"New" Easter Eggs on the XR?

YukonCornelius · Jan 21, 2022

Can't take credit for this one, it was Hearhear over at the JL forum, but he found two new Easter Eggs that I haven't seen before on the taillight extensions.

I love it! Never knew about this until recently and spent probably an hour crawling all over mine to find them. Thanx for posting YC!

amazing... going to check mine soon. Love gimmicky stuff like this.

I love those small little touches on Jeeps. Not sure why people call them Easter Eggs though. To me Easter Egg is something that‘s hidden and requires some effort to be discovered. That’s not really the case here

Here’s another little touch: look at the shape of the hood latches; then look at the shape of the door handles; I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

My 2018 JLUR didn’t have ACC, so maybe this is old news, but spotted this today while following a car on the freeway.

A side question on those tail light extensions, has anyone removed them yet? Do the sensors still work ok? Any new holes or things that would not look good?

I am still waiting for my ‘21, so I can’t remove them to test it out.

Ralph and Louie..... Right and Left?

YukonCornelius · Jan 22, 2022

That’d be my guess!

Or the shape of the key...
Its a gas can. Definitely appropriate for a 392

Based on other posts I've seen they can be removed with no issues. I was going to do it... but I actually kind of like them. Jeep looks a little wider at night lol.
I'm sure eventually I'll pull them off

That will be my first “mod”, second is removing the fender flare extensions.

I'm super interested in the flush oracle tail lights, but I was concerned that moving the enclosure inwards/flush might mess with the blind spot sensors in some way? Maybe I'm off-base.

I know in the Oracle SEMA 392 video here, he mentions the sensors, but curious if anyone has any experience with them.

I installed them. There is a big discussion at the JL forum. There is an error on the screen saying, "light is out." The blinker light is fast inside, but normal speed utside. Lastly, the BSM (blind spot monitor) does not work...only sporadically.

Oracle is aware and supposedly working on a solution.

After seeing the hood latches and door handles mentioned here, I noticed this today and had to get a good picture. The hood scoop also matches the hood latches and door handles.

Wow, really good info.

I spent WAY too long reading through posts on that thread, and I think I found the part where the issue was initially acknowledged:

Flush Mount Style LED Tail Lights for Jeep Wrangler JL

Looks like the this tail light offering in regard to the JT has issues.... is problematic... as in "Reverse Light strobing or shutting down " Currently, only solution the company has for the JT offering applies to users with Factory Halogen Equipped JT's. The company is still working on a...

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I'm gonna have to keep a close eye on that one - because I really like the look of those things! Even though it's a little bit of a bumpy roll-out, gotta give Oracle credit for apparently taking the issue head on in this case.

Yes. The look is great! I knew of the problems before installing them, and still decided to do it because of the neat appearance. The issues with the lights (fast blinker light inside, no BSM, and error message on startup) are a deal breaker for some. Oracle rep says they are working on the fixes. I submitted the Oracle form on page 24 in that thread to place me in the list of people who are experiencing the mentioned issues.

Good call, I would have done the same with the form. I finally came upon your posts in there too, saw your saga of initially finding no issue, then eventually getting hit with it. Harsh!

Sounds like Oracle can't be blamed for the LED error code (as they explained), but the BSM issue looks like it's gonna be pretty tricky for them to solve. Crossing my fingers they get to the bottom of it before my 392 arrives (they have ~6 months... haha)
