Got my Oracles and they came out sweet with the scratch cards.

[TheGriffin1313]

These bad boys took 3hrs sold to put in. I removed the bumper to make it easy since the guards are stuck on.
Pretty simple and straightforward as the video instructions show. I did add a zip tie and a foam block over the resistors as the clips are a bit hokey.

They are 2x brighter then the original and have more surface area of illumination even though the lens size is much smaller.

I think with the scratch guards they fill in real nice.
The rear lights were added on during the same install.

One thing to point out is how thin a$$ is the steel frame…. I mean come on Ford is 1.5 sigma that profitable. No wonder these frames are toast when rear ended.

Ps there is. 10mm bolt on top that you can undo and adjust or slide the top trim piece for ideal alignment and even gap clearance that is not in any instructions.

I think you can than the modern "crush zone" requirements for that frame thickness. Not Fords choice... it is a requirement.

Not necessarily… that thin wall thickness runs all the way down the frame and is not local to the crush zone. And totaling the frame just to appease safety features does not negate the fact that it could be designed better.

Not disagreeing with what you are saying.... But I do believe the impetus of the "crush zone" regulation is what drove the design, that and the litigation that would result when put to the test and you had significant field failures relative to crush zones. I think our litigious society plays a major roll in design these days.

I can not prove tit but it is a working theory that I think has legs.

That's the first I've seen the trail armor on a Bronco and I thought it looked good.

Flush fit lights are looking great !

I can see the cross bar being thin as it is and easily cut and replaced after and acci
