Reviews for Oracle Lighting 5817-504 Vector Grill for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
I have been through 2 grills in less than a year both with LED strips that fail. Don't waste your money or time.
Purchased Spring 2018. Since then, passenger brow went out in August. Now the driver brow is flickering. Support was helpful the first time but now, its almost like they want nothing to do with helping you. Its just an email spam of "have you tried x" " or have you tried y?" Not once have they offered to send a new unit or even new cables they think are causing the problem. I have been asked for pictures, videos, and narratives on what the issue is. I have come to the technical and visual determination that this product is another that looks great but fails at everything else. DO NOT BUY. I am posting my grille on ebay once its "fixed" and never buying oracle product again.
Don’t waste your money! Similar problems as others with LED light ribbons blinking when on high beams, left blinker double-flashing and telling me that it’s burned out on the message panel, etc. But what really pissed me off is that it’s not compatible with aftermarket bumpers. I’m running the ever popular AEV bumper and it blocks the blinker LED strips and was binding against the blinker strips so bad that it broke them. As well, it covers over 50% of the blinker strips blocking the light. The bumper looks awesome in the catalog but it’s just not ready for prime time.
Although it looks pretty cool, I'm running with the same issues as some folks here, the whole righ side is dark. The right low beams are dead, the right side led bar sometimes turns on. The right turn signal works. The left side turn signal, however, although it works, it sends a signal to the dirver that reads "Turn Signal Burnt" Saddest part, since I live down in Mexico, there's no way to make the Life Time Warranty to work because there was a third party involved... The company that ships from the US to MX. So, I'm screwed, apparently, but if you've made it this far on my rant... Just stay away from it.
While I love the look of the grill, unfortunately this product was rushed to market too quickly. The installation instructions were severely lacking in information, requiring multiple calls for customer service for clarification on which harness adapters to use and why. I have experienced a random "rapid fire" turn signal. Now, after 6 months, I am having the same issue a lot of others are having. Both DRL's are almost completely out with the exception of a couple lights. Looks great - poor product. I have started the tedious warranty process. We will see how that goes. Oh, like others have stated, the high beams are poor as well.
I originally gave it a good review, but low and behold, everything started breaking. Similar to the other reviews, the lights just stopped working. One of the brows stopped working altogether and the other flickers. On top of that, my low beams on one side stopped working. It looks great when working..... but unfortunately it seems there are several of us who purchased this all having the same problems.
Buyer beware. It looks slick. It fit nice... but the lights on the LED brow flickered and one side went completely out after only 3 weeks. Looks like they opted for some of china's finest craftsmanship. The grille itself is sturdy and it fit right. It just angers me that after waiting 8 months, this happened. I should have stuck with what I had before.
I bought this grille for my 2014 Jeep wrangler unlimited. It was a very nice grille but ive had it for about 2 months now and the whole left L.E.D strip went out. Very fragile grille for almost a thousand dollars. Not worth the purchase.
Very defective. When I got it, it looked great. I have a 2017 JK jeep wrangler and the clips to connect inside did not reach the area where the headlights sit. After install worked great for about 1 week. It started with flickering then one of the headlights burnt out. Doesn't stop there. Then the LED strips started going out, I could tell it had something to do with the wiring. After about a week later one whole side went out. Then a day later the other side. Also, something to do with the wiring. Oracle had good customer support. Quadratec states that there is a 30-day return, hopefully, they honor that. I have been spending thirty days plus trying to work with Oracle to not return. One big hassle in the end.
I preordered this grill from Oracle in Feb 2018 and just received it several weeks ago. Here is my opinion on this grill. Likes - Kept the 7 slots / the DRL lights and turn signals / Low beam & driving beam is extremely bright. Dislikes - Overall look (looked better on photo and video than in person) / Too much real estate between the slots and top of gill / High beam is weak. Other thoughts - Used an AVE Procal and turned the turn signals on as daytime driving lights which looks pretty nice. The grill looks weird because of too much real estate between the slots and top of grill. You will probably need an emblem or decal to make it look better, however it is curved, so a larger emblem will not sit flat on the grill. I am going to have someone paint an emblem on it. A decal would look too tacky. The high beam on this can't touch my JWS. This grill is just OK to me. I am giving this a 1 star because of price (plus paint) vs design. It is not worth the money.
