Oracle Backlit Grill Letters Replaced

[Gtrekker]

Hey, I installed the BRONCO grill backlit letters in Jan 2022 and was happy with them. The letter "C" failed (half lit) about a month ago. Oracle sent me a replacement without issues. About that time Amazon had fully lighted BRONCO letters that looked interesting... Ordered a set!

The Oracle lights are held on with 3m tape, individual letters and wires. You need to create a wire harness for the letters. All good no problem...
The removal was a little tough to pry the letters off and not scratch the grill or break the letters. I started with the letter "C" since that was bad.

I replace them with the fully lit letters. Good quality, din connector lead on each letter, and mounted with C-clips. Very pleased and will be easy to replace a letter if needed. SImple install...

See pic on mounting clips, and din connector location.

HEre is the link to the fully lit BRONCO letters - they currently show unavailable.

I like how the light appears to be the same as the headlights. Is it a true match? Oracles have always looked like a good match.

Yeah, Oracle has been good with the white descriptions. I pulled the Oracle backlit letters and replaced them with fully lit letters. I think the letters are clearer then the backlit.

Here is the backlit version from January 2022

So you selling your old Oracles?

No, they didn't come off in one piece. Theres the white letter, LED board, back plate. Think I'll just turn them into some garage art.

Thanks for posting this, it came up when Oracle first released them and they insisted their method was better. Your picture kinda proves to me that fully lit is the way to go. Let's say that I threw out the original letters and screws, do the amazon ones come with new screws?

The set I ordered from Amazon was complete. The letters are one piece. The backplate has pins / tips that go through the original OEM holes in the grill. Then you press on the C clips onto the pins. See pics.

I don’t like the black areas of the letters during the day. Makes them look cheap. Just my two cents. Wife and I both have Oracle’s. Been over a year and no issue. I think they look nice at night.

I'm considering the fully lit ones on Amazon once they're available. The black filled in letters during the day is a concern of mine. @Gtrekker do you have any daytime photos up close you can share? Thank you.

Hey, here are some pics of the letters and blacked out centers. Lights are off... For me it works with my WT black grill.
