We are excited to finally unveil this new product featuring high-powered LED light bars integrated into factory-style side mirrors of the RAM 1500! This integration allows for easy installation and a sophisticated, almost "OEM" appearance while providing functional peripheral illumination for the driver. The LEDs are custom design that features a total of 24 LEDs producing approximately 2250 Lm. Each unit has a 45° beam angle to optimize the driver's peripheral visibility.

Functionality:
Why is peripheral illumination important? Factory headlights and most auxiliary lights only illuminate the area in front of the vehicle. Ideally for off-road activities, such as trail riding, the driver needs to be able to clearly see the area on the sides of the trail to spot obstructions, which would otherwise go unnoticed and could be a potential hazard.

Innovation:
Besides being functional these new LED Mirrors from ORACLE Lighting look great as well! The LED light bar is a custom design that features a total of 24 powerful Cree LEDs. This gives the driver increased visibility and peripheral illumination. Each unit has a 45° beam angle to optimize the driver's peripheral visibility for riding on the trail or in the desert. Multiple aluminum heat sinks are used to effectively wick heat away from the LEDs and are designed to use the airflow through the mirror housing to increase cooling similar to a radiator.

(example above is same product installed on Wrangler for Reference)

Durability:
The housing material is made from rugged Polycarbonate which is 2x stronger than the factory ABS housing- and bolts onto the vehicle using the factory mounts for easy installation. A set of anodized rock guards protects the LED acrylic lenses, which also houses the LED focusing optics. These efficient optics focus the light for optimal visibility from the driver seat position.

Function:
Unlike existing "Ditch-Lights" which look like an afterthought the Side-mirror is the only part of the vehicle designed to be in the driver field of vision wheel driving- this makes it an ideal location to mount effective and functional lighting to enhance driver visibility during night-time trail rides. The driver needs to be able to clearly see the area on both of the sides of the trail to spot obstructions, which could go unnoticed and be a potential hazard.

Design:
Our goal developing this product was to create a LED light bar that could be seamlessly integrated into the vehicle design in a way the appears to be factory. Light bars tacked to bumpers and roof racks have poor integration and appear to be an afterthought. These mirrors provide a functional purpose and look good doing it- the best of both worlds!

can you make that interchangable to amber? That would be awesome!
 
Looks pretty killer!
 
This is an insanely awesome idea. If you can figure out how to maintain quality control at an Asian factory then this will be a great product. Vortex and some other companies have done it, but it ain't easy.
 
Excellent add for the TRX !

Can they be used with Tow Mirrors?
 
Can these be used to replace the tow mirrors on a 23?
 
This is an insanely awesome idea. If you can figure out how to maintain quality control at an Asian factory then this will be a great product. Vortex and some other companies have done it, but it ain't easy.
We have been making these types of mirrors for several years now, starting with the F150/ Raptor then the Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, and new Ford Bronco. Happy to say that we have the QC process pretty well sorted now after years of experience with this concept.

Excellent add for the TRX !
Agreed!

Can they be used with Tow Mirrors?
No but we already had some requests for a tow mirror version so we are looking into offering this.
 
Add me as another potential buyer if you introduced a tow mirror version.

Side question: Is there any additional wind noise or whistling at higher speeds with these?

We did some long-run beta testing at highway (and higher) speeds with zero wind noise or whistling.
 
Here is a video we made covering some of the key features of the LED mirrors (its not on a TRX but the info is the same).

 
That's pretty sweet, I would be interested in ordering a set of these.
 
I'm in for a tow mirror set.

Do these add any width to the truck, meaning wider than the oem mirror housing?
 
How are they controlled? Wired to aux? Remote fob?
