Product Update | ORACLE Vector Grill: Back and Better Than Ever!
What's New?
We have designed a completely new mounting system for the Daytime Running Light that includes making new molds for both the DRL and Vector grill itself. We've added precisely designed clips to the DRL strips and the designated area on the grill housing, ensuring a more secure seal. This enhancement prevents moisture from entering the DRLs, eliminating LED failure.
The updated Vector Grill for Jeep Wrangler JK & JL and Gladiator JT has received overwhelmingly positive feedback!
Upgrade Your Jeep: Introducing the Enhanced Vector™ ProSeries Grill
Jeep enthusiasts know that the grill is more than just a part of the vehicle’s facade; it’s a statement of style and functionality. ORACLE Lighting has taken this to heart with the introduction of the new and improved Vector™ ProSeries Grill. This cutting-edge upgrade combines advanced LED technology with rugged durability to provide Jeep owners with an unparalleled driving experience.
In this blog, we delve into the meticulous updates made to the Vector Grill, emphasizing the innovation behind the LED Jeep grills.
DRL Ingress Protection Re-Engineered
The first generation of the Vector Grill faced challenges with the DRL (Daytime Running Light) seal, which could be compromised by moisture. To address this, ORACLE Lighting has completely encapsulated the new PROSERIES DRLs in silicone before assembly. Utilizing a newly acquired, precisely calibrated piece of equipment, the channel is consistently filled every time, significantly enhancing the IP rating to IP68 and making moisture penetration virtually impossible.
This improvement was not immediate; it involved testing over a dozen different techniques and subjecting them to rigorous quality control (QC) before finalizing the design.
Control Plan Re-Engineered
To further ensure reliability, ORACLE Lighting collaborated with their factory QC team to adopt extensive post-production testing. The new control plan includes detailed testing of the DRL modules across various voltages and temperature ranges as specified in SAE J1455 Section 4.1.3.1. These tests ensure the modules can handle voltage fluctuations and extreme temperatures, guaranteeing they remain functional under harsh conditions.
Industry Recognition and Awards
These advancements have not gone unnoticed. ORACLE Lighting proudly announces the Vector™ ProSeries Grill, designed for the 2018-2020 Jeep Wrangler JL, 2020 Jeep Gladiator JT, and 2007-2018 Wrangler JK models. This patented replacement grille includes integrated LED lights, DOT-compliant headlights, high-beams, innovative sequentially firing enhanced DRLs, and quad driving lights.
“ORACLE Lighting couldn’t be more pleased with the official launch of the new Vector™ ProSeries Grill,” comments Robert Smith, ORACLE Lighting National Sales Manager. “The Vector™ design is a forward-thinking twist to the look of the JL while delivering more features, safety, and visibility for drivers, especially in lifted rigs. The Vector™ represents our company’s strong commitment to delivering American-engineered lighting solutions that help consumers get the most out of their trucks doing what they love.”
