Important Fitment Note for 2026 Jeep Wrangler JL

Jeep revised the rear bumper for the 2026 model year. On 2026 models, the rear access opening used to remove the factory reflector nut and install the ORACLE retaining screw is no longer present. Installation on 2026 vehicles requires removing the rear bumper. Plan for additional time, tools, and a second person to help lower and position the bumper.

Because of normal variation in factory bumpers, minor trimming or clearancing may be needed on some vehicles for a flush fit.

Installation Guide

2018-2026 Jeep Wrangler JL LED Bumper Reverse Lights - 1000 Lumen High-Output Upgrade

Why do I need upgraded reverse lights for my Jeep Wrangler JL?

Factory Jeep Wrangler JL reverse lights are notoriously dim, even on models equipped with LED tail lights, resulting in poor backup camera performance in the dark and limited visibility when reversing. ORACLE Rear Bumper LED Reverse Lights (Part #5874-504) solve this common complaint by adding over 1,000 lumens of illumination directly into the rear bumper reflector area. Each light features 11 high-powered 1-watt LEDs with an optic-focused wide beam pattern that extends your field of view. This patented design seamlessly replaces factory bumper reflectors with a clean OE appearance while providing the bright illumination needed for safe nighttime backing and effective backup camera operation.

How bright are ORACLE bumper reverse lights compared to stock Jeep JL lights?

ORACLE Rear Bumper LED Reverse Lights deliver over 1,000 raw lumens total (500+ lumens per light), providing dramatically brighter illumination than factory Jeep Wrangler JL reverse lights. Each module contains 11 high-powered 1-watt LEDs arranged to create an optic-focused wide beam pattern, transforming nighttime backing from barely visible to daylight-like conditions according to customer reviews. For optimal performance, ORACLE highly recommends converting stock halogen reverse light bulbs in the tail lights to LED bulbs, which work synergistically with the bumper lights for maximum rear illumination.

Will I need to modify my steel bumper for the reverse light to fit?

These lights are designed as a direct-fit replacement for the Jeep Wrangler JL, using existing factory mounting hardware and maintaining a clean OE appearance. For stock plastic bumpers, installation is straightforward with no modification required. Factory steel bumpers are stamped, so the opening size can vary slightly. Most steel bumpers require a small amount of grinding to the bumper opening for the light to sit flush - grind gradually and test the fit often. Any exposed bare steel should be primed and painted to prevent rust. Modifying the bumper for fitment does not void your ORACLE warranty as long as care is taken so the light itself is not damaged in the process.

Do ORACLE bumper reverse lights cause error codes on Jeep Wrangler JL?

No. ORACLE Rear Bumper LED Reverse Lights are specifically engineered to tap into the existing reverse light power source without triggering any error codes on your Jeep Wrangler JL. The kit integrates seamlessly with the factory electrical system, whether you have halogen or LED factory tail lights. You can also upgrade to ORACLE's plug-and-play wiring adapter (Part #5879-504) for even easier, error-free installation.

What's included with the ORACLE Wrangler JL bumper reverse light kit?

The kit (Part #5874-504) includes 2 complete LED reverse light modules, T-tap wiring connectors, factory mounting hardware, and complete installation instructions. Each light features cast aluminum housing with powder-coat finish, clear PMMA lenses, and 11 high-powered 1-watt LEDs (500+ lumens per module). For easiest installation, ORACLE recommends adding the optional plug-and-play wiring adapter (Part #5879-504, sold separately).

Why Oracle?

All of our products are engineered and designed right here in Metairie, Louisiana. With over 15 years of experience building lighting for the automotive aftermarket, we control every step of the process - from R&D to final assembly - so you're getting a part built to a standard, not just a spec sheet.
Whether it's an install question, a fitment question, or you just want a second opinion before you order - pick up the phone and talk to someone who actually knows the product. No call centers, no scripts. Just people who know Jeeps, Broncos, Tacomas, and trucks as well as you do.
We don't make one-size-fits-all lighting. Every product is engineered around the specific fitment, electronics, and driving demands of the platform it's built for - so what you install is what was designed for your vehicle from day one.
Before anything ships, it's been run through real-world abuse - mud, vibration, weather, and mileage - not just a bench test. If it can't survive the trail or the daily commute, it doesn't make it to your truck.
We stand behind what we build. Every Oracle product ships with a manufacturer warranty and a team that actually honors it - because a good part with no support isn't a good deal.
Orders ship quickly from our Metairie facility, with tracking sent the moment your parts are on their way - so you know exactly when to expect them, every time.

Almost perfect

My reflectors removed easily though the left side was snug in the bumper cut out. The right side fit the bumper perfect, but the left side would not fit. Obviously, the bumper stamping is slightly smaller but, the reflector fits the cut out. The light does not. I had to use a die grinder and repaint the cutout. Otherwise, they are great. Very bright over a large area.

Thank you so much for the feedback. If installing our Reverse Lights to a Steel Bumper, some modification is required for proper fitment. Does your Jeep have the Steel Bumper?

Wow…are these bright!

Bought a set of these for my Moab…I’d heard there would be a noticeable difference, but wow, was I impressed. The stock backup lights are pretty dim, these make it like daylight.

Red fog rear lights.

I would like to have them in red colour, to be used as rear fog lights. Do you expect to produce them?
Many thanks in advance.

Really a nice add on

Great back up lights for my 2018 JL . The install would be alot easier if you could use some adhesive to secure the new back up lights . Trying to get that 7 mm screw back in was and is NIGHTMARE. Other wise they are great lights .

Great addition to my Rubicon

If you have a JL with a steel bumper, these lights will replace the reflectors ad really light up what is behind you when you shift into reverse. They are a must have. They are a very elegant and easy way to fix the anemic stock backup lights on the JLU.

Clean back up lights, easier way to install them

Take your muffler off. Loosen exhaust clamp, disconnect exhaust rubber mounts or take complete mounts off on both sides, 4 bolts.
Then use a thin wall 7mm deep socket with 8 in extension with flash light you can reach the 7mm screw holding the red reflectors on both sides. New light on drivers side had to be filed to fit. Then tape the 7mm screws to the socket and install into back of new lights . Then continue to wire per instructions. No need to remove steel bumper. Love the back up lights, clean look.

Jeep LED reverse lights

I had to grind away quite a bit of the aluminum housing to get it to fit on the bumper as it was to tight. I would have broken it if I had tried to force in on the drivers side. Need to bevel the back like the factory lights so you can angle in the clip first.

Passenger side went in with no grinding.

It would help if the wires leads were about 6” longer.

Love them. Really bright.

I love these lights. Really bright and look great. They make a huge difference. Highly recommended.

The install was a bit of a pain in the butt. But that's not Oracle's fault. That's on Jeep for making these reflectors hard to access. I had to remove the bumper from the Jeep. I have a Sahara with the factory hitch, and rear cross traffic detection. So it just made sense to take it off. (Check YouTube). Once you have it off, the factory reflector is a bit offset from the opening on the rear of the bumper, so you will definitely need a swivel socket adapter to get at the screw holding the reflector in. Once you have the bumper off, it's easy to install these lights. The instructions are good--just assume you need to remove the bumper though. Simple hand tools was all it took (16mm deep socket, 5/8 or 16mm box wrench, 8mm socket/nut driver) and about 30 min of work. Removing the rear wheels is not necessary, but it was a big help for me. If you have the means to easily do so (floor jack, jack stands, Impact Wrench, etc), I would recommend it.

The ONE gripe I have is the length of wire lead from the light. Oracle should've made it at least 18" longer. It was very tight to get it to the light. I wound up putting in extensions to give me more room to work with. This was definitely the case on the passenger side. The driver side was workable, but I made an 18" extension for each side and then shrink tubed the connections and it made a huge difference.
