@ORACLE Lighting how much power do you need to turn the lights on? It would be cool to tie this into lighting project that @'21OBX did to make it look factory.

The controller needs a 12v input in order to work. The light heads can't be direct powered by another source.

Not going to lie, feeling a little bitter about these additional install details that are only now being communicated alongside your product. If you’re going to repackage an existing product to be Bronco-specific, best to have those Bronco-specific instructions ready to go with them.

Spent $100+ on your product and since ya’ll say I can’t return it after following your generic/lacking instructions , I guess I have to spend more $ on replacement fiber…$5/ft for what(?) ~16.5 ft replacement fiber…plus shipping…like I said, I’m feeling real bitter about this one.

But happy your customers now have Bronco-specific instructions for their installs

I agree. I bought it the first week and now I know why I was struggling with those first lame instructions. Mine doesn't look that great and I'm not buying another. I'm considering pulling it out and taking the loss, which will be a huge factor in considering any other products from this company.

Was wondering...could you do the filament in one continously loop instead of two strips? I have upfitter switches that I would want to connect them to that is next to the steering wheel.

I showed this to my wife (it's her Bronco) thinking it would be a cool mod and she immediately was "don't even think about putting this in the Bronco!"

Me: Pshhh, of course not...

You would cut the brightness in half by reducing the number of light heads.

What are these imperfections and why are they shining through??? Looks like a cracked glow stick.

This happens when too much pressure is put on the soft PMMA when pressed in. This can also happen when the cable is excessively bent while handling.

Hey @ORACLE Lighting. I had my local official Ford Dealership install your accent light kit (using the supplied instructions + install video). Can you advise if you are updating this kit with better materials and/or better instructions? Or perhaps the unit I have is defective?

To say the least it looks very far from the product photos and videos. Please provide your thoughts so I can pass to the dealership to fix this (if at all even possible)...

Problems / Observations:
- The entire bottom strip is half the brightness due to the turns at the edges
- There are imperfections in the material everywhere - looks like a cracked glow stick (looks even worse in daylight with unit off)
- The tubing doesn't appear perfectly straight (the installer pushed it in as far as it goes)
- The installer resorted to using glue in some areas where the tubing would not stay secured
- The overall fit is below satisfactory (per the dealership)

Looks like the dealer has the cable ends pinched between the side handles. There's a groove you can run each end through between the trim panel where it won't get pinched like that. Here's a picture. (The groove is where the tech is sticking the panel tool in)

In regards to the imperfections in the cable, This happens when too much pressure is put on the soft PMMA when pressed in. This can also happen when the cable is excessively bent while handling. As stated in my last post.
