

Don't think we will be offering color match as a default service, but we could provide a quote to have it custom painted. It does have a light texture finish similar to the OEM mirror caps, so it will need to be blocked and primed first.

Ditch lights are not meant to be used in traffic or for road driving. Expect to get ticketed of you're seen using them on pavement.

So, please educate me: Does illegal mean that one cannot even have them mounted? Or, just not turned-on, on pavement?

They can be mounted just not used on public roadways.
