Dumb question, but this isn’t a one-off unique blade is it?
With the endless wiper sizes for different vehicles, there is no way this is a one off wiper blade. Oracle produces lighting products, not wiper blades

Appreciate the feedback but your calculations are off and YES this was "contemplated" and evaluated during R&D which we are way past including months of on-road testing. As mentioned before this has been extensively tested (at up to triple digit speeds). Drag is not an issue.
Ok, Cool. What about wind load?

You are driving a truck shaped like a brick and you are concerned with wind load? ;). Joking of course but no it is not an issue. I want to be sure that the structure of the product is not being confused. While the visible portion of the design is a polycarbonate housing, the mounting structure is comprizsed of gusseted steel brackets utilizing the factory mounting hardware. So we are utilizing steel structure for mounting not the polycarbonate shell. So our design is using a similar type of steel mounting structure as something like this photo below with much less drag than this design.

Good question, this is not a one-off blade we are just supplying 16" blades to replace the factory 17" ones. The 17" wipers wipe up into the blacked out portion of the windshield that does not need to be wiped and slightly clips our housing so we throw in a set of new wipers for you (y)

I’m trying to plan ahead for my aux switches. I found the following specs:

Driving Beam Specifications:
- Raw Lumen Light Output: 18,000LM
- Effective Lumen Light Output: 14,200LM
- Peak Intensity: 420,000CD
- Total Wattage: 240 Watts
- Total Amp Draw: 14A @12V DC
- Beam Angle: 40° Driving Beam
- Max Projection Distance: 1Lux@648M
- Color Temperature: 5500K-6000K
- Advanced Optic Design for Optimal Visibility

Do you have available the amp draw for the clearance lights? I’d likely want them (the ambers if that makes a difference) paired on the same aux switch with my fog light backlights and want to make sure that the switch where I currently have those is going to provide adequate current. Thanks

Both clearance light colors pull less than 1a.

Finished installation. Everything was strait forward except for locating a good ground, I ended up using the forward bolt for my passenger side overhead grab handle. Removed paint around the threaded bolt hole for good contact, and fitted the appropriate size ring terminal. Extended the ground wire about 16 inches, routed it above and behind the air bag to avoid interference. I drilled a hole through the windshield frame to access the factory wiring, and sealed it with both the supplied gromet and adhesive silicone (I let it cure overnight before proceeding). Drilling this hole required a cobalt bit, the steel appears to be a high strength variety and regular HSS bits had trouble cutting it. The light is very bright in full sun, I'm looking forward to a night test. The light bar has a small gap beween it and the housing, in Florida this will require periodic removal for cleaning/debugging. The supplied wiper blades appear to be of a good quality.

I just finished, and I'm 30 miles from the nearest highway.

I connected to AUX 1 for convenience. I'm not likely to use my other switches, and if I need AUX 1 for something else, it's easy to change. I did not connect the clearance lights, for me the effort to run another wire up to the windshield, wasn't worth the effort.

For the clearance lights the Amber will override the white so a neat option is to connect the White to ignition fuse power (see below) and the Amber to the parking lights so when the amber parking lights are on the amber clearance lights are on.

So I could essentially do the amber clearance lights on AUX 1, then not wire the white clearance lights, then have the actual light bar wired to AUX 2? That would be my preferred setup.
